Shared Blocks configuration is not currently exportable for inclusion in Features modules or other uses. Subscribed and published block configuration should be exportable.

BrockBoland commentedI started work on this today. Subscribed blocks can be exported to code, and in-code blocks are available to place on the page (along with those in the DB). The admin interface needs to be updated to show in-code blocks and allow them to be overridden. I'm not sure yet if CTools has a standard interface that can be used for this, like the one used for Views and the Bulk Export modules; I'm hoping that I can just make use of some existing UI elements there.
I also want to move the
block_datacolumn out of thesharedblockstable, partly to make exporting cleaner and partly because it doesn't really belong there anyway (#1681872: Move cached contents of subscribed blocks out of the sharedblocks table).For the time being, I've pushed up the
1613178_featuresbranch to store in-progress code.Comment #2
BrockBoland commentedThis is addressed in the 7.x-2.0-beta2 release, which needs testers. If you are using 7.x-1.0, please try out 7.x-2.0-beta2 and let us know if you have any issues with the upgrade path.
