Codezwiz >> Forums >> Codezwiz PHP Nuke Help >> Adding blocks in your footer

I was asked this on another site and am posting it here for whoever wants to use it.

Open the theme.php for the theme you wish to add the block into find the function themefooter after the global line you want to add the block or blocks in this example the global names may not be what you have in your theme now so just use this as referance if $db or $dbi isnt present in the global names then you will have to add it..

function themefooter() {
global $index, $user, $banners, $cookie, $prefix, $dbi, $db, $total_time,
$start_time, $admin, $nukeurl, $foot1, $foot2, $foot3, $foot4;

$maxshow = 30; // Number of downloads to display in the block.
$a = 1;
$result = $db->sql_query("select lid, title, hits from ".$prefix."_downloads_downloads order by date DESC limit 0,$maxshow");
while(list($lid, $title, $hits) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {
$title2 = ereg_replace("_", " ", "<b>$title</b>");
$show .= "$a: <a href=\"modules.php?nam e=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&lid=$lid&title=$title\">
$title2</a><br><b>$hits</b> times<br>";
$showdownloads = " <A name= \"scrollingCodedownloads\"></A><MARQUEE behavior= \"scroll\" direction= \"up\" height=\"114\" scrollamount= \"2\" scrolldelay= \"90\" onmouseover='this.stop()' onmouseout='this.start()'>
<table width=\"100%\"><tr><td>$show
</td></tr></table></marquee>";

$a++;
}

Wow, cool! I noticed you have two blocks at the bottom of the forums pages (5 Latest Members and Top 5 Posters). I imagine that is a completely different process right?

Do the blocks have to be modified into horizontal form to fit into the footer correctly?

Then of course below is the rest of your function themefooter. Now to use them in your theme you will have to add a "Call" for them in the footer of the theme and also if the footer is solid meaning it doesnt contain any tables or td cells your going to have to do some editing your going to want to create a table with 3 cells left right and center. Center you can use for your footer message and gen time or whatever you choose. then in the other cells where you decide you will add this to "Call" the block function from your theme.php..

$showdownloads

I still can't get this to work. I get an error after I enter the code, it says undefined call in footer.php.
has anyone else been able to get this to work?

Paste your theme function themefooter in here I will take a look.

BTW the site is here: [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

oh and where do you get the scrolling weblinks block?

ok here is my code in the theme.php file of my theme:

/* Footer Code - Also affects right side blocks, added $showdownloads */
300 function themefooter() {
301 global $index, $banners,$db,$dbi,$showdownloads;
302
303 /*---------start scrolling downloads code------*/
304 $maxshow = 10; // Number of downloads to display in the block.
305
306 if (eregi("block-ScrollDownloads.php",$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
307 Header("Location: index.php");
308 die();
309 }
310
311 global $prefix, $db;
312 $show = "";
313 $a = 1;
314 $result = $db->sql_query("select lid, title, hits from ".$prefix."_downloads_downloads order by hits DESC limit 0,$maxshow") ;
315 while(list($lid, $title, $hits) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {
316 $title2 = ereg_replace("_", " ", $title);
317 $show .= "$a: <a href=\"modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&lid=$lid&title=$title\">$titl e2</a><br> Downloaded $hits times<br><br>\n";
318 $a++;
319 }
320 $showdownloads = "<A name= \"scrollingCodeDownloads\"></A>\n";
321 $content .= "<MARQUEE behavior= \"scroll\" align=\"right\" direction= \"up\" height=\"220\" scrollamount= \"2\" scrolldelay= \"90\" onmouseover='this.stop()' onmouseout='this.start()'>\n";
322 $content .= "$show";
323 $content .= "</marquee>\n";
324 /*------end scrolling downloads code------------*/
325
326
327 if ($index == 1) {
328 echo "</td><td>| | </td><td valign=\"top\">";
329 blocks(right);
330 echo "</td>";
