This may be the wrong forum to ask this question; if so, please let me know where I should be directing this question.<br><br>I am developing a theme, and would like to use the system provided 'block.tpl.php' file for most blocks. However, for menu blocks I would like to use a different .tpl.php file. I can modify the 'template_files' array in theme_preprocess_block() to include the file, and the devel_themer module then shows the file name added to the list of possible suggestions, but unless I have a file called 'block.tpl.php' in my theme directory, it ignores the file I want it to use. This is sub-optimal because if there are any security changes made to 'block.tpl.php' in future Drupal 6 versions, the changes will not propagate.<br><br>Is there any way to do one of the following?<br><br>1. in 'theme_preprocess_block' specify the path to a .tpl.php file to be used, so that I don't need to have a file named 'block.tpl.php' in my theme directory<br><br>or<br><br>2. in the 'block.tpl.php' file, somehow tell Drupal to use the one provided by the system instead?<br><br>Also, is there some place I should be looking for documentation on how to do this?
