Hello everyone

Ive been noticing that php nuke has forums and when you open the module for those forums you don't have the right side blocks anymore.. if this is the case then i would like to add a link at the top that says home and make the left blocks disappear. I don't know exactly if there is a general file that will change all module setup, or if there is a file for each module that you can change what blocks show and which ones don't.. im sure foyleman can give me some hep bcuz heknows alot of coding with php and i don't know as much as him. Im not a noob at this tho:). heres my site.. click forums while you read this and you will understand http://www.adam.62m.net/nuke

i edited it bcuz the link didn't work :)
still don't work please just copy and paste it :)

I will bet the reason for this is because they know the page would be too wide. It looks like the forums are set to a specific width.

There should be something in your theme pages that tells the system not to use the right side blocks when the forums are loaded. It's been a little over year since I looked at the code so I don't really remember what it is that you need to look for.

The only example code I have is froma website that uses autothemes. If you send me your theme (the folder and contents.. I don't need any images) then I will look to see if I can find the code that basically says, "if mod == Forums then don't show right blocks".

that would be nice of you foyleman but ill try to look at it myself 1st to save you some time im not greedy

:( i can't figure it out but i hope you can.. and anyone who thinks they can take this theme ur wrong bcuz i included no images!! heheehee lol ... heres linky http://www.adam.62m.net/downloads/theme.zip

hmm.. tough one with just this much info.

I think the problem is here:

function themefooter() {
     global $index, $foot1, $banners, $foot2, $foot3, $foot4;
/************************************************************/
/* banners are set with openbox function on the footer, if  */
/* you like to have it on the header you can do that as well*/
/************************************************************/

    if ($index == 1) {
	$tmpl_file = "themes/XDuty/left_center.html";
	$thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));
	$thefile = addslashes($thefile);
	$thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";
	eval($thefile);
	print $r_file;
	blocks(right);
    }

This is part of your theme.php file starting line 159. I think that the Forums module is setup so that index != 1. This means that you get no right column. I don't know where this is set. That's the problem.

It's possible that you could solve it by changing the lines like so:

function themefooter() {
     global $index, $foot1, $banners, $foot2, $foot3, $foot4, $name;
/************************************************************/
/* banners are set with openbox function on the footer, if  */
/* you like to have it on the header you can do that as well*/
/************************************************************/

    if ($index == 1 AND name != 'Forums') {
	$tmpl_file = "themes/XDuty/left_center.html";
	$thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));
	$thefile = addslashes($thefile);
	$thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";
	eval($thefile);
	print $r_file;
	blocks(right);
    }

Note that I changed two lines. Line 160 and line 166... those would be these two lines:

     global $index, $foot1, $banners, $foot2, $foot3, $foot4, $name;
    if ($index == 1 AND name != 'Forums') {

I hope it works for ya.

Sorry for all those html line breaks in the second two CODE boxes. Those shouldn't be there. Looks like I will have to work onthe CODE bbcode again when I get the chance.

lol it doesn't work .. now i have nuthin but a white page lol... well thx for tryin i guess ill have to deal with it lol.


does this

    if ($index == 1) {
	$tmpl_file = "themes/XDuty/left_center.html";
	$thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));
	$thefile = addslashes($thefile);
	$thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";
	eval($thefile);
	print $r_file;
	blocks(right);
    }

the blocks(right); meaning to tell it NOT to show them?
if so wouldn't this work?

    if ($index == 1) {
	$tmpl_file = "themes/XDuty/left_center.html";
	$thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));
	$thefile = addslashes($thefile);
	$thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";
	eval($thefile);
	print $r_file;
	blocks(right);
        blocks(left);
    }

started on line 133 this code will get you no left blocks.. hopefully
this will be my first phpnuke coding if this works

echo "";
$tmpl_file = "themes/XDuty/header.html";
$thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));
$thefile = addslashes($thefile);
$thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";
eval($thefile);
print $r_file;
if ($name=='Forums') {
}
else {
blocks(left);
}
$tmpl_file = "themes/XDuty/left_center.html";
$thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));
$thefile = addslashes($thefile);
$thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";
eval($thefile);
print $r_file;

The stuff in bold was changed from blocks(left);


then find global $user, $banners, $sitename, $slogan, $cookie, $prefix and make it

global $user, $banners, $sitename, $slogan, $cookie, $prefix, $name;
