When I download the respective file there are three files in the zip. Two zips: (one for default theme example and one for the code hacks) and one other file xoops2.0.13.2.multiblock.patch. What is this file? What if anything am I suppose to do with it?

Anyone know? Please help. I was using this for my previously installed XOOPS 2.2.4 version and it was great. I have since chosen to downgrade back to 2.0.13.2 and would like to have this very valuable and usefull capability back.

P.S. I hope this or something similar is going to be in the future versions.

Re: Xoops 2.0.13.2 hack to add centre blocks above and below content block.

Just my 2p input to all of this - much of this based on how Joomla (seems to work).

I favour "blocks" in a theme to be called anything. You can then set a series of defaults that can be translated into the standard left, centre, rigth whatever, or alternatively force these block to be present in each theme.

Where the radio buttons now appear in the admin panels, these should be replaced with a drop down list to select available locations from.

Different types of blocks could be present at each location - under control of either the theme, HTML, or CSS. For example we could have a centre_titled block, a centre_no_title, centre_blue_background, etc...

One nice thing that Joomla also supports in Themes is that different themes can be applied to different pages. While the whole paradigm of how Joomla works vs how XOOPS works is different, it would be nice to assign different themes to different modules. For example, I'd like my front page to be nice two column layout, my main pages to be left(menu)-centre-right(context menu), and my forum to be single column. I know this is possible to do currently by choosing what shows or not, but this method adds the capability to really refine the design.

I am encouraged to see that there are large changes in the theme engine coming with the next upgrades - I'd just like to see them appear sooner!

In fact, the more I try to do things in Joomla, the more drawn back into XOOPS I am
Don't follow me, I'm lost too!

I completely agree with you on this one. The absence of a drop down listbox (as implemented in XOOPS 2.3.x) is the only thing stopping me from modifying this patch to enable themes to self register their blocks.

A patch file is for use by Diff tools. For your purpose it is safe to ignore and you should overwrite the files with the ones in the archive. Please read the complete thread but this thread in particular.

Good luck!

I was having some problems with a number 1 showing up on my pages at the top left corner after downloading and installing this hack. It would only show up if I selected a down_block to display.

I think I finally found the bugger causing the problem but am not sure if it will affect anything else.
In the multiblock header.php near the bottom was this coding:

case XOOPS_CENTERBLOCKDOWN_CENTER:
if (!isset($show_cblock_down)) {
$xoopsTpl->assign('xoops_showcdblock', 1);
$show_cblock_down = 1; echo $show_cblock_down;
}

I removed the echo $show_cblock_down;colored in red above.

Making it:
case XOOPS_CENTERBLOCKDOWN_CENTER:
if (!isset($show_cblock_down)) {
$xoopsTpl->assign('xoops_showcdblock', 1);
$show_cblock_down = 1;

It seems to be working just fine now. If someone could have a look though and if they know please let me know if it was okay to remove this echo from the Hack's header.php.

Yeap i have the solutions for you and everyone else.
Who wants to see the extra blocks in the admin groups page...

Go to...
<{XOOPS_ROOT}>/modules/system/admin/groups/groupsform.php

Beware: make a backup off your files first.
If this is going wrong please don't blame me...

Edit the groupsform.php file with you favorite editor.
And folow the steps below:

- select all content and delete this selected content in the original file.
- Copy content which is posted below
- Past content you just copied in the empty groupsform.php
- Close file and save.
- Go to your modules adminpage and press the update button for your system module.
- And now you will see the blocks in your groups admin page...
