I do not understand "link back to the previous topic".  Maybe this is a translation difficulty.

this is the code " block in the block " used

Code: [Select]

$columns = 1;
$block_ids = array(40 ,216);

$block_data = array();
foreach ($block_ids as $block)
{
   $block_data[$block] = current(getBlockInfo(false, $block, false, false));
   $block_data[$block]['style'] = sportal_parse_style('explode', $block_data[$block]['style'], true);
}

echo '
<table style="width: 195px;">
   <tr>';

$counter = 0;
foreach ($block_data as $data)
{
   if ($counter != 0 && $counter % $columns == 0)
   {
      echo '
   </tr>
   <tr>';
   }

   echo '
      <td style="width: ', ceil((100 / $columns)), '%; vertical-align: top;">
         ', template_block($data), '
      </td>';

   $counter++;
}

echo '
   </tr>
</table>';
Where id 40 is a block recent post- topic

and the id 216 is a block html

Code: [Select]

<hr>
You can do everything in a single block?
Thank you Angelina

the result is this

You just want to get rid of the boxes around the two blocks?
Or you want to do the one-line HTML of block 216 without having to create a block for it?

Here is what I think is easiest, to use the work you have already done:
 
For the two blocks, choose "no title" and "no body".  This will get rid of the title bar and also the block background.
 
You will still have three blocks, but it will look like only one block.
 
If you wish a "previous topic" heading for the HTML block, you can put it into the HTML of the block.
