This module allows you to turn one chosen content type into blocks. It's really simple, without any bells and whistles, just one click configuration. Works with Entity translation out of the box. It's very handy if you want to attach fields to your blocks because in Drupal 7 blocks are not fieldable entities. With this module you can add image fields to your blocks without a problem.

Configuration

After enabling, visit module's configuration page at /admin/config/content/simple_nodeblock and select a content type that you want to turn into blocks. Click save and you're ready to go. From now on, every node of this content type that you create, will be available as block. One node equals one block. You can then manage these blocks the same way as any other block on your site.

Related modules

This module is very similar to Nodeblock but a lot simpler. If you need more fancy features, use Nodeblock.

Why replicate existing module?

I needed something really simple with entity translation support that I could use to create user editable carousel banners for a custom theme. It worked so well that I used this module in several other projects and now I'm sharing it with you.
