I've been fighting with the fiblack3d theme for a while now and I'm about to give up.

I've used it once before and never had a problem, but I'm moving a site and with the new host I couldn't get it to run at all at first (I'd change the default theme to fiblack3d and everything would be blank).

I changed the PHP version I was using from 4.3.10 to 5.0.3 and that seemed to help (I can see the theme now), but I still can't see the content for most of the blocks...

With any other theme I put on it seems fine, but with fiblack3d the modules, survey, login, all the blocks show up but have nothing in them.

Any ideas?

No ideas? I really like this theme and would like to use it.

Are you sure everything is in its right place and activated, wheres your forums ? & or are they activated ?

If you really really what this working, msn me

Just wanted to thank Marty for his help, we couldn't get it to work but at least I confirmed that I'm not losing it

I think it's something with PHP and my host provider. I'll have to dig into the theme.php file as I think the place where it renders the contents of the block isn't executing properly to try and find out what is wrong with the php install.

Alright, I think I have it working. I'll post what I changed here.

I started looking at the php code for the theme and figuring out where things were rendered. In the theme.php there's a function themesidebox($title, $content) that seems to handle putting together the blocks (html, css etc).

$content seems to be in some cases a file name to the actual block php file and then the function opens it and incorporates it. But in my case for whatever reason the $content already contained the correct content (haven't figured out the logic in the main.php yet), but somehow even though $content contained HTML the file_exists method is still returning true, going through the process of loading a file and changing the $content to be the contents of a non-existent file.

No idea why the file_exists doesn't work properly in this function on my server...

So what I did is basically comment out that part that checks for a file name and it works fine.

Bizarre, but works for now.

Im trying to use the theme and Im getting the same exact problem...I tried modifying that function and commenting out portions but I cant seem to get it to work...can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me exactly what you did to fix it....




THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what my function looks like in the theme.php

Code:

function themesidebox($title, $content) { /*if (@file_exists($content)) { $fp = fopen ($content, "r"); print filesize($content); $content = fread($fp, filesize($content)); fclose ($fp); $content = "?>$content<?"; $content = eval($content); } else if (eregi("^http", $content)) { $fp = fopen ($content, "r"); $content = fread($fp, 65535); fclose ($fp); }*/ $tmpl_file = "themes/fiblack3d/blocks.html"; $thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file)); $thefile = addslashes($thefile); $thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";"; eval($thefile); print $r_file; }

that worked!!!
