Smarty if show l,cl,c,cr,r block statements

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:

<{if $xoops_showcblock == 1}>

<{if $xoops_showrblock == 1}>


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

<{if $xoops_showlblock == 1}>

<{if $xoops_showclblock == 1}>

<{if $xoops_showcrblock == 1}>


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?

<{php}>equivalent php if statement here<{php}>


Thanks in advance,

James

<{if $xoops_lblocks}>
has always worked for me. It should work with $xoops_crblocks and $xoops_clblocks too.

@ 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.

<tr>
        <{if !empty($xoops_lblocks)}>
            <td class="topleft" <{if !empty($xoops_rblocks)}>colspan="1"<{else}>colspan="2"<{/if}>>
                    <!-- Start left blocks loop -->
                    <{foreach item=block from=$xoops_lblocks}>
                        <div class="blockTitle"><{$block.title}></div>
                        <div class="blockContent"><{$block.content}></div>
                    <{/foreach}>
                     <!-- End left blocks loop -->
          </td>
          <{/if}>
        <{if !empty($xoops_rblocks)}>
          <td class="topright" <{if !empty($xoops_lblocks)}>colspan="1"<{else}>colspan="2"<{/if}>>
          <!-- Start right blocks loop -->
<{foreach item=block from=$xoops_rblocks}>
            <div class="blockTitle"><{$block.title}></div>
            <div class="blockContent"><{$block.content}></div>
<{/foreach}>
            <!-- End right blocks loop -->
          </td>
          <{/if}>
        </tr>


The center column blocks are retained, but exist below the content and are renamed to bottomleft, bottomcenter, and bottomright.
<tr>
<{if !empty($xoops_clblocks)}>
    <td class="bottomleft"><!-- Start center-left blocks loop -->
<{foreach item=block from=$xoops_clblocks}>
      <div class="blockTitle"><{$block.title}></div>
      <div class="blockContent"><{$block.content}></div>
<{/foreach}>
      <!-- End center-left blocks loop -->
    </td>
    <{/if}>
<{if !empty($xoops_ccblocks)}>
    <td class="bottomcenter"><!-- Start center-center blocks loop -->
<{foreach item=block from=$xoops_ccblocks}>
      <div class="blockTitle"><{$block.title}></div>
      <div class="blockContent"><{$block.content}></div>
<{/foreach}>
      <!-- End center-center blocks loop -->
    </td>
    <{/if}>
<{if !empty($xoops_crblocks)}>
    <td class="bottomright">
    <!-- Start center-right blocks loop -->
<{foreach item=block from=$xoops_crblocks}>
      <div class="blockTitle"><{$block.title}></div>
      <div class="blockContent"><{$block.content}></div>
<{/foreach}>
      <!-- End center-right blocks loop -->
    </td>
    <{/if}>
  </tr>


You just made my day!
