Description
I use Blocktheme alongside block-class module to create multiple styles for the same block structure, for example -
<div id="block-<?php print $block->module .'-'. $block->delta; ?>" class="block block-<?php print $block->module ?> <?php print $blocktheme; ?>-<?php print block_class($block); ?>">
<div class="tl">
<div class="tr">
<div class="bl">
<div class="br">
<div class="middle">
<?php if ($block->subject): ?>
<h2><?php print $block->subject ?></h2>
<?php endif;?>
<div class="content">
<?php print $block->content ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>This way I can define blocktheme-border.tpl.php and apply other class names for it (like "gray-round" or "white-blue-header" etc.) to use in style.css.
It would be a nice feature to be able to have this feature embedded in Blocktheme.
My idea for implementing it is to use something like the Drupal tpl hierarchy -
Define several theme names that precede with the same name in Blocktheme Admin:
border|Template for round borders
border-blue|Blue border
border-gray|Gray border
border-none|no borderThe module will look for blocktheme-border-[subtheme].tpl, If the file does not exist Blocktheme will fall back to blocktheme-border.tpl, but $blocktheme variable will print border-[subtheme].
