Very bare bones

Sadly this extension comes short in functionality but it could have been good with a small change.
It only has 6 fixed positions where you can place blocks instead of widgets that can go on a lot of places. So if you wanted your custom block to go somewhere specific it is not really possible.
What we wanted was widget position functionality with rule conditions.
Hopefully they will improve this module.

Comment from Aheadworks:
Johan, thank you for your feedback.
Currently, Custom Static Blocks has 6 fixed positions that can be used on Home, Product and Category pages as well as at Shopping Cart and Checkout.
However, we are planning to improve an upcoming version of the extension by adding the widget positions. Hope you will like it.

Great!

We are using that extension in Magento1 as well. Really great.
Fantastic functions, all working really good. We can recommend that extension. :)

Flexible and convenient

There was a numebr of static blocks in our store and after an installation we did not have to recreate them again, which saved a lot of time for us.
Schedule feature is also handy, shows block on time. we use it to show our online status and for other promotional stuff.
Good extension. We had no problems with it both on magento 2.1.0 and after update to 2.1.2

No problem at all

Contrary to Z-Blocks for Magento 1, this extension utilizes native Magento static blocks, so it is not a problem if you already have a bunch of them. You can even place the same native CMS block into different Custom Static Blocks and have them displayed on different pages in different positions at a different time.
From the beginning, I was disappointed that the "custom position" option is missing, but I quickly realized that all my needs can be covered with a blocks settings, so it's not a problem at all.
Conclusion: It's very flexible and solid.

I want to add SKU in product conditions. However, the extension will only allow me to add Category or Attribute Set. How can I add product SKUs?

asked by Guest User on Jan 24, 2018

To make SKU or name, or any other product attribute visible in conditions its "Use for Promo Rule Conditions" option should be enabled in:
admin -> Stores -> Attributes -> Product -> required attribute -> Storefront Properties

I've got some cms blocks on the pages already. Can I use them with the extension?

asked by Guest on Jun 13, 2016

Absolutely, you can still use them both the way they are inserted into the pages now or inside the Custom Static Blocks.

answer by aheadWorks (Admin) on Jun 13, 2016

During the purchase I have to enter our url. Does this extension only work on 1 installation? Because we have a development environment and a production environment.

asked by Richard van den Bogaard on Sep 28, 2016

Our EULA allows using the extensions on a single production and as many dev or staging sites as you need without a need of purchasing an extra license.

answer by Artem Kuznetsov (Admin) on Sep 28, 2016

Does it support multi-store?

asked by Guest User on Feb 26, 2018

Yes, it does. It is possible to configure the extension separately for different websites.

answer by Aheadworks (Admin) on Feb 26, 2018

What is aheadworks policy on supporting its modules? Specifically if a security vulnerability is found will aheadworks create a patch?

asked by Conor on Jul 26, 2019

Our extensions come with included support period and we are able to provide technical assistance when the support is active.
As for security vulnerabilities and bugs, we are trying our best to fix them free of charge regardless of the support period status.

This extension for Magento 2 supports Saudi riyal currency and Arabic Language?

asked by brstdev on Apr 26, 2017

If your currency and language is natively supported by Magento 2, the extension will also support it.
However, to work with RTL most likely some style adjustments will be required and you will need to translate some options the same way as you did with your Magento.

answer by Aheadworks (Admin) on May 1, 2017

Does the extension support full page caching?

asked by Guest on Jul 20, 2017

Since full page cache is a native Magento 2 feature, all our extensions for this platform support it.

answer by Aheadworks (Admin) on Aug 16, 2017

I run Magento 1.X. Will my currently installed extensions from aheadWorks work in Magento 2?

asked by Guest on Jun 2, 2016

Due to a significant difference between Magento 1 and Magento 2 branches, the extensions for M1 will not work in M2.
However, the owners of the extensions by Aheadworks for Magento 1 can get 25% discount on purchase the same extensions by AW for M2

answer by aheadWorks (Admin) on Jun 2, 2016

Which URL do I specify on checkout if I've got only a development store at the moment?

asked by Guest on Aug 12, 2016

You need to enter a final address of the site when it will go live.

If the domain name is still under consideration at the moment of purchase, you can enter an address of your dev environment. In this case, don't forget to contact us when the final domain name has been registered: our support team will change it by your request.

answer by aheadWorks (Admin) on Aug 12, 2016

I run Magento 2 on AWS with ELB (Elastic Load Balancers) do I need a license per EC2 instance? They are all behind the same domain.

asked by Cosmo on May 17, 2017

Such setup is considered to be a single Magento environment, so you need only one license.
