Combining Block Templates

Hi All,
Different article modules (e.g. Publisher or SmartSection) offer block templates like random item, recent item, Latest Upload, In the Spotlight etc. Similarly other modules have their own blocks. Is there a way I can combine different blocks and make a single block. I checked in the Edit Template option, but code looks like same in different files, only html file name is different. For example, random item has this code

<{$block.content}>






Even I have another hack of the similar module install, code is same there, so how can I combine?

you have maybe two choices
1 is to use the hack block anywhere then combine the blocks you want(not sure)
2 is to hack the module and make an extra block but this need some modifications on the Php scale not on HTML only
Some people like what you do,

Re: Combining Block Templates

I dont think hacking a module or a block is the right way. As far as I have seen, template files are in HTML, but codes are nearly same, the problem is, if I want to merge these html codes, how it will be differentiated.

you cant merge two blocks by simply combining there html codes you must also some modifications on php side.
