Hi there,

I have gone through the views themeing tutoerial (I use panel + view(block view)), but couldn't find the the way to customize and theme the block title.

Can someone share me some infor if possible?

I tried that views-table-.tpl.php, copying from the views wizard output(list base), but seems it doesn't work.

Thanks,
ILayer.

The block will have a unique id (block-{module}-{delta}), a class common to all blocks from a given module (block-{module}) and a class common to all blocks (block). Using the firebug extension to firefox makes these easy to find.]
Your block title html will vary depending on the theme but is oftern an h2 tag. So that is enough to theme the block title.

Thanks nevets for the help.

I tried the HTML template file (block.tpl.php), but it seems this file doesn't invovle the block render.

I checked the source code of the page, I saw below,
===========================================

...div class="panel-col-first">
    div>
       div class='view view-myblogs-block'><div class='view-content view-content-myblogs-block'>
         table class="show-table">
            thead><tr><th class="">myblogs</th> </tr></thead>
            tbody>
               tr class="odd"><td class="view-field-node_title">...
            </tbody></table>
...

=================================
I didn't see the item of block title has been rendered.

I use view to create one block view (named "myblogs-block"), and put it with others together, in panels layout.

I read this source code, see the DIV hierarchy is panel-col-first (panel generated) --> view --> view-myblogs-block -->...., no place to hold the title item.

What did I wrong with it? no clue so far.

Thanks,
ilayer

You could add css using 'view-content-myblogs-block' and 'th', something like 

.view-content-myblogs-block th {
  color: red;
}

You willl of course want to add your own styling.

If you need different/additional html you would need to theme the view.

One more question, regarding theming the view, for example, if I want to add some extra items to the block title area, where should I put the HTML code?

theme function phptemplate_views-view-table(...) seems only focus on the table content, not the block title area.

Thanks a lot.

But I am not an expert at it. Look at the views documentation (I also go to the download page to find the link) There is a section on theming.
