CCK Blocks: Separate node fields

Today I would like to introduce you, if you don’t know it yet, to the CCK Blocks module. A simple and useful module that allows us to display node fields in blocks, giving us greater flexibility when it comes to layout and displaying information.

It is available for download at http://drupal.org/project/cck_blocks. Once installed, we access the configuration of the content type we have already created and edit the fields we want to display separately.

On the edit page, we have a new option: Provide block for this field. Once activated, and returning to the content type configuration—this time in the Manage Display tab—we will have a new sub-tab called CCK Blocks that will allow us to drag the fields we want to show in an independent block. Once these steps are completed, in Structure > Blocks, we will have a new block for each field available to display in the region we want.
