did you know that you can do MORE than 1 custom block?

I just tried it :D and Custom_Block 2 CAN be completely different to Custom_Block 1, this is VERY USEFUL!! :mrgreen:

so you can create a whole series of Custom_Blocks I think, I have done 2 and they contain totally different contents!! 8-) this is great!

========================
well I did not set any groups for the first Custom Block so it displays all the time of course. For my 2nd custom block I set it for Guests, but it displays all the time, so maybe the Custom Blocks take their permissions from the first one I don't know - oh well, it's still good to be able to have more than 1 ;)

You may only select guests, if guests are allowed to see only the block.

can each block have it's own permissions?

I appreciate that permissions exist to start with under ACP > Groups permissions > Reg Users > Advanced Pertmissions > Misc

but say that you have allowed Guests AND Reg Members under this, then all your blocks have to match that? or can some BLOCKS say "Guests Only" ?

Yes!

Yes!
You can see many custom blocks with authorization for certain groups only.
Forgive them only group rights, but no special user rights.
Then they can keep track.
Make it into a profile of each group and test them.
