Senior Drupal Developer | The Baldwin Group, Inc.
The Baldwin Group, Inc. (TBG) (www.tbgroupconsultants.com) seeks a talented Web Designer with experience implementing a web content management system (Drupal). This position will support our contract with the NOAA Coastal Services Center (www.csc.noaa.gov) and the NOAA National Climatic Data (www.ncdc.noaa.gov).

Selecting blocks from a node
The main content area has
- left sidebar
- main content
- right sidebar
The left and right sidebar will have a default block assigned. However, I'd like to expose a drop-down menu where the user can select specific blocks for each node page. This selection will override or replace the default block.
Right now I'm managing this via the blocks page using path assignments, but the UI/paradigm context shift out of nodes when leaving a node to find the appropriate block and update the active viewing paths is jarring for new users.
As always, thanks!
