Block Class

Block Class allows users to add classes to any block through the block's configuration interface. By adding a very short snippet of PHP to a theme's block.tpl.php file, classes can be added to the parent <div class="block ..."> element of a block. Hooray for more powerful block theming!

Installing the Drupal 7.x version

1. Enable the module
2. Add the PHP snippet to your theme (see below)
3. To add a class to a block, simply visit that block's configuration page at Administration > Structure > Blocks

How to add the PHP snippet (7.x-2.x, 7.x-1.x)

Here's the first line of the Garland theme's block.tpl.php prior to adding the code:

<div id="block-<?php print $block->module .'-'. $block->delta; ?>" class="clear-block block block-<?php print $block->module ?>">

And here's what the code should look like after adding the snippet:

For 7.x-2.x:

<div id="block-<?php print $block->module .'-'. $block->delta; ?>" class="clear-block block block-<?php print $block->module ?> <?php print $block->css_class; ?>">

For 7.x-1.x or lower:

<div id="block-<?php print $block->module .'-'. $block->delta; ?>" class="clear-block block block-<?php print $block->module ?> <?php print block_class($block); ?>">

IMPORTANT: Remember to separate the PHP snippet from the existing markup with a single space. If you don't add the space, your CSS classes could run together like this: block-modulecustomclass instead of block-module customclass.
