I do not understand what files you are suppose to edit for the right side block to appear on the home page. I have the metalica theme. Please help.
The call to blocks appears in theme.php in your theme folder.
If you do a search for my name you'll see a bunch of posts about blocks.
, what i find out, to show the right blocks in EVERY module,
add this, to modules.php
| Code: : |
define('INDEX_FILE', true); require_once("mainfile.php"); $module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__)); get_lang($module_name); |
you need to put it after:
| Code: : |
define('MODULE_FILE', true); require_once("mainfile.php"); , which is in the beginning; |
i want you to know, that this is the original modules.php, from 8.0
i am telling you this because any other version could have new codes, or another code order, so, if you have original modules.php, everything is fine..
the theme has nothing to do with the right blocks, UNLESS the theme do not support right blocks, but most of them support them, so just edit modules.php
if this doesnt work which i doubt, you need to define the index_file as what it says, you need to make the current file the index file,
Please let me clarify. On the home page, the right blocks do not show. When I click on clan roster, I can see both left & right blocks. I will try this. Thank you.

Oh, where do I need to add this in the modules.php?

Actually Horror-Code is correct... although he should have explained it better
You do NOT add to the modules.php file if you are having an issue with the right blocks not showing up issue then you need to open your /themes/my theme/theme.php file find:
| Code: : |
| if ($index == 1) { |
Comment it out.
Then add or replace it with:
| Code: : |
| if (defined('INDEX_FILE')) { |
If you are having the issue in a particular module then navigate to modules/your module/index.php and find:
| Code: : |
| index = 1; |
Comment it out
After it add:
| Code: : |
| define('INDEX_FILE', true); |
Thank you for your kind help. I got it working. Thanks again so much.
Your welcome
what i think is, this works for theme, and if theme isnt supporting right blocks,
the thing that i found out, is only for themes that already support right blocks,,
and for the ones who didnt read that well,
in modules php, right after the comments, just add it there,
| Code: : |
| define('INDEX_FILE', true); require_once("mainfile.php"); $module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__)); get_lang($module_name); |
You do not add this code as seven said to the modules.php file. That code is used by the index files to call the mainfile.php
.
Secondly there are few if any themes available for phpnuke that don't already include the right blocks. In 6+ years of dealing with phpnuke and 1000's of themes I have dealt with I have never seen a single one.
The correct and only code changes to make the right side blocks show have already been given to you by Seven (and were created by actual phpnuke developers) who has about five or more years experience dealing with php and another 3 dealing expressly with phpnuke. So why question what she says, when you have stated you have NO experience with php or phpnuke?
The code you offer is not ment to be used in the modules.php file and in fact is not a recommended fix for anything.......
To all who read this post do NOT and I can not express this enough DO NOT use this code you could end up opening unknown security holes in your site....
This code is the core code for any module not to be used in the modules.php file but as I stated in the index file of a module.
| Code: : |
| define('INDEX_FILE', true); require_once("mainfile.php"); $module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__)); get_lang($module_name); |
I'll explain this code since the person who offered it doesn't know what it actually does....
| Code: : |
| define('INDEX_FILE', true); |
Defines the file as an index file... modules.php is not an index file.
| Code: : |
| require_once("mainfile.php"); |
calls the mainfile.php
| Code: : |
| $module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__)); |
defines the module name... modules.php is not a module... it controls the modules.
| Code: : |
| get_lang($module_name); |
Sets the language... English, Spanish, etc.
As you can plainly see there is nothing there that calls the right blocks.
So once again lets review.. there are few if any themes that don't have right side blocks... so with that said and as Seven described.. if you have no right blocks in any module
Open themes/theme_name/theme.php and find:
| Code: : |
| if ($index == 1) { |
Replace it with:
| Code: : |
| if (defined('INDEX_FILE')) { |
If you look at the theme.php file from any theme, generally in the "function themefooter() {" section you will find something that says
| Code: : |
| blocks("right"); |
This would be the code to call the right blocks....
