I have a very weird problem in that when i create a module none of the outer blocks show
up. looking at the html src it never tries to render it.

I get this same problem when i create a simple HelloWorld module.

I guess im missing something big but since im new to php-nuke some advice would be
a big help

thanks

Could you be more descriptive on the module or modules you are trying to install into PHP-Nuke?

I'm just trying to create a simple HelloWorld app.

so i have a dir under moduels "HelloWorld"

in there an index.php

the contents of index.php is simple text

HelloWorld!

Now I belive i have figured it out.

if i do an include("header.php");

and include("footer.php");

in the index everything works fine. Is this typical of module development?

Yes it is. It will help to look at another modules index.php file for reference on what variables appear to be required.

You can further control WHICH blocks appear in your module by playing with the $index variable. For example, if you add this to your module:

Code:

$index = 0;

Only the left side blocks show up, leaving a wider screen for your module to occupy.

Example

Code:

if (!eregi("modules.php", $PHP_SELF)) {
    die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}

require_once("mainfile.php");
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
get_lang($module_name);


include ("header.php");
	OpenTable();
	
	echo ("hello World");

	CloseTable();
include ("footer.php");

I was hoping someone could help with this script?
I have this script working:
http://schmoobeedrew.servemp3.com/nu...castdetail.php
But I would like to have it inside my nuke site.

I have used this other thread to help me with inserting html or text to include a html page inside a php nuke module and that worked great for text!
http://www.nukeforums.com/forums/vie...13100&forum=42

now I'm trying to do the same with this php script "scastdetail.php"
I have made a module called Now_Playing and put all nessasary files inside to make the scastdetail.php work ok. but when I activate the module it just hangs up... browser takes forever to do anything just slowly creeps along for over 5 minutes but goies no where.

I name the file index.php and made these modifications to it
<?php
// so ppl dont access it directly. optional
if (!eregi("modules.php", $PHP_SELF)) {
die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}
// end optional

require_once("mainfile.php");
$index = 1; //0 : do not show right blocks - 1:show right blocks
include("header.php");

///scastdetail.php script

include ("config.php");
include ("scastxml.php");
echo"
<html>

<head>
<title>$title</title>
</head>
<META content=$refresh http-equiv=REFRESH>
<body text=$text bgcolor=$bgrnd link=$link vlink=$vlink alink=$alink>
<font size=$hdrtext face=arial>[b]<center></center></font>
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 bgcolor=$tblhdr width=100%>
<tr>

</tr></font>
</table>
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 bgcolor=$tblhdr width=100%>
<tr>
<td width=100% bgcolor=$cell><font size=$hdrtext face=arial>[b]Currently Playing</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=100% bgcolor=$tblhdr><font size=$bdytext face=arial>$song[0]</td>
</tr>";
// Note if you do not want the last 20 songs showing just comment out this echo statement with /*c-style*/ comments
echo"<tr>
<td width=100% bgcolor=$cell><font size=$hdrtext face=arial>[b]Past 10 Mix or Trax</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=100% bgcolor=$tblhdr><font size=$bdytext face=arial>1.$song[1]
2.$song[2]
3.$song[3]
4.$song[4]
5.$song[5]
6.$song[6]
7.$song[7]
8.$song[8]
9.$song[9]
10.$song[10]</td>
</tr></font>
</table>";
// Detailed Stats
echo"

<tr>
</tr>
<tr>
</tr>
</table>

<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=100%>
<tr>

</tr>
<tr>
</tr> </font>
</table></a>";
//// end of scastdetail.php
include("footer.php");
?>

So I'm not sure what to do next as the script works outside nuke site but when I attemp to run it inside nuke, it doesn't open the new page.

thnx for any direction
