Hi all,

I would like to add a link/button that work as a shortcut from homepage for the custom block. The shortcut edit button will only appear when we log in.

I have add the code in the system_block_dummy.html with



but i could't find the php file with function related to the template.

Or a better solution. Thanks in advance.

(Not sure what you are looking for or trying to accomplish.)

For every custom block that's created & displayed in a page, to edit the block we need to go through Admin Menu --> System --> Blocks --> custom block --> the custom block--> edit

If we have a shortcut such as a link/button to go directly to blocks edit form it would be a plus.

At the moment i have to add a link(the one in the previous post) plus the block id manually for every custom block for a shortcut.

Hope that's clear.

I think you need to add the link to the block array in function buildBlock in /class/themeblocks.php and then you can use it in your theme.

try this code in your left/right or center blocks (inside the theme)
<{if $xoops_isadmin}>&nbsp;
<a href="<{xoAppUrl /modules/system/admin.php?fct=blocksadmin&op=edit&bid=}><{$block.id}>" title="Edit this Block" >
<img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>block/block-edit.png" alt="Edit this Block">a>&nbsp;
<a href="<{xoAppUrl /modules/system/admin.php?fct=blocksadmin&op=delete&bid=}><{$block.id}>" title="Delete this Block" >
<img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>block/block-delete.png" alt="Delete this Block">a>&nbsp;
<a href="<{xoAppUrl /modules/system/admin.php?fct=blocksadmin}>" title="Add New Block" >
<img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>block/block-add.png" alt="Add New Block">a><{/if}>

and dont forget to add small icons to the functions edit, add, delete in a folder : themes/yourtheme/block
the road of success is always under construction

You don't need to do the change in the PHP file. Besides it still needs a change in the theme files.
So, Marianne has the perfect way to go.
