[Xarcell]

To create a block, go to "Tiny Portal > Panels & Blocks > SELECT PANEL TYPE > Add New Block". Next, select "Articles in a Category" block-type then click save. From there just enter in your block title.

There will be 2 specific option to toggle from:

• Show Article Listing From Category(dropdown list of categories)
  
• Number of articles before scrollbar
  

Now you will have several standard block options to select.

Block Frame/Looks:

• Use frame from theme
  
• Use frame, but not title
  
• Use just the title
  
• Do not use title/frame
  

Block Upshrink:

• Allow block to collapse
  
• Do not allow block to collapse
  

Who Can View Block:

• There will be a list of all membergroups to toggle from.
  
• If none are chosen, it will only show it to admin.
  
• Toggle all membergroups option
  

Who Can Edit Block:

• There will be a list of all membergroups to toggle from.
  
• Remember, "manage_blocks" and "admin" permission always give this right regardless.
  
• Toggle all membergroups option
  

Block Access:

• Show for this action(dropdown list of actions, or custom action name) - with toggle "reverse criteria" option.
  
• Show when inside this board(dropdown list of boards) - with toggle "reverse criteria" option.
