Hello,

I would like to make another block, that operates exactly like a topic block, but it will be for reviews. How do I make a second topic block and rename it to Reviews or whatever. Thanks.

The topics block will always list all the available topics, so it doesn't make much sense to have a second one ...

What are your reviews? Are they single stories under a certain topic? Or are they static pages?

The simple solution would be to create a new "normal" block and just put HTML links into it, linking to the reviews. If the list changes a lot but you can identify common criteria for reviews, then you could write a PHP function that lists those and create a PHP block from it.

bye, Dirk

Well it does make sense to me to have another block, for the users to be able to seperate them from normal topics.

I would like to have a completely seperate block because they are seperate from the issues covered in the topics section. Also there are going to be far more than 1 or 2 reviews in each review section, the reason why a topic block is perfect for it. If there is no way to create another topic block then I guess I will have to include them in the existing topic block.
