6.7. Blocks in various pages

Certain blocks can only exist in certain page contexts. For example, the wall can only be placed on the profile page whereas the text box can be used on any page. There are a number of page contexts which can have different blocks:

  • portfolio page
  • group page
  • institution page
  • site page
  • profile page
  • dashboard page

The following list shows in which contexts a specific block and therefore a specific artefact can be used. It also shows which blocks can be copied. The original idea came from Synergy Learning for Mahara 1.3.
