Here\'s my feature request.
We have the ability already to hide blocks or allow access to only registered users.
I\'d like the option to leave the block title and have a message saying \'login to view this block\' or something to that effect.
you can always tell people the benefit of registering and such, but its a lot easier to SEE what you\'re missing than read about it.
i\'ve found that once i restrict permissions on a block that was previously available to anonymous users, they just think that the block is gone. no matter how many updates i write, or all the numerous places on my site that encourages registration to get the full effect.
on many blocks this is easily donw manually. thanks to whomever did the \'refer a friend\' block, i believe it was gxblock. so for now, i just played around with his code to get what i was looking for.
anyone else agree?
