What file holds all the block information?

[coldthunder]

I have my site build, i do have a test site that i want to use for testing that is almost the same as what my main site is, i would like to copy the file that has the tp/block and settings information over to the test site so i dont have to go through and reconfigure the test site to match the main site. Can this be easily done with copying some files? or should i go and reconfigure test site by hand?

The test site does have its on sql databasee and has tp and my current theme already installed, just none of the config settings ihave been making and the blocks i been adding.


thanks allot

one final question.

I have set up and got my boxes straight but what controls the center box that the welcom information is in? when i look in admin. block manager there is no center block listed there. The reason i ask is that i want to add a center black that would show up after the welcome screen part in the middle. When i add it now, it the block shows up on top of it instead of on the bottom of it and i cant assign it a position value as the welcome center block is not listed anywhere in block manager that i can find.

thanks

That is not a block, it's an article.
So you have to delete the test and welcome articles and the categories for the same and then create a center block intead if thats what you want to use.

well actally i want the article ther but under neatch that article i wanted to add a center block with some links. But each time i add a center black from block admin it puts that block on top of the article and not underneath it

What happends if you set the article to be featured (first place)

[coldthunder]

to be honest, i can not find where to set the article to be featured first place

[G6Cad]

In the article listing of the Article administration.
If you look at that page you see the option of "Set as featured" When you click that on the article you want to have in first place, it will be the featured article.

yes it is featured, here is a link to my test site, you can see the center block "support our troops" and then the article welcome underneath. I want that top center block calls "support our troops" under the article not on top of it. http://thundazone.com/smftroop/index.php

or would it just be easier to turn the whoel article thing off (can it?) make 2 center blocks from block admin and then just place them that way and just put plain text in one of the block (what i was going to have in the article). But it would be nice to keep that article feature if i can just get the other block underneath it
