Why should you install this module?
Current Content Display Block displays a selected display mode of the current content item. A content item could be any type of entity, such as a node, a user, or a custom entity.
Whether the content is the fields of a node, a user, or another custom entity type, the details are normally presented in the "Main content" block. Often site architects want to place certain fields in different places on a page like a sidebar. A few options are available in core to meet this need:
- Field blocks - individual fields can be placed as blocks in a layout.
- Views block - blocks with the context of the current entity displaying any combination of fields.
This module offers a different way using the display modes of the entity. A full comparison of the different options is available in the README of the module.
Features
- Works with nodes, users and any other custom entities that display in a similar way.

- If you have selected to display authoring information on a node type then select whether it should display or not in a particular block.
