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

@ ghia as always you are very helpfull & thanks. Will try to change in that php file first so no changes required in the theme. If not sucessful will use mariane's way.

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.
