Topic: Blocks in Blocks: Unread Posts and New Replies

[Divecall]

Okay, i was starting:

in PortalBlocks.php i create a new function:

Code: [Select]

function sp_unread($parameters, $id, $return_parameters = false)
{
 
  global $context, $settings, $scripturl, $txt, $db_prefix, $user_info, $modSettings, $user_profile, $smcFunc;   
echo '
                           
                           <li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies"></a></li>';
}
then i call the function here (PHP-Block)

Code: [Select]

$blocks = array(
   array(
      'label' => 'Recent Posts',
      'type' => 'sp_recent',
      'parameters' => array('display' => 1),
   ),
   array(
      'label' => 'Recent Topics',
      'type' => 'sp_recent',
      'parameters' => array('type' => 1, 'display' => 1),
   ),
   array(
      'label' => 'Top Posters',
      'type' => 'sp_topPoster',
      'parameters' => array(),
   ),
   array(
      'label' => 'Calendar',
      'type' => 'sp_calendar',
      'parameters' => array(),
   ),
    array(
      'label' => 'Unread',
      'type' => 'sp_unread',
      'parameters' => array(),
   ),
);

global $txt;

$button_list = array();
foreach ($blocks as $id => $block)
{
   $txt['sp_bib_label_' . $id] = $block['label'];

   $button_list[] = array(
      'text' => 'sp_bib_label_' . $id,
      'image' => '',
      'lang' => true,
      'url' => '#sp_bib_' . $id . '" id="sp_bib_button_' . $id . '" onclick="sp_bib_change(' . $id . '); return false;',
   );
}

$button_list[0]['active'] = true;

echo '
<div style="overflow: auto;">
   ', template_button_strip($button_list), '
</div>';

foreach ($blocks as $id => $block)
{
   echo '
<div id="sp_bib_', $id, '"', $id != 0 ? ' style="display: none;"' : '', '>';

   $block['type']($block['parameters'], 0);

   echo '
</div>';
}

echo '
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[
   function sp_bib_change(id)
   {
      for (var i = 0; i < ', count($blocks), '; i++)
      {
         document.getElementById(\'sp_bib_\' + i).style.display = i == id ? \'\' : \'none\';
         document.getElementById(\'sp_bib_button_\' + i).className = \'button_strip_\' + i + (i == id ? \' active\' : \'\');
      }
   }
// ]]></script>';
[/quote]

But shows nothing when i click on the button. Can somebody help me with the code please ?

Here's your problem:

Code: [Select]

array(
      'label' => 'Unread',
      'type' => 'sp_unread',
      'parameters' => array(),
   ),

sp_unread is not a valid function.

...for this reason, i was trying to create this function in "portalblocks.php" !

Any other solutions for the problem
"Updated Topices" & "Recent Unread Topis" in this Block-in-Block-code ?

And about this hoovering-effect ?

You will need to do this in 3 steps, I think.
 
1) Create a custom block for "show unread"
2) Create a custom block for "show new replies"
3) Then, finally, do the blocks-in-blocks step.
 
 
You can see in index.php that ?action=unread maps to Recent.php --- function UnreadTopics.
You could create a custom php block with some code based on UnreadTopics
It is not necessary to put this in PortalBlocks.php.  In fact, I recommend against it, since you would lose your work with the next upgrade...
