Parameters

config $new_config

Return Value

array|null

Returns null if not implemented or an array with the template file name and an array of the vars that the template needs that must conform to the following example: array( 'TEMPLATE_FILE' => string, 'TEMPLATE_VARS' => array(...), ) An optional third element may be added to this array: 'BLOCK_VAR_NAME'. If this is present, then its value should be a string that is used to designate the name of the loop used in the ACP template file. When this is present, an additional key named 'BLOCK_VARS' is required. This must be an array containing at least one array of variables that will be assigned during the loop in the template. An example of this is presented below: array( 'BLOCK_VAR_NAME' => string, 'BLOCK_VARS' => array( 'KEY IS UNIMPORTANT' => array(...), ), 'TEMPLATE_FILE' => string, 'TEMPLATE_VARS' => array(...), )
