static html module

turpentyne · **static html module -** 04-14-2005, 01:58 PM

on 7.5 (recently upgraded from 6.0) I'm trying to install a static html module, then set it as my home page, and I've seen a couple of different scripts around, but they only give me a completely blank page, or 'unable to access this file'

hopefully its something simple, as I'm a bit of a newbie, and not very versed in php.

here's one that brings up a blank page, afterwards I have another

Code:

<?php 
if (!eregi("modules.php", $PHP_SELF)) { 
die ("You can't access this file directly..."); 
} 
$index = 0; // 0 : do not show right blocks - 1:show right blocks 
require_once("mainfile.php"); 
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__)); 
include("header.php"); 
$ACCEPT_FILE['thisissue.html'] = 'thisissue.html'; 

OpenTable(); 
$php_ver = phpversion(); 
$php_ver = explode(".", $php_ver); 
$phpver = "$php_ver[0]$php_ver[1]"; 
if ($phpver >= 41) { 
$page = $_GET['page']; 
} else { 
$page = $HTTP_GET_VARS['page']; 
} 
$pagename = $ACCEPT_FILE[$page]; 
if (!isSet($pagename)) $pagename = "thisissue.html"; // default file 
include("modules/This_Issue/$pagename"); 
CloseTable(); 
include("footer.php"); 
?>

Here is the one that gives me "you can't access this file directly"

Code:

if (!eregi("modules.php", $PHP_SELF)) {
  die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}
$index = 0;   // 0 : do not show right blocks - 1:show right blocks 
require_once("mainfile.php");
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
include("header.php");
$ACCEPT_FILE['thisissue.html'] = 'thisissue.html';
OpenTable();
$php_ver = phpversion();
$php_ver = explode(".", $php_ver);
$phpver = "$php_ver[0]$php_ver[1]";
if ($phpver >= 41) {
    $page = $_GET['page'];
} else {
    $page = $HTTP_GET_VARS['page'];
}
$pagename = $ACCEPT_FILE[$page];
if (!isSet($pagename)) $pagename = "modules.php?name=This_Issue&page=thisissue.html"; // default file
include("modules/This_Issue/$pagename");
CloseTable();
include("footer.php");
?>

well, I'm halfway there. I replaced this:

$PHP_SELF)) {

with this:

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {

Now my theme appears, but I still can't see the html content in the center section.. any suggestions??

Did you try the module creator?

Just tried that. When I uploaded the page it gave me the "can't access this directly" error.

I've avoided the problem, but in a backwards way. The module I have now is there, but showing no information, at all. So I created a block with the information I wanted, and got it to show in the home page along with the module that shows nothing. As far as the public is concerned, they see what they need to, but I've a hunch I'm fixing this in a cheating/ dirty sort of way, y'know?
