hideBlock()

hideBlock() – Hides the block even if it is not "empty".

Synopsis

require_once 'HTML/Template/Sigma.php';

mixed HTML_Template_Sigma::hideBlock ( string $block )

Description

Hides the block even if it is not "empty".

Is somewhat an opposite to touchBlock().

Consider a block (a 'edit' link for example) that should be visible to registered/"special" users only, but its visibility is triggered by some little 'id' field passed in a large array into setVariable(). You can either carefully juggle your variables to prevent the block from appearing (a fragile solution) or simply call hideBlock()
