PHP-Nuke block

I searched around and saw there was an old block for coop links, but not a recent one so I wrote a quickie.
It is really short but I hope it is useful.

 

why do you want to block coop ads?

 

Because other wise I have to put them in the footer file on each template that I use on my site. Since I am planning adding multiple user templates in the near future I did not want to have to update each footer file each time I add a new template and then next time there is an update do it again. This way I only have to change teh minimum of files for updates.

Do you use PHPnuke or Platinum or such?

 

A php-Nuke block is a box that will display the coop ads.
You can view other blocks here.
http://phpnuke.org/modules.php?name=News&file=categories&op=newindex&catid=5

 

FYI
If you want to see this block in action go to http://www.the-party.org

It is at the bottom on the left side

 

ahhh... I see... I misunderstood it to mean "blocking the display of Coop ads".

No, I just use regular phpBB

 

Your forgiven then

 

Nice block! I like now not having to recode all templates that are affected.

However I am not sure if it is my custom template or something that the block needs.

When using this block...I cannot put it right or left because the window that shows the ads is too wide. But also when I put it to the center position...it stretches out my center column a tad bit.

I guess my question is....what edit do I need to make to the block .php file to decrease the window size that the ads show up in.

You can see what I mean by checking out the site

Thanks in advance

 

So to use this block, I just change the one line:

include ('ad_network_xxx.php');

Code (markup):

right? As long as those numbers match my ad_network_ads.txt I am OK?

 

So I'm using this block on www.ozband.net but the ads show up twice. You can see if you look at the bottomg left. At the very bottom you see this block with the ads in it. But above that the ads are being shown outside the box. How do I get rid of the mirror ads?

 

Interesting, can you attach the exact file you are using? I will see what is wrong.

PM me if you have any other questions.

 

For block-coop.php

hmmmmm, I am not sure what is wrong.

I updated my code last on Mar31, 2005
and at the end it shows

if (substr (@$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_NAME'], -6) == '.shtml') {
		ini_set ('zlib.output_compression', 0);
		echo $ad_network;
	}

Code (markup):

instead of simply

echo $ad_network;

Code (markup):

I am not sure if this is the problem or not.


When I have time I will update my code, are you using ad_network_216?

 

Why do you ask the number? I thought it made no difference. I think it's 235 or something, but I suppose we could rename it to 216...

 

Alright Jim, I think that the last time I looked at this that I had a small mental block.

Try commenting out the

echo $ad_network;

Code (markup):

in ad_network_xxx.php a the bottom and see if that solves the problem. If it does awesome, if not let me know and I will try something else

 

Thank you kind sir... She is all fixed now..

 

I am glad that I could help.....Hopefully in the future I will be ble to come up with one that doesn't require modifying the ad_networkXXX code
