Methods
Adds an item to the view's header. This item will then be automatically printed out before the
section of the page.Adds an item to the view's footer. This item will then be automatically printed out before the section of the page.
Installs the current block's DB xml file. If a block needs to do more than this, this should be overridden.
Persist the block options.
Run when a block is added or edited. Automatically saves block data against the block's database table. If a block needs to do more than this (save to multiple tables, upload files, etc... it should override this.
Automatically run when a block is duplicated. This most likely happens when a block is edited: a block is first duplicated, and then presented to the user to make changes.
Gets the generic Block object attached to this controller's instance.
Automatically run when a block is deleted. This removes the special data from the block's specific database table. If a block needs to do more than this this method should be overridden.
No description
Gets the Area object attached to this controller's instance.
Returns the name of the block type.
Returns the width of the block type's interface when presented in page.
Returns the height of the block type's interface when presented in page.
Returns the description of the block type.
Returns HTML that will be shown when a user wants help for a given block type.
Returns whether this block type is included in all versions. Default is false - block types are typically versioned but sometimes it makes sense not to do so.
Returns whether this block type is internal to Concrete. If it's internal it's not displayed in the front end interface. Examples include the LibraryFile block.
if a the current BlockType supports inline edit or not.
if a the current BlockType supports inline add or not.
If true, container classes will not be wrapped around this block type in edit mode (if the theme in question supports a grid framework.
Returns a key/value array of strings that is used to translate items when used in javascript.

heh. probably should've gone the simpler route and named this getGrandparentID().

install(string $path)
Installs the current block's DB xml file. If a block needs to do more than this, this should be overridden.
public function install($path) {
$this->doMySpecialInstallMethod();
$this->doSecondSpecialInstallMethod();
parent::install($path);
}
```.
There are several different possible return values:
Returns FALSE if $btTable is set but no db.xml file exists.
Otherwise returns object with two properties: ->result (a boolean), and ->message (a string).
If ->result is true, the installation was successful
(although the db.xml file might only have one field declared which will cause C5 to have problems later on, so you you will want to check for that separately).
If ->result is false, the installation failed and you can check ->message for the explanation
(usually -- sometimes ->message will be blank, in which case there's either a malformed db.xml file or an "unknown database error").
See concrete/models/block_types.php::doInstallBlockType() for usage example.
render(string $view)
Renders a view in the block's folder.
public function view() { // The view() method is automatically run when a block is viewed
$this->render("other_special_view"); // don't use .php
}
```.

getNavItems($ignore_exclude_nav = false)
New and improved version of "generateNav()" function.
Use this unless you need to maintain backwards compatibility with older custom templates.
Pass in TRUE for the $ignore_exclude_nav arg if you don't want to exclude any pages (for both the "exclude_nav" and "exclude_subpages_from_nav" attribute). This is useful for breadcrumb nav menus, for example.
Historical note: this must stay a function that gets called by the view templates (as opposed to just having the view() method set the variables) because we need to maintain the generateNav() function for backwards compatibility with older custom templates... and that function unfortunately has side-effects so it cannot be called more than once per request (otherwise there will be duplicate items in the nav menu).
generateNav()
This function is used by the getNavItems() method to generate the raw "pre-processed" nav items array.
It also must exist as a separate function to preserve backwards-compatibility with older autonav templates. Warning: this function has side-effects -- if this gets called twice, items will be duplicated in the nav structure!
