Hi
This is how to add a custom block

Let's say that XXX is the module you want to add a block to.

1. Go to modules/XXX/templates/blocks and create a myblock.html with the following content:

<{$block.mycontent}>

go to modules/XXX/blocks and add a myblock.php with the following content:

function myblock_show($options)
{
$block = array();
$block['mycontent'] = 'This is my content';
return $block;
}

function myblock_edit($options)
{
return "Here I could write my own block editor";
}
?>

3. Add the following entry to modules/XXX/xoops_version.php

$modversion['blocks'][] = array(
'file' => "myblock.php",
'show_func' => "myblock_show",
'edit_func' =>"myblock_edit",
'options' => '',
'name' => 'Hello Block!',
'description' => 'This jenny from the block',
'template' => 'myblock.html');

Have fun!

greetings

Wait a sec there.. For what version do the above instructions apply?

As far as I know you can create a custom block from XOOPS block admin interface and select "PHP Script" as content type. That's what I did, but it doesn't work so far. It shows nothing.

I am using XOOPS 2.2.4 and I need to implement text-link-ads ASAP.

OK, I'm trying with the custom block as said by birdseed.

The problem is that it's not just some text or html that I need to insert here. It's the whole text-link-ads code which I've put in a separate file textlinkads.php.

Now I just want to have the result of execution of that file be displayed as the content of this block.

$block['mycontent'] = 'I need the result of textlinkads.php here!';

I've tried this:

$block['mycontent'] = include('textlinkads.php');

but that's apparently incorrect and I'm no php guru. At least it should give you an idea of what I'd like to achieve. I know there's a way and some of you know it.

Alright people, I've solved this, in great part thanks to birdseeds instructions above, but with little modifications that suit this specific case (text-link-ads block).

I replaced "mycontent" and "myblock" occurences above with "textlinkads" and instead of this:

$block['mycontent'] = 'I need the result of textlinkads.php here!';


we naturally have this:

$block['textlinkads'] = file_get_contents(XOOPS_URL '/textlinkads.php');


To hopefully make things easier for others who want to implement text-link-ads.com code in their XOOPS site, I've created a package which includes all files already created/modified except textlinkads.php which you'll have to create with the code you got from text-link-ads.com. Read the "README" file for steps to install.

Here is it: http://www.libervis.com/docs/textlinkads_xoops_block.tar.gz
