ok,
heres what i need help with. im trying to make each block on my php nuke site have a different look. I have php-nuke 7.7 and i have 8 blocks activated on my site so i already know ill need to make 8 block.html files in my themes folder, one for each block. But i dont know what else ill need to do after that. heres some of my theme.php file for my theme


//************************************** Different Blocks *****************************************//

//if 0, use blocks.htm, if 1, use blocks-right.htm, if 2, use blocks-left.htm
//left blocks values
    global $swapleftright;

   if ($leftblockstemp == "2"){
   $swapleftright = "2"; // if 2, use right blocks template
   }
   if ($leftblockstemp == "1"){
   $swapleftright = "1"; // if 1, use left blocks template
   }
   if ($leftblockstemp == "0"){ // use default
   $swapleftright = "0";
   }
   if ($forumleftblocks == 1){   //hide or display left blocks on forums
         if (($name=='Forums') OR ($name=='Private_Messages') OR ($name=='Members_List')) { // remove left blocks for these modules //
      }
       else {
      blocks(left);
      }
   }
   else {
      blocks(left);
   }


   //right blocks values
   if ($rightblockstemp == "2"){
   $swapleftright = "2"; // if 2, use right blocks template
   }
   if ($rightblockstemp == "1"){
   $swapleftright = "1"; // if 1, use left blocks template
   }
   if ($rightblockstemp == "0"){ // use default
   $swapleftright = "0";
   }




//if 0, use blocks.htm, if 1, use blocks-right.htm, if 2, use blocks-left.htm
if ($swapleftright=="1") {
   if (file_exists("themes/WOW/blocks-right.htm")){
    $tmpl_file = "themes/WOW/blocks-right.htm";
   }
   else{
    $tmpl_file = "themes/WOW/blocks.htm";
   }
}
elseif ($swapleftright=="2") {
   if (file_exists("themes/WOW/blocks-left.htm")){
    $tmpl_file = "themes/WOW/blocks-left.htm";
   }
   else{
    $tmpl_file = "themes/WOW/blocks.htm";
   }
}
else {
    $tmpl_file = "themes/WOW/blocks.htm";
}

is this actually possible? i know that the center blocks can have a different look for the ones on the side but can all blocks be made to look different?

Im sure it is possible but not sure how to go about doing it. I found a addon to php nuke that will allow this to be done called Auto Theme 1.7, but i didnt want to buy it without knowing its limits so i used the free version called AutoTheme AT-Lite .8 and its a great addon for php nuke but i wish there were a way for this exact same thing to be done with php nuke without having to use this. Because this addon forces me to start my entire theme over which really takes some time -'_'- (from scratch). This addon is great though other than me having to start over its mostly html scripting which is easy enough. If you or anyone else would like to know more information about this addon please just private message me and ill get back with you, or just visit the makers site by clicking [ Register or login to view links on this board.] . Hopefully those of you who download this addon from his downloads page can use his works to understand better on how to do this with plain php nuke, I would still like to know because im lazy and hate starting over. Also the addon mentioned in this reply also has a PostNuke version, CPG-Nuke version, and a few more.
