I'm working on a new theme that I would like to have dynamically expanding blocks with. Currently, the only blocks that I can control (that I know of) using Smarty are the center and right blocks, using:




I tried using similar statements for left, center-left, and center-right block using the following but it did not work:





After looking at header.php, I see where this could be hacked in (not really sure on the proper syntax though); however, I'd really hate to have to hack a core file for a theme. Somehow I don't think many people would want to use the theme.

Is there an equivalent statement that I can use in theme.html to produce the desired results? Maybe something wraped in a php statement?



Thanks in advance,

has always worked for me. It should work with $xoops_crblocks and $xoops_clblocks too.

Hope this helps ;)

@ JMorris Yes, I agree this a needed feature.

@ Pod Thanks for the tip.

@ Pod

BINGO! That did the trick. Thank you!

Now I have a theme that dynamically expands the block widths depending on whether or not the other blocks are enabled. In this theme, left and right columns/blocks become topleft and topright blocks and are displayed before the content.



The center column blocks are retained, but exist below the content and are renamed to bottomleft, bottomcenter, and bottomright.


You just made my day!
