XOOPS FAQ - Hacks and modifying code - How can I insert variable parts in a custom block title? I would like the title of a custom block to depend on menu options selected in a left block. How can I do that ? Is it possible to hide the title of a custom block?

This can be done by using only smarty (no hacking): This example shows how to make links of the blocktitle depending on the contents of the <{$block.title}> variable.

 <div class="blockTitle"> 
  <{if $block.title =="Recent logs"}>  
      <a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/log/"><{$block.title}>a> 
  <{elseif $block.title =="Recent posts"}> 
      <a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/newbb/"><{$block.title}>a> 
  <{elseif $block.title =="Recent comments" && $xoops_isadmin}> 
      <a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/system/admin.php?module=0&status=0&limit=100&fct=comments&selsubmit=Go%21"><{$block.title}>a> 
  <{else}> 
        <{$block.title}> 
  <{/if}> 
div> 
<div class="blockContent"> 
  <{$block.content}> 
div>

If you want the blocktitles to depend on the selected menu option use a smarty variable that only applies to the specific page the user navigated to. Example:

 <{if $varibalename == "1" && $block.title =="Recent logs"}> put some html here  <{else}> <{$block.title}> <{/if}>

If needed, create the variable yourself. This will require some hacking. Example: insert this in index.php of a module where you want to change te blocktitle when te user navigates to this page.

$xoopsTpl->assign('varibalename', '1');
