Cloning a Block

how can i clone a block?

Im using NEW BB and have one of the blocks for it showing parts 1 2 and 4 of the message boards
i want to have a second block on my mainpage showing part 3 of the message boards

obviously because differing information is posted to that section so

open xoops_version.php file for module..

search for

$modversion['blocks'][1] = array(
        'file' => "newbb_block.php",
        'name' => _MI_NEWBB_BLOCK_TOPIC_POST,
        'description' => "Shows recent replied topics",
        'show_func' => "b_newbb_show",
        'options' => "time|5|360|0|1|0",
        'edit_func' => "b_newbb_edit",
        'template' => 'newbb_block.html');


make copy then paste under it.

you can change "name" and "description"..

last update the module ---> "Modules Administration"

Re: Cloning a Block

actually i looked at and tried that one however the code it speaks of searching for does not exist in my copy of xoop_version.php

it says to look for this:

$modversion['blocks'][4]['file'] = "news_top.php";
$modversion['blocks'][4]['name'] = _MI_NEWS_BNAME5;
$modversion['blocks'][4]['description'] = "Shows recent articles";
$modversion['blocks'][4]['show_func'] = "b_news_top_show";
$modversion['blocks'][4]['edit_func'] = "b_news_top_edit";
$modversion['blocks'][4]['options'] = "published|10|25|0|0|0|0||1||||||";
$modversion['blocks'][4]['template'] = 'news_block_top.html'; // news_block_recent.html



below the BLOCKS comment

its not there
