Hello,
1 problem but may be 2 solutions.

All my customize blocks dont used title.
it's easy to not put title in the field title in the /modules/system/admin.php?fct=blocksadmin&op=add page.
But when you used lot of customize block,
it's hard to manage these blocks in the /modules/system/admin.php?fct=blocksadmin page cause blocks get blank title...
I should edit the bloc to know the block.

I think about 2 solutions :

1) I put title in the title field and in theme.tpl i should add condition for customize blocks.

i have seen these exemples :
//  Examples:
//  <{block id=1 display="title"}>   displays just the block title
//  <{block id=1}>                   displays just the block content
//  <{block id=7 display="none"}>    does not display nothing but executes the block, this can go for online block or to trigger some cron block
//  <{block id=600 groups="0|1" cache=20}>  display block just for this 2 groups and sets a cache of 20 seconds
//  <{block id=600 options="100|100|s_poweredby.gif|0"}> displays block with diferent options


In database, i see 1 field named block_type where (i suppose) :
S for System
M for Module
C for Customize

So how can add code to test that it's a customize bloc ?

<{if $block.block_type!="C"}><h4><{$block.title}></h4><{/if}>
 <{
$block.content}>


I have not yet tested this code

2 - Solution 2
Hummm,
we need to add a new fied for blocks named label for example
and we can see the label field + the title field in the blocks managment (/modules/system/admin.php?fct=blocksadmin)
So the label field is just here to manage blocks without title

Please, let me go in the good way !

ok,
$block.block_type is unknown by the system.

Ok i tried to find another solution.

All my customize title blocs start with "@ - "

Then in tpl file, I modified the code

<{if $block.title}><h4><{$block.title}></h4><{/if}>

by

<{if ($block.title|truncate:4:"":true)!="@ - "}><h4><{$block.title}></h4><{/if}>
And it works !!!

Title customize bloc examples :
- "My personnal title bloc" => The title is displayed
- "@ - My personnal title bloc" => The title is not displayed

It's a fine code, no ?

Re: Customize blocs with no title in the managment page

This is a common problem, I know I have this issue. Perhaps, it would be best if it is handled outside of the theme in core?

I would suggest we treat a block title starting with "// " (slash, slash, space) as a comment, and suppress the title when the block is rendered.

This would allow switching themes without resulting in a bunch of "@ - " block titles

The "//" is a comment indicator in many languages (such as PHP, C, JAVA, JavaScript to name a few) so it could be semantically familiar for some.

What do you think?

For sure,
if we can centralize the need rather than directing it towards the theme, it is more effective.

The best answer for me (but i know the response) it's to add a label field, independant from the title, just here to manage block in the management page, but we need to add a field in the database.

In fact, these 2 proposals are good for me.

Another solution
but close to the "label" solution.

Add a "yes/no" new field named "Title enabled"...

Went with the minimal change approach with comment style slash-slash-space starting the title. Simple, but effective.
