Ways to assign blocks in Drupal 7

In drupal 7, Is there other ways to assign blocks to regions without doing it in admin/structure/block or in panels? I have this client and i can't seem to find where they are actually assigning the blocks to region. They are not using panels, and the there are no assigned blocks in admin/structure/block

Thanks.

Solution

  • One easy way is to use Context module : https://www.drupal.org/project/context

    Your description seems to be a use case of this module ;)

    With it, you will see nothing assigned in admin/structure/block. just a new menu "context" in which you will find some context, wich conditions and reaction. the logic could be something like

    "I am on the /toto/tutu page, so block 1 is in region R1 and block 2 is in region R2".
