The Z-Blocks extension is a perfect tool for those who want to make an advertising banner or other applicable information displayed at any place of any page. With widgets support, every non-technical administrator of your website can add new, recently compared, recently viewed product lists to the z-block content and insert links to categories or CMS pages.
With the Z-Blocks Magento module you can make:
- support service phone number shown in working hours only
- curious facts displayed randomly
- info about upcoming events appear at custom categories or on product pages only
- national holidays congratulations displayed at different stores/languages
- etc.
The Z-Blocks extension allows selecting the predefined block position or create a custom one. Moreover, you can specify the categories for the block to be displayed at. In the 2.2.4 version of Z-Blocks, the logic of these two parameters interrelation has been changed. Now if the Custom Position is specified for the block, the categories selection is not applied.
The following minor bugs have been fixed in the Z-Blocks Magento extension v.2.2.4:
- Incorrect work when category has apostrophe in ID
- Blocks displayed incorrectly on multistep checkout page in Enterprise Edition

An ability to add widgets and variables provides Magento 1.4* store owners with ample opportunity of adding any dynamic content on store pages. Since 2.2.3 version, the Z-Blocks extension supports this native Magento feature as well.
Now you can use a large list of variables and get certain data inserted automatically within your z-blocks – general contact name and address, sales representative contact name and address, store contact telephone, etc. Thus the information can be easily edited once for all blocks instead of having to update each z-block.
Widgets support makes work with the Z-Blocks extension and your store easier. Now every non-technical administrator of your website can add new, recently compared, recently viewed product lists to the block content and insert links to categories or CMS pages.
In the 2.2.3 version, the following bug has been fixed as well:

The new minor version of the Z-Blocks extension we have released today is now compatible with Magento Enterprise Edition 1.9. Besides, the WYSIWYG editor is added to backend for Magento Community Edition 1.4* what allows you to create rich HTML content without extra efforts and extensive knowledge.
One more new feature implemented will save your time and greatly ease your work. Since version 2.2.2 you can define classes for Z-Blocks’ HTML element in the aw_zblocks.css file and specify there the name of a class for an element or its attributes.
You can find more information about this aheadWorks extension on the Z-Blocks page.
Today we are glad to announce the release of Z-Blocks v.2.2. The primary feature added in the new version and making the extension more flexible is the Market Segmentation Suite extension integration.
This new feature makes blocks 100% customizable – you can specify not only where and when z-blocks will appear, but whom they will be shown to.
A great variety of MSS conditions allows you to execute your marketing and merchandising strategies with pinpoint accuracy. Make the blocks displayed to target audience basing on any criterea you set up: number of products added to cart, total sum of the products bought, customers’ information, etc.
Create the proper MSS rule and the block will be displayed:
- on the Shopping Cart page when customer adds several products to cart

- in the content top of the page on customer’s birthday

- on the Category page when customer has already bought a certain product

You can even specify a combination of conditions what makes blocks displaying even more targeted and personalized.
The following bugs have been fixed in the latest version of Z-Blocks as well:
- Incorrect message in admin section after block deleting
- Incorrect number of displayed records when several blocks have no content items
