I have a game points module I am working on and it's working fine. I am trying to include the user's points in a block with php include but it's not working. I am getting the debug message listed above.

You can check out the game points module:http://www.somge.com/salc/learners/

Click the points module to see that it is working. Basically members play educational games and get points for each game played. The site is not active yet which is why it's turned off.

http://www.somge.com/salc/learners/modules/points/getuserpoints.php is the file I am trying to include in a custom block. It shows each member their points. I am trying to get that information in a block by including the file with this: include("http://www.somge.com/salc/learners/modules/points/getuserpoints.php"); in a custom block.

I know very little php and have been using the module tutorial to create this module. Any help you can give is appreciated.

thanks

try

include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/modules/points/getuserpoints.php');

Thanks for the reply Bandit.

I tried that and it didn't work. I tried double quotes, single quotes, with <?php and without, stood on my head etc. Nothing is working.

Can you suggest another way for me to show members their points. I would like it in their profile, if possible.

thanks

When creating a custom php block, do I include the <?php ?> or do I just put in the code. I have tried both ways and neither way is working.

thanks

I still don't know why the block isn't working. I think there is a bug because any php block I try to create isn't working. I notice only half the code shows up in the preview pane. The first part of the code gets cut off for some reason. This could be why the block isn't working.

Anyway I solved the problem by figuring out how to put the member's points in their profile. I would have preferred a block so they can see the points anywhere on the site but oh well.

just the code. no php tags needed.

could be the file cannot be displayed that way, no clue without looking at the actual code. But creating your own module block is quite easy though.
