I couldn't find a post about the use of a "title" versus a "subject" in a custom block when building a module in Drupal 6. Running across this funny quirk in code and figured I'd share.
I have a module that defines a custom (navigation) block and was trying to change the title. I found that when I tried editing the title through the admin UI (
admin > build > blocks > custom block name) nothing changed. That is the default title of the block as defined in the module was still there.
Here's how the block was defined in code:
// start navigation_block()
function super_events_navigation_block($op = 'list', $delta = 0, $edit = array()) {
...
$blocks = array();
switch($op){
case 'list':
$block[0] = array(
'info' => t('Events Archive Navigation'),
'region' => 'right',
'status' => 1,
'weight' => 0,
'cache' => BLOCK_NO_CACHE,
);
return $block;
case 'view':
switch($delta) {
case '0':
$block['title'] = t('Event Archives');
$block['content'] = theme('super_events_navigation_events');
break;
}
return $block;
}
} // end navigation_block()
Note the following line:
$block['title'] = t('Event Archives');
Apparently this works for displaying a title for a custom block, however it cannot be modified. Change this line so instead of "title" as the key you have "subject" as follows:
$block['subject'] = t('Event Archives');
Now the block's (display) title is changeable through the admin user interface.
