Hi there,

I want to theme the login block, so I searched the user.module for the function that generates it: user_login_block().

I pasted that function under my template.php, under my theme, and renamed it to mytheme_user_login_block(), but without doing any modification, it just returns an: "array" word instead the login form block.

Any idea of what can be the problem?

Thanks in advance, Simon.

not how you theme a block according to this handbook page : http://drupal.org/node/104319

Yeah basically - you're doing it a crazy way. :)

Providing you have a block.tpl.php file and you're using the phptemplate theme engine, the DIV ID for your User login block should be #block-user-0 and all iterations thereof:

#block-user-0
#block-user-0 .content
#block-user-0 .title
#block-user-0 .style_bottom (if you want to put a bottom part on your block, maybe you do, I dunno, I quite like it!)

Whack that in your stylesheet with the definitions you want under each and you're a go. If you're using a theme without a block.tpl.php, create one and put this in it:

<div id="block-<?php print $block->module .'-'. $block->delta; ?>" class="block block-<?php print $block->module ?>">  
    <h2 class="title"> <?php print $block->subject; ?> </h2>
    <div class="content">
      <?php print $block->content; ?>
    </div>
    <div class="style_bottom">
    </div>
</div>

Edit it as you see fit, but don't go mad. It provides a universal block template for all your blocks, you can add classes in there for different bits of the block (within reason).
Enjoy.

Thank you boys,

but the problem is that I want to theme the form itself, not the block container. I need to add some classes to the form generation code, to enclose some form fields.

For what I know, this can´t be done theming the block, I´m right?

Kind regards, Simon.
