Topic: Block position forum page

[newsman]

Hi all, have a question.

I have a block that I want to position on the forum between categories. (NOT header/footer, left right top bottom)

This is what I want:

FORUM PAGE: (url="http://www.myforum.com/forum/index.php?action=forum")

Categorie 1 General
--board
--board

Categorie 2 Help
--board
--board

I want a block positioned HERE

Categorie 3 Pictures
--board
--board
--board

Categorie 4 Something
--board
--board

what is the best way of doing this ?

Okay I already tried the following (unsuccessful)

Between the categories there is a divider. This divider is controlled by the SMF BoardIndex.template.php at aprox line 227

I added an extra divider with an IF statment so I can control the position of this divider and I added an image file so I can see if it works.

Now it looks like this like this:

Code: [Select]

if($category['id'] == "5")
{
echo '
<tbody class="divider">
<tr>
<td colspan="4">
<img src="http://www.mysite.com/myimage.png";
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>';
}


This loop puts my image after category 5 and before category 6, just like i want it. The image looks great and i can control the position of the image with the category[id] in the first line.

Now I will have too replace the image with a block. I was thinking of using the <block in block> solution for this.

It should look something like this (replaced image with php code from block in block):

Code: [Select]

if($category['id'] == "5")
{
echo '
<tbody class="divider">
<tr>
<td colspan="4">
$block = current(getBlockInfo(false, 24, false, false));
$block['style'] = sportal_parse_style('explode', $block['style'], true);
parameters.template_block($block);
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>';
}


The problem is that this gives a PHP error and I can't fix that. Some , or ; on the wrong place ?

I just need the custom php of the "block in block" to echo out correctly

            $block = current(getBlockInfo(false, 24, false, false));
            $block['style'] = sportal_parse_style('explode', $block['style'], true);
            parameters.template_block($block);

Is there some PHP guru that can help me ?

Actually we have the topic solved button at the very bottom, which you can use to mark the topics as solved. I believe only topic starters and moderators can do that here though.
