Topic: Blog Block

[Shadow Queen]

I just install a blog mod on the forum. The mod name is Adk Blog.

SimplePortal have a block call create a blog block. And I did. And the block is saying I don't have any blog mod install on the forum to use that block.

How can I fix this issue?

I'm not sure if SimplePortal supports that blog.

You could make a custom PHP block that fetches content from that blog though, if you link me to the mod page I might be able to prepare something for you

The following code is supplied on the ADK blogs own topic.

You will need a php block.

Code: [Select]

<?php

$limit = 10;

Shadow Queen,
 
Brack1 is correct.  SimplePortal does not support ADK blog.  So it does not know any blog mod is installed. Using a custom php block is the way to do this.
 
Does this help?

[Shadow Queen]

Yes, That does help me out lot with this block.   

I do thank you Brack1 for the code I needed
