Views No Results: Show Block Instead? I have a view that is set up to report breaking news from a "breaking news" text field. But this field is often empty, and in the no results behaviour, we would like to show one of our special offer blocks instead.

I can see an option for "Entity:Rendered Entity" in no results behaviour, but this is only nodes or users, I cant see a way to display a pre existing block?
There is a module that exposes blocks to the view header/footer and no results. It's called the Views Block Area.


  This module exposes all available blocks as a views area. This way you
  can add any block inside a footer or header from your view.
  
  Blocks that are generated by views, can't be selected. These blocks
  can be inserted by views areas.


This is also only for Drupal 7
