new custom block

Hi all

I need to create a new custom block to put on pages like HTML block or RSS feed block (Builders -> Page blocks)

The content of this custom block gonna be picked up by a php include() function.

I would use HTML block for that, but PHP inside a HTML block is not working.

I searched for a tutorial or manual, but didint find anything about creating custom blocks, can someone help me?

Thanks in advice!

Try searching the Forum for 'PHP Block' instead. You will find your tutorial:

Yes I should have searched for PHP Block instead

thank you very much!!!

No need to do any file edits as mentioned above

Its really quite easy. you can goto table `sys_page_compose` then insert info...leave id blank fill out the rest in Func section make sure you put PHP

you can also use my little quick file

just unzip and put it in your root and call it in browser...www.site.com/addphpblock.php this will add block to index. Once its done you have to goto admin and open and close it to set the cache

edit the file and change green to whatever page you want it on.

"INSERT INTO `sys_page_compose` (`Page`, `PageWidth`, `Desc`, `Caption`, `Column`, `Order`, `Func`, `Content`, `DesignBox`, `ColWidth`, `Visible`, `MinWidth`)
VALUES ('index', '960px', 'php code block', 'php code block', 2, 2, 'PHP', 'require_once(''join.php'');', 1, 50, 'non,memb', 0)"
