Boxes module is really great addition to default blocks. But it lacks some administrative interface other from blocks.

That is why i created a separate page only with the list of all boxes, without blocks and theme regions.

It is useful if you want to see all the boxes in one place. Also if you are using Context - you don't need theme regions to be displayed here.
So it makes it much easier to add/edit/delete boxes without dealing with complex block administrative page.

Boxes

Would be nice, if you include my patch in a next version of the module!

Feedback is welcome and highly appreciated.

Here is new version of the patch.

  • Now box configuration page is located outside 'Block' page.
  • User without "administer blocks" permission is able to add/edit/delete boxes, but not able to change block-specific configs (for example set up regions or visibility settings)
