    Create a new course.
    Add multiple HTML blocks with titles and content. Note that there is no config for specifying CSS classes.
    Inspect each of the block's CSS class values in their outer divs (should be something like "block_html block")
    Go to Admin -> Plugins -> Blocks -> HTML, and enable "Allow additional CSS classes"
    Go back to course and in each block add some values to the "Additional CSS classes" fields and save.
    Inspect each of the block's CSS class values again and the classes specified in the previous step should be appended to the original classes.
    Go to Admin -> Plugins -> Blocks -> HTML, and disable "Allow additional CSS classes"
    Inspect each of the block's CSS class values in their outer divs (additional configured classes should no longer be added)
    Each block's settings form should no longer have the "Additional CSS classes" field.

Description

MDL-34899 introduced a new setting for HTML block instances allowing them to set custom additional CSS classes. This could be confusing to administrators so I have created a site-wide setting to enable/disable their use (and defaulted them to be off).

When the setting is disabled, the form setting ceases to appear and any previously set values are no longer honoured (however they are saved in the database and will be honoured again if the setting is re-enabled).

Hi Aaron, thanks for providing this patch.

Now that you have added settings to the HTML block, could you override the method block_html::has_config() so that it returns true and shows a Settings link in the "Manage blocks" page.

Push for integration whenever you like. Cheers!
