Field as Block

Field as Block provides an easy way to display one or more fields of the current node in a block.

This module aims to be a light weight alternative to modules like Panels and Display Suite, or using Views to define a block which only retrieves one field.

Usage (Drupal 7)

• Enable the module
• Open the Manage Display admin page of the entity (for instance: /admin/structure/types/manage/article/display for the article node type)
• Mark one or more fields to be displayed as block
• Select the desired formatter and formatter settings
• Set the field label to hidden if you do not want the block to have a title
• Save the Manage Display form
• Open the block administration form (/admin/structure/block) and assign the block(s) to a region

Usage (Drupal 8)

- ToDo: Write instructions. -
