If you have a main site with blocks that you want to syndicate across several
other websites, you need this module!
Features:
- Allows publishing and subscribing of Drupal blocks
- Changes to published blocks are updated on sites with subscription blocks
- Published blocks provides a JSON endpoint at sharedblocks/{module}/{delta}
- Block subscriptions are updated on cron with an adjustable refresh interval
Cross-version Usage
Drupal 7 sites can subscribe to blocks that are published by Drupal 6 sites, but the opposite is not always true. Some D7 blocks return a render array for the content, and D6 sites don't know what to do with it. There is a ticket open to address this: #1580248: Include data format when requesting a published block.
