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.
Should the action be executed? Override this method to answer something different than true.
Get the the helpers that will be be automatically sent to Views as variables.
Get the whole $_GET array or a specific querystring value.
Override this method to do something right before the view is rendered.
Get the whole $_POST array or a specific posted value.
Redirect the clients to a specific URL/page (specify path(s) as argument(s) of this function).
Build a response that redirects clients to a specific URL/page (specify path(s) as argument(s) of $args).
Perform an action of this controller (if shouldRunControllerTask returns true).
Get the whole $_REQUEST array or a specific requested value.
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.
No description
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.
No description
Creates a URL that can be posted or navigated to that, when done so, will automatically run the corresponding method inside the block's controller.
Gets the generic Block object attached to this controller's instance.
On delete update the tracker.
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.

Get the values to be sent to views.
bool
shouldRunControllerTask()
Should the action be executed? Override this method to answer something different than true.
array
getHelperObjects()
Get the the helpers that will be be automatically sent to Views as variables.
Array keys are the variable names, array values are the helper instances.

For instance, you can call $this->set('variableName', $variableValue) to send the view additional sets.

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
}
```.
