    Maybe that is a stupid question but with the new structure of 0.8 ... where to I put additional blocks for modules I've downloaded somewhere else. For example Polls block or Advanced profile for pnphpbb? I tried to put them into the blocks directory inside the module they are getting content from but those just are not becoming active/available in the blocks section in this case.

    Well,
    some of that Blocks may need an update to the new 0.8 technologies, nothing hard.

    But if you want to try, put them in the /config/blocks directory.
    The config directory is where we'll put some customized stuff (also in the /themes folder) and there will be safe when we upgrade the system. I think that the .7x Polls block is currently deprecated and you may use the 0.8 version.

    I hope that Mark West include a copy of the .8 Polls module in the RC3!
    Good luck! icon_wink

    That did help, thanks. For those wondering too: the blocks copied to config/blocks directory show up under legacy/xyz in the blocks selection.

    On a side note: I'm trying to use as few modules as possible BTW so the forum poll option is all I need anyway. :)
