Introduction

This extension was created to create a small portal, with blocks containing links.

What does it do?

You can create an unlimited amount of blocks, containing links or text items. These blocks can be minimized and ordered (by dragging) customizing the page to how the user prefers it. The user preferred settings are retained in a cookie. So when the user returns to the page he will find the page looking exactly as he set it before. When the user has a user-profile, the settings are stored permanently. Newly added blocks will appear at the bottom.

Users manual

You can drag the blocks, ordering them to your preference. By clicking the '-' icon, you can minimize the block. The settings are saved automatically, meaning that when you return you will see the page just as when you left it.

Adminstration

Install the Extension

This extension relies on the xajax extension and the nc_lib extension, please install them first or otherwise the extension will not work / install.
