Showing right blocks that only show for certain modules

Hey folks. Thanks in advance for any help.

Trying to wrap some html content in xoops, but I can't get my right blocks to show. The right blocks are not visible in all pages, and I assume that's why they're not showing.

Any way to get the wrapped content to show them?

<?php
include("/path/to/mainfile.php");
$xoopsOption['show_rblock'] = 1;
include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/header.php");
?>
my html here
<?php
include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/footer.php");
?>

Thanks again,
Carmine

I've never been able to get php blocks to work, but I'll give this post a bump for you.

Figured out a hack to make it work, so thought I'd post it here for others to find.

Before including header.php, just force your page to "pretend" it's a module that does show the right hand side. Like so:

<?php
include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/mainfile.php");
// hack! we pretend to be the wfsection module so the right blocks show
$moduleid = 2;
include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/header.php");
?>

my custom html...

<?php
include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/footer.php");
?>

There you are.

Interesting... Pretend to be a module. Wow! I wouldn't of thought of that in a million years.

I was wondering if replacing the <?php> and <?>

with

<php> and </php> might work. I know that in other instances within html docs this must be done.

Well now what a neat lil trick. Will this have any bad effects that anyone can think of?
