I get this error when i try to include a php file in a block.

************************************************
Warning: Unknown(/modules/chat/blocks/block.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in d:\home\sharetrader\class\xoopsblock.php(146) : eval()'d code on line 1

Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/modules/chat/blocks/block.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in d:\home\sharetrader\class\xoopsblock.php(146) : eval()'d code on line 1
************************************************


if i run the php file on its own it works, but not as included?

What did you actually write for the block? I think the path is not correct. Try with XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/modules/chat/blocks/block.php

Re: including php file in block

Hi

I am trying to include a php file in a custom block.

In the (PHP) block I have:
include XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."test.php";

test.php is simply:
<?php
echo "Test successful";
?>

But there is nothing - not even an error. Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers

And if you hard code the XOOPS path in the block?

Blank page - i.e. absolutely nothing (no headers nothing)

Tried using
include("{X_SITEURL}test.php");

At least I get the headers but the Block is empty (not even the title) - sitll this is progress

The XOOPS path, not the URL!

Well I don't know why but I managed by a matter of hacking away and trying all sorts to get it to work and ended up using:

include("../../test2.php");

I have spent a day but it was worth it now

hi at all,

yes, this is functionally, becauce your include in a custom_block begins from the XOOPS_ROOT_PATH automatically.
I think, if you edit (as example your test2.php file) and include there as first the mainfile.php:
<?php
include("../../mainfile.php"); //change the ../ to your rootpath
?>
so it still work too. (Maybe the header.php and the footer.php is also required to include too.)

Watch out, if you have not a default module, this could fail on your home page.
