Greetings,

1. I have a zen subtheme named inceneryzen in the /drupal/sites/all/themes directory.

2. I downloaded and installed the blocktheme 7.x-1.0 module

3. I copied the /drupal/modules/block/block.tpl.php and rename it to block--blocktheme--siteheader.tpl.php

4. NOTE: I added a fix I read about in another post:
--In the blocktheme--siteheader.tpl.php module I added my style sheet name as follows:

print $block_html_id; " class=" print $classes; block-siteheader" print $attributes; >

print render($title_prefix);
if ($block->subject):

print $title_attributes; > print $block->subject

endif;
print render($title_suffix);

print $content_attributes; >
print $content

5. I create a corresponding css file named block-siteheader.css. The CSS looks like this:
#headerall {
position:absolute;
top:13px;
left:0;
width:368px;
height:92px;
background:url(/images/logo_new.png) transparent 0 0 no-repeat;
text-indent:-9999px;
}

#headerbar {
background-color:#224545;
width: 950px;
height:20px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight:bold;
font-size:12px;
text-align:right;
color:#C3DFD8;
padding:0;
}
#headerbar p, a {
padding-top: 4px;
color:#C3DFD8;
text-decoration:none;
}
#headerlogo a {
display:block;
width:368px;
height:92px;
text-indent:-9999px;
text-decoration:none;
}

6. I copied both files into these two directories:
• /drupal/sites/all/themes/incenergyzen
• /drupal/sites/all/themes/incenergyzen/css

7. The debug information from the block--blocktheme--siteheader.tpl.php seems to be working (I added the print_r($block); and I see this: stdClass Object ( [bid] => 88 [module] => block [delta] => 5 [theme] => incenergyzen [status] => 1 [weight] => 0 [region] => header [custom] => 0 [visibility] => 0 [pages] => [title] => [cache] => -1 [subject] => [last_in_region] => 1 )

8. In the BlockTheme configuration panel I created a new block theme: siteheader|Site Header.

9. I created a new block named “siteheader” and selected the Site Header theme from the Custom Theme drop-down. My block code is (NOTE: I removed explicit paths and called them mylink and myimage for this support request):

Unfortunately, none of my CSS is being applied to this block. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Thanks,
-Bonnie

I just tested this with Zen 7.x-3.x-dev and a random Zen subtheme (http://drupal.org/project/multiflex3 7.x-3.x-dev) and it works as expected.

My steps are the same as the instructions from README.txt:
1) added an entry in the Block Theme configure form: btest|Block Theme Test
2) created a template in multiflex3/templates: block--blocktheme--btest.tpl.php
3) put some random string in that template:

abcd
<div id="<?php print $block_html_id; ?>" class="<?php print $classes; ?>"<?php print $attributes; ?>>

  <?php print render($title_prefix); ?>
  <?php if ($title): ?>
    <h2<?php print $title_attributes; ?>><?php print $title; ?></h2>
  <?php endif; ?>
  <?php print render($title_suffix); ?>

  <div class="content"<?php print $content_attributes; ?>>
    <?php print $content; ?>
  </div>

</div><!-- /.block -->

3) cleared the cache
4) assigned that custom theme to a random block (Navigation)

5) the result is attached

Didn't work for me using Zen 7.x-3.1, 2011-04-26 (I guess not dev?) I followed your setup exactly and I can't see it in blocks section. Is there another place to look or tweak?

Well, what worked for me thus far is to get rid of all the other styles, after all why do I need them? So this works for now:

<div id="<?php print $block_html_id; ?>" class="nick"<?php print $attributes; ?>>
Not sure what attributes apply yet, where the default block.tpl looks like this
<div id="<?php print $block_html_id; ?>" class="<?php print $classes; ?>"<?php print $attributes; ?>>

At least it's a start for me to debug my setup, and yes, I didn't realize it, but it is not a new block, but a theme block option with a drop-down for styling ANY existing or new block. I wish there were docs out there, or maybe I missed them?
