Blocks without titles...

Is there a way of adding a box (HTML block or PHP block) on the page of your choice without it showing a pesky title/heading above it? I'd like some things to just 'be' on the page instead of having anything shouting about what it is. I understand the blocks are identified by the language keys they are given, but can the actual block titles themselves be hidden when rendered on a page?

Here ya go:  With this mod, you can create your own blocks, and style them however you want.  I used it to make some blocks without borders/head.  http://www.boonex.com/unity/extensions/entry/PageBlock_Template_Changer

Is a line or two missing from the PDF that comes with the download instructions for the mod? It reads:

-------------------------------------------------
Around line 487, find this



around line 470 find this array code:
'Caption' => array(

'type' => 'text',
-------------------------------------------------


...there's no instruction under that first line there. Any help? Otherwise it results in an error.

You can change design boxes directly for page blocks in the database. No modification to files required.

I've been searching but can't find where I can alter the properties of design blocks - any pointers, thank you!

Change value DesignBox in sys_page_compose from 1 to 2 or 3 (cannot remember which) this gets rid of border and title so that you can style completely from html content of block. BUT be warned - you will probably have to encapsulate your HTML in a DIV

You can also create new design boxes. See the example design boxes in ./templates/base/ for more information.

Thanks DeeEmm - it's 2. It didn't really like what I was doing with it even with DIV and rendered it blank. I'll see what I can do.

You ever get this to work?

Question: Is it possible to change the design of specific blocks and not all of them?

Sometimes communicating your problem and putting it out there is enough to solve it

Yes.

I reposted instructions here because the older posts on that subject are getting lost.

Thank you Deano.

I had a feeling YOU will have the answer to that. You deliver as always.

All the best.
