Content Block 'Custom Template'... How-to?
Permalink
Hi, I need to create a 'Custom Template' that will change the background color and styles of the content within it. Essentially what i'd do is wrap a div round the content called .coloured_box and then assign styles with the CSS that say give this this colour, padding, change the font colour etc...
But i can't find a simple tutorial to tell me how to do it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Thanks for that, I had seen that but am a bit perplexed when it gets to editing the view.php as I have a very limited knowledge of PHP, was hoping for a simpler solution. Thanks again.
You can also click the block and select "Design" off the list to apply a style without using a custom template.
In the past, I would have always done a custom template instead of using Design, since it was easier to apply pre-made styles that way, but in Concrete 5.4 they introduced saved styles, which might make it just as easy (or easier) to set a CSS class using the Design window, then save it and reuse it elsewhere.

Ace, ta.. when I get concrete working again i'll be trying this nice and simple solution. Thanks again, just what I was looking for.
you can read this tutorial:http://www.codeblog.ch/2009/03/concrete5-templates/... and you'll probably be able to create a content block template too!
You basically start by making a copy of view.php (concrete/block/<your-block>/view.php) here /blocks/<your-block>/templates/<template-name>.php)
It's a bit ugly with the content block since it doesn't follow mvc as much as it could but it still works..
