Steven Jones · 1 min readOne for the small but handy category this. The standard "more" link the views module adds to it's blocks has no place on a modern accessible website, you really need a more verbose link in there. One solution has always been to add a bit of footer or header text into the block, but it's a little tedious - and clients always find views hard to edit.
This simple solution will turn the block title into a link to the view, it goes into your template.php _phptemplate_variables function
<code class="language-php hljs">
if ($hook=='block'){
$block = $vars['block'];
if ($block->module == 'views'){
$view = views_get_view($block->delta);
if ($view->page && $view->url && $block->subject){
$link = l($block->subject,$view->url,array(),null,null,false,true);
$vars['block']->subject = $link;
}
}
}
</code>[EDIT] - as per comments below, the above is Drupal 5.x only - the principle could be applied in 6.x using a preprocess hook (either in your template.php or in a simple module)
