[cBB Blockgets 1.0.3] Personal block (empty_block.php ?)

Hello,

Is it possible to let us the possibility to add a template file within the Personal block (empty_block ?) ?

I mean, it could be so great to put something like :

Code: Select all

<!-- INCLUDE my_custom_template_file.html -->

We could obtain something similar with frame_block but it's a little more difficult.


Thanks

This is not possible with empty block. The include param cant include in php files.
you can create your custom block.

Is easy. An example, changing "empty_block" to "myempty_addon"

1. Copy blockgets/block/empty_block.php to blockgets/block/myempty_addon.php
2. Open myempty_addon.php and find:

Code: Select all

class empty_block

3. Replace with

Code: Select all

class myempty_addon

4. Find:

Code: Select all

$this->tpl_name = 'empty_block';

5. Replace with:

Code: Select all

$this->tpl_name = 'myempty_addon';

6. Copy styles/{your style}/template/blockgets/block/empty_block.html to styles/{your style}/template/blockgets/block/myempty_addon.html and include in it the "INCLUDE" tag you want.
7. Install the new block as a normal block

Wow, it works fine except for one thing... If I don't write something in the content field of the block (from the ACP), the block doesn't appear.

It's not a problem since I can hide what I don't want to show (with a CSS class for example), but perhaps you would like to know it


Thanks !

In the block, find and delete

Code: Select all

if(!$this->content)
{
    return false;
}

It works perfect now

I didn't know that it was so "simple" to duplicate an existing block !
