The top of this theme shows two empty cells on the left and the right.

Does anyone know how to insert a block into the empty cells?

or at least remove the words "Empty Cell"?

TIA!

hi'

You have to edit theme.html, header part

  
<table cellspacing="0" class="main" align="center"> 
  <tr> 
    <td  id="headerbarleft">EMPTY CELLtd> 
    <td id="headerbarcenter"><a href="<{xoAppUrl /}>"><img src="<{xoImgUrl img/logo.jpg}>" alt="" border="0" />a>td> 
    <td id="headerbarright">EMPTY CELLtd> 
  tr> 
  <tr> 
    <td colspan="3"> 
            <table cellspacing="0" id="topMenu" > 
              <tr> 
                <td><a href="<{xoAppUrl /}>">homea>td> 
                <td><a href="<{xoAppUrl /modules/news}>">newsa>td> 
                <td><a href="<{xoAppUrl /modules/article}>">articlesa>td> 
                <td><a href="<{xoAppUrl /modules/newbb}>">foruma>td> 
                <td><a href="<{xoAppUrl /modules/extgallery}>">gallerya>td> 
                <td><a href="<{xoAppUrl /modules/extcal}>">eventsa>td> 
                <td><a href="<{xoAppUrl /modules/formulaire}>">contacta>td> 
              tr> 
            table> 
    td> 
  tr> 
  <tr> 
    <td colspan="3" id="userSection"><{$smarty.now|date_format:"%A, %B %e, %Y"}> | <{if $xoops_isuser}>  Hello <a href="<{xoAppUrl /user.php}>"><{$xoops_uname}>a> |   
        <a href="<{xoAppUrl /user.php?op=logout}>">logouta>  
       <{else}> <a href="<{xoAppUrl /user.php}>">Logina>  
       <{/if}>    td> 
  tr> 
table>

Like this (not tested)

  
<table cellspacing="0" class="main" align="center"> 
  <tr> 
 
    <td id="headerbarcenter"><a href="<{xoAppUrl /}>"><img src="<{xoImgUrl img/logo.jpg}>" alt="" border="0" />a>td> 
 
  tr> 
  <tr> 
    <td> 
            <table cellspacing="0" id="topMenu" > 
              <tr> 
                <td><a href="<{xoAppUrl /}>">homea>td> 
                <td><a href="<{xoAppUrl /modules/news}>">newsa>td> 
                <td><a href="<{xoAppUrl /modules/article}>">articlesa>td> 
                <td><a href="<{xoAppUrl /modules/newbb}>">foruma>td> 
                <td><a href="<{xoAppUrl /modules/extgallery}>">gallerya>td> 
                <td><a href="<{xoAppUrl /modules/extcal}>">eventsa>td> 
                <td><a href="<{xoAppUrl /modules/formulaire}>">contacta>td> 
              tr> 
            table> 
    td> 
  tr> 
  <tr> 
    <td id="userSection"><{$smarty.now|date_format:"%A, %B %e, %Y"}> | <{if $xoops_isuser}>  Hello <a href="<{xoAppUrl /user.php}>"><{$xoops_uname}>a> |   
        <a href="<{xoAppUrl /user.php?op=logout}>">logouta>  
       <{else}> <a href="<{xoAppUrl /user.php}>">Logina>  
       <{/if}>    td> 
  tr> 
table>

Yes, only for static content.

If it was a morphogenesis theme, with a little trick, I believe it would be possible to put 2 blocs.

You could use Boox module to make false blocks (= content handled with a form in back office)

I tried to modify Exnews theme using the code listed in the threads. It did not remove the empty cells text. Has anyone managed to get the empty cells text removed? I made the modifications as indicated below:

<{$xoops_sitename}> - <{$xoops_pagetitle}>

<{$xoops_module_header}>
