MRBS Blocks

I see that MRBS does not create any of it's own blocks

Does anyone know how I can create a block to show on the main page with that days date as the default?

Copying the URL into a block won't do it because the URL contains information pointing to the active day on the screen

for example:
the URL for today is
modules/mrbs/day.php?year=2013&month=05&day=30&area=1&room=3
the URL for tomorrow is
modules/mrbs/day.php?year=2013&month=05&day=31&area=1&room=3

So if I put
modules/mrbs/day.php?year=2013&month=05&day=30&area=1&room=3

in a block, it will always show the events for 30 May, 2013 regardless of the active day month or year

Create a block, allow PHP, and then you can use:

$today = getdate();
echo "modules/mrbs/day.php?year={$today['year']}&month={$today['mon']}&day={$today['mday']}&area=1&room=3";
?>

Doesn't work

The block doesn't show on the main page

Debug gives me

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in C:\xampp\htdocs\class\xoopsblock.php(157) : eval()'d code on line 1

Sorry chefry...

Just eliminate the "" in the last line. These aren't needed for a PHP block

This was just to show you how to get the url you want. Now you have the address of the page you want so you should be able to just display this in an iframe. Something like:

$today = getdate(); 
$mylink =  XOOPS_URL . "/modules/mrbs/day.php?year={$today['year']}&month={$today['mon']}&day={$today['mday']}&area=1&room=3";
echo "{$mylink}' frameborder='0' />";


You will have to set the iframe parameters like you want (height, width, etc)...
