Post subject: CMS - How To Create New HTML Block To Add In Your CMS

Introduction

With the CMS system you can add each kind of block in every page of your Icy Phoenix board. If, for example, you have a particular block that you must put in a lot of personal page (like a footer or sponsor), is very useful to create a custom block in a block file, because you can edit .tpl file only one time and upload it: all your pages will then get the changes!

Instructions

Create yoursite/blocks/blocks_imp_YOURBLOCK.php
Code: [Hide]
Code: [Show]

31. $template->assign_vars(array(
32. )
33. );
34. }
35. }
37. imp_YOURBLOCK_func();
39. ?>
Create yoursite/templates/xxx/blocks/YOURBLOCK_block.tpl and put in it your personal HTML code.
P.S.: replace YOURBLOCK with your personal name! That's all, good work!

Thanks hpl, this tutorial is useful as well as the other you have created

.

When you have some free time, can you also show how to include some text in a lang file and then how to show it in this block?

Thank you very much.

Ok, I tried in many ways but I didn't manage to see my variable recalled in the template

I am creating a block for my java chat. I am not using the simple html in CMS because I want the login of the chat to recall the username.

Here are my files:

root/blocks/blocks_imp_kopechat.php

Code: [Hide] [Select]

if ( !defined('IN_PHPBB') )

{

	die('Hacking attempt');

}

if(!function_exists(imp_kopechat_func))

{

	function imp_kopechat_func()

	{

		global $userdata, $template, $board_config, $lang, $db, $phpEx;

		$template->assign_vars(array(

			'CHAT_USERNAME' => $username

			)

		);

	}

}

imp_kopechat_func();

?>

and here's the template file:

root/templates/TEMPLATE/blocks/kopechat_block.tpl

Code: [Hide] [Select]

...java applet html code...

<param name="name" value="{CHAT_USERNAME}">

...java applet html code...

But it doesn't work. I tried with an echo, to see what happens and it seems to be an empty variable... the error must be in the .php file. I think it is just a stupid thing, it's just that I don't know phpBB enough

How do I recall the plain username of a user? (avoiding the colorizing function).

Thanks for your help.

FIND

Code: [Hide] [Select]

        $template->assign_vars(array(

            'CHAT_USERNAME' => $username

            )

        );

REPLACE WITH

Code: [Hide] [Select]

        $template->assign_vars(array(

            'CHAT_USERNAME' => $userdata['username']

            )

        );
