Make block titles optional

[Richard Mansfield]

In some blocks, like 'blog', the title defaults to the title of the blog if you leave the title blank, but others (like text box) let you have no title just by leaving it blank (and the view editor helpfully shows "[No title]").

I think we need a "No title" checkbox for the blocks that don't already allow you to have no title by leaving the title blank. Or maybe instead, a blank title should really mean 'no title' and there should be a checkbox on some of the blocks saying stuff like "use the blog's title".

In his two plugins, Facebook Like and Tweet This ( http://mahara.org/view/view.php?id=35645 ), Gregor included the option to suppress the title. That way, no title is necessary and the line that usually separates the block title from the rest is not show.

Certain block types can already have empty titles, e.g. text, images. When in edit mode, they show up as "No title" because we need something to hold onto for moving the block or have the icons, but other blocks still default to a title.

The block titles are going to change and won't be auto-populated anymore, thus making this wishlist item redundant. The project to implement the new block types has just been confirmed and thus the wishlist item could not have been closed before then.

See https://wiki.mahara.org/wiki/Developer_Area/Specifications_in_Development/Basic_magic_block for more information on the changes to the entire block selector.
