Exposed form in block, without a block!

This is a simple module that will only be useful under very specific circumstances. Let me paint a picture and if you can see yourself in it, go ahead and use it :)

- You got MANY views page displays.
- The designer has all the exposed filters in the sidebar (or any region).
- The view pages do not have any other content in that region.
- If you exposed each filter form into a block you'll end up with MANY blocks which will make the blocks' administration a pain.

Auto Exposed block allows you to assign the (page) display's exposed block to be automatically placed in the desired region.

Note that if you got any other content that you need to place in that region, avoid this solution as you won't be able to weight-sort the blocks.

Got a D8 version up and running too.
