Block and SuperCache

NPDS has an extended block system that allows to display :

If you need to include code you must respect this syntax :

Block CSS

class-title#name of one class in your CSS file.
class-content#name of one class in your CSS file.
These lines allow you to associate a CSS (title and content) for EACH BLOCK!

CSS Block Specific

To have the specific css, you must:


CSS example on a particular block, here the left block ID 2:

#LB_2 .LB_title {
color: #FF0000;
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;
font-size: 1.25em;
font-weight: bold;
height: 21px;
text-align: center;
line-height: 21px;
}
#LB_2 .LB_contain ul {
list-style: none;
width: 150px;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
#LB_2 .LB_contain li {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#LB_2 .LB_contain li a {
min-height: 1.5em;
height: auto !important;
height: 1.5em;
line-height: 1.5em;
margin: 1px 0px 1px 0px;
padding: 0px 5px 0px 5px;
border-bottom: solid 1px #C8C8C8;
border-left: solid 10px #427FBC;
color: #646464;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 1em;
}
#LB_2 .LB_contain li a:hover {
border-left: solid 10px #cccccc;
background: #f0f0f0;
font-weight: bold;
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
}

Block URI:

uri#uris_separated_by_a_space to display the block only on the URIs mentioned.
The retention time should be zero in this case.
Example: uri#index.php user.php forum.php static.php?op=statik.txt&npds=1
The uri# tag allows the use of the wildcard *: for example: viewforum.php?forum=* or viewtopic.php?topic=*&forum=10
This syntax is the only one supported!

Hidden Block

hidden#... to not display the block theme but load the content.
This allows you to use the block system to 'load' javascripts, PHP files, CSS files...
Example: hidden#<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/yui/build/yui/yui-min.js"></script>
This syntax is the only one supported!
