ok this is my situation

im helping a friend to create a website for a big company with big staff

i have create a simple staff directory module ..just to display name position department email
and contact number of staff

i also use publisher module by trabis to display information about each of the department
in the company like finances, ict etc

what i would like to do is to include my directory in the publisher page

what i did was to create a php query page

like

Quote:


and put it in a php custom block

include statement

and use the defacer method...
https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=327670#forumpost327670

i put this in publisher

<{$xoops_block_11.content}>

but it is not working...i see the smart variable and not the block content

am i doing this wrong...is there any easy way to do this ? please advise

i am a noob

Did the block have a proper name (see description)?

the name of block is

_department
set it to visible in publisher

i made some test by putting the smarty code in publisher template publisher_item.html... it is working the directory block is displayed in my article..

but why it is not working if i paste the smarty directly in publisher editor ?

i see the variable ...not the block

im using 2.4.4

edit-

help

if i read back the info about block anywhee...it is actually only working in template & theme

so maybe thats why posting it together with content is not working


Ok ignore the first post...$filename variable is actually from a past project

actually i did it like this in publisher_item.html template



where the 524 block is query to display directory of the finance department

so each department i made 1 block
...Thanks looking good ....
