Act on block cache ID (cid) parts before the cid is generated.

This hook allows you to add, remove or modify the custom keys used to generate a block cache ID (by default, these keys are set to the block module and delta). These keys will be combined with the standard ones provided by drupal_render_cid_parts() to generate the final block cache ID.

To change the cache granularity used by drupal_render_cid_parts(), this hook cannot be used; instead, set the 'cache' key in the block's definition in hook_block_info().

@params $cid_parts An array of elements used to build the cid.

Parameters

$block: The block object being acted on.
