This module allows you to add any existing block as a header, footer, or field within your Drupal views. It provides a simple way to integrate blocks directly into the content and layout of your views.
This module exposes all available blocks as a views area or field. This way you can add any block inside a field, footer or header in your view.
Blocks that are generated by views can not be selected, these blocks can not be inserted into views.
