Hi ,

I have installed your info block and must admit its a nice addition

I do howeve have a few questions on how to alter it a little

Firstly when you click on the "your forum posts" it of course take you to the forum , my problem is i dont use my forum but do have a arcade installed , is it possible to have the link changed to "my arcade" and link to their ?

Secondly , on a similar note , i have a personals installed and i modified it to a better profile so is there a way for me to alter that so it links to the personal's profile

Many thanks for you time Smile

Yes I should imagine that should be quite easy to do.
You would need to look at the way the existng links are built and then modify the variables accordingly. If the links need to go to another module, for example a 'Profiles' module then you would need to build the relevant sql look up.

In that case you may have to get someone to customise the code for your needs which, of course may not be free.
I do not and never have used those mods you described so I'm not even going to be able to give you any rough examples, sorry.

so does it matter what the mod is , i presumed that the block just linked to that page .

This is the line i think needs changing for the forum to games ..

Code:

$content .= '<a href="modules.php?name=Forums&file=search&search_id=egosearch" style="text-decoration: none" title="View Your Forum Posts"><img src="images/info/your_posts.png" alt="" style="border: 0px;"> Your Forum Posts</a> ';

I think this is the line that when logged in sends you to the nuke profile page ..

Code:

And i think this is the line that sends you to the nuke profile when you click on a name ....

Code:

<img src="images/info/member_new.png" alt=""> <a href="modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&username='.$row['username'].'" title="View Profile: '.$row['username'].'">'.$row['username'].'</a>

Any help is appreciated from anyone Smile

You are on the right track, the first and third links are what you will want to change. The second one is actually for registration.

Perhaps if you can show how your games links are built or a link to your site, it might be useful.

It depends where you game.php file is located which is why I asked for clarification.
You could change

Code:

$content .= '<a href="modules.php?name=Forums&file=search&search_id=egosearch" style="text-decoration: none" title="View Your Forum Posts"><img src="images/info/your_posts.png" alt="" style="border: 0px;"> Your Forum Posts</a> ';

to

Code:

$content .= '<a href="game.php" style="text-decoration: none" title="Arcade"><img src="images/info/your_posts.png" alt="" style="border: 0px;"> Your Arcade</a> ';

*UPDATE*
So it appears my godaddy account is still undergoing updates and is still "pending" which means that my changes may not be getting updated....this may be the cause...

Sorry....another newb question...

I downloaded and uploaded this, however, when I go to block admin to create a new block using this file....it is not in the dropdown list....is this a problem with the dropdown only displaying a certain number of items...or have I done something wrong?>?

Thanks!

You probably installed it in the wrong location or directory. Make sure you upload it to your *nuke root/blocks directory, and don't rename the file.

It was because I was applying some global upgrades to the webserver....all the changes I made were not recognized until the process was complete....

It is working now (kinda) Smile
