Hello
I am currently working on a version xoops 2.4.4 with my module tab. I would like to display the tab on my block a specific spot in my theme. For this, I put the smarty <(block id = 155)> but it does not work! by cons if ever the smarty of other blocks it works!

function.block.php Does it work with my tab?

thank you in advance

That smarty plugin does not work with blocks that need to assign javascript or styles into header(using $xoTheme) so, no.

If you are using 2.4.x that you can use defacer module. Defacer has a preload that hooks in the block render system and that allows to assign any block content to a smarty variable.

Read defacer readme.txt for more information:

Tips for blocks anywhere (xoops 2.4 only)
=========
Just prefix your block title with an underscore and you will be able to use it has a smarty variable inside your theme or template
Example:
-Edit "User menu" block and rename it to "_User Menu"
-Take notice of the "bid" in the url, in this case it is '1':
modules/system/admin.php?fct=blocksadmin&op=edit&bid=1
-Usage on theme/template:
<{$xoops_block_1.title}> --> echos User Menu
<{$xoops_block_1.content}> --> echos the block content

Blocks that are assigned to smarty variable are not displayed in the blocks layout, that means that:
- the block must be set to visible
- you can enable or disable your block without need to remove the code from template or theme!
- you can change block configuration just as any other block, the only option that does not work is position, the reason is obvious!


Resume:
_Block name -> rendered into a smarty variable
Block name -> rendered into xoops block system

nice,thank you
