hallo there, does anybody knows how i can get the name of a block.

I'm creating a block for a module and i want the title to be the main block title plus the title of the content its showing. so i need to do this in the block code itself. Any ideas?

Can't you assign $block['title'] in your block code?

my code is like that
Quote:
global $xoTheme, $xoopsOption, $xoopsTpl,$xoopsConfig;
include_once(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/modules/slider/class/sliders.php');

if ( file_exists(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/modules/slider/language/".$xoopsConfig['language']."/main.php") ) {
include_once (XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/modules/slider/language/".$xoopsConfig['language']."/main.php");
} else {
include_once (XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/modules/slider/language/english/main.php");
}


$xoTheme->addScript('browse.php?Frameworks/jquery/jquery.js');
$xoTheme->addScript('modules/slider/js/slider.js');
$xoTheme->addScript('modules/slider/js/jquery.easing.1.3.js');
$xoTheme->addScript('modules/slider/js/jquery.ennui.contentslider.js');
$xoTheme->addStylesheet('modules/slider/css/slider.css', array('media' => 'screen'));


$sliders = new Sliders();
$myslider = $sliders->getActiveSlider();
$xoopsTpl->assign('sliderlist',$myslider);
$xoopsTpl->assign('more',_AM_SLIDER_READMORE);
$xoopsTpl->assign('block',$block);
return true;


what i want to do is

set the title as

$block_title .= $somethingelse

$modversion['blocks'][1]['file'] = "your_module_block.php";
$modversion['blocks'][1]['name'] = "Name of Block"; 
$modversion['blocks'][1]['description'] = "Description of Block"; 
$modversion['blocks'][1]['show_func'] = "your_module_show";


in xoops_version.php ?

i've changed the block name from the system->blocks administration area.

For example i gave it the name Car of the month

but i want the block name to be

Car of the month: Pegaut 306

and the same each time the title of the car changes.

Your block don't seem to be a module block, but a custom block.

Then you have to return a $block array (see step 2) and one of the members could be $block['title'] which specifies the title.

returning the block array is not necessary. I've already tried that and block['title'] is empty. Still i would have somehow to get the block title from the db if i want to change it. Returning true works for me.

even returning the block array,
since we create the array in the function we still have to set $block['title'].

i tried to just set $block['title'] = 'something'; and see what happens but still the block has the same title, the one i set in the system->blocks admin area.

I just need to get that name and set a new block name for this specific block!! Can't this be done??!!
