Look in theme.php

For something like this under the Function theme footer.

Code:

    if ($index == 1)

right after it is a { then some stuff, then you will see.

Code:

	blocks(right);

right after blocks right is a closing }

You need to remove the

Code:

    if ($index == 1)

and the { right after it and } right after

Code:

	blocks(right);

Got it?

Thanks mikem, this looks interesting. I think it will probably cause problems with the sizing of some items that appear crammed in the center. I am thinking of giving it a try but I forsee possible consequences.

I tryed to work it out, but I think I need to see an example, I'll send a little pies of the script, maybey it's easyer to explain then.... I hope I'ts not to much asked. It's not the meaning that you do all the work, but I really like to learn and only need an example...

Ok. Are you still wanting to have the right blocks show on EVERY page?

If Yes, the bit of script I posted is right there in that script you posted.

See

Code:

blocks('right');

in your code?

that is what I am talking about.

Here is your code re-worked to shwo the riht blocks on every page.
Warning-Pasting code on Forums can sometiimes cause it to lose it's format.

Code:

function themefooter() { 
global $time_start, $blockpos1, $index, $bgcolor1, $bgcolor2, $bgcolor3, $bgcolor4, $sepcolor; 

//Global variable scope issue 
$blockpos1 ="R"; 

$browser = getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT"); 
echo "</TD>\n"; 
echo "<TD HEIGHT=\"100%\" background=\"themes/CyberNuke/images/mainnav_rm.gif\" WIDTH=26></TD>\n" 
."</TR><TR>\n" 
."<TD><IMG HEIGHT=19 SRC=\"themes/CyberNuke/images/mainnav_bl.gif\" WIDTH=22 alt=\"\"></TD>\n" 
."<TD HEIGHT=19 background=\"themes/CyberNuke/images/mainnav_bot.gif.gif\" WIDTH=\"100%\"></TD>\n"; 
if (ereg("Gecko", "$browser")) {echo "<spacer type=\"block\" WIDTH=\"100%\" HEIGHT=\"19\">";} 
echo "<TD><IMG HEIGHT=19 SRC=\"themes/CyberNuke/images/mainnav_br.gif\" WIDTH=26 alt=\"\"></TD>\n" 
."</TR></tbody></TABLE>\n\n"; 
echo"<TD><IMG SRC=\"themes/CyberNuke/images/pix-t.gif\" WIDTH=\"4\" HEIGHT=\"4\" alt=\"\">\n" 
."</TD>\n"; 
 
echo "<TD ALIGN=\"right\" WIDTH=\"200\">" 
.""; 
// BLOCKS DISPLAY FOR RIGHT PANE 
blocks('right'); 
 
echo "<TD ALIGN=\"right\" WIDTH=\"15\">" 
."<IMG SRC=\"themes/CyberNuke/images/pix-t.gif\" WIDTH=\"15\" HEIGHT=\"1\" alt=\"\">
"; 

echo "</TD>\n</TR>\n</TABLE>\n\n"; 
// footer add-on 
echo "
<div ALIGN=center>"; 
include ("themes/CyberNuke/marqueurs.php"); 
marqueur(); 
include("themes/CyberNuke/bottom_links.php"); 
if (ereg("MSIE", "$browser")) { 
echo "

U gebruikt Microsoft Internet Explorer.
" 
."Browser data : $browser" 
."
<A HREF=\"#top\">Terug naar boven...</a>
\n"; 
} 
if (ereg("Gecko", "$browser")) { 
echo "

U gebruikt Netscape Navigator.
" 
."Browser data : $browser"; 
} 
echo "

<div ALIGN=\"center\">\n" 
."\n" 
."</div>\n"; 
footmsg(); 
echo "</div>"; 
// end of footer add-on (footer can be placed elsewhere if block cut)

You can see the spaces where I removed code that prevents the right blocks from showing on every page OTHER than the index.

Its working. . . . . but I didn't got the clue. Mayby when I've read it more than once

I have some more themes, and I'd like to do things myself, but these themes look a little different than the one above.
Can you give me some more specific details, what I have to leave out of the script or have to change....

Code:

function themefooter()
{
 global  $index, $bgcolor1, $eXtreme_Colors;
 
 if ($index == 1)
 {

?>
</td>
<td valign="top" width="160">
<?

  blocks(right);
 }

?>

The previous theme is working fine, even the forum..... ;-)

It's simple...Last time I'm explaining this one. My hands are tired from typing this AGAIN!

Your Code:

Code:

function themefooter() 
{ 
global  $index, $bgcolor1, $eXtreme_Colors; 

if ($index == 1) 
{ 

?> 
</td> 
<td valign="top" width="160"> 
<? 

  blocks(right); 
} 

?>

Fixed Code :

Code:

function themefooter() 
{ 
global  $index, $bgcolor1, $eXtreme_Colors; 



?> 
</td> 
<td valign="top" width="160"> 
<? 

  blocks(right); 
 

?>

LOOK closely at what I removed. You have an IF statement. and then soem stuff tha is in between a { and a } if you remove the If statement, you do not need the { and } either around the variable that follows the IF statement..

I just want to thank both mikem and Nemesco, for working this out! I have learned a lot by this and I did this simple 2 line code change ( it's 2 seperate lines with PHP Master Edit!), and I love it. I don't know why PHP-Nuke is not set up with this as an option anyway. It would be nice if someone could make an Admin mod to have a dialog to do this. :!:

I should have put this in requests, but I didn't know how it would be explained any better than it is put here. Thanks.
