Description

It would be great to be able to add blocks to either side of the Category pages, especially now that they can have arbitrary HTML. Many people use them us sub-departments of one sort or another and the users would appreciate information tailored to that department.

This is confusing in 1.9.x versions because as an administrator you can add and edit blocks on the category page, because it is calling admin_externalpage_setup() and admin_externalpage_print_header(), which do contain block details.

However when you edit and save these they do not appear to students and other users. This would definitely be useful if this could be the case.
