Help : customise block in the sidebare

I have a php file inspire the product "Rate My Photo (HorOrNot Clone)" and correctly displays the best picture of my database and uses a template but I am unable to make my block:

the php code

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php 

global $vbulletin;
// Include Globals
    require_once('./global.php');

$bestphoto =$vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT * FROM vb_ratemyphoto_photos WHERE approved=1 AND hidden=0 

AND rating>0 ORDER BY rating DESC, votes DESC LIMIT 1");
    $besttitle = htmlspecialchars_uni($bestphoto["title"]);
    $bestphotoname = $bestphoto["logo"];
    $bestvotes = $bestphoto["votes"];
    $bestrating = $bestphoto["rating"];
        $templater = vB_Template::create('block-photo');
        $templater->register('besttitle', $besttitle);
    $templater->register('bestphotoname', $bestphotoname);
        $templater->register('bestvotes', $bestvotes);
    $templater->register('bestrating', $bestrating);
    $templater->register('bestuserid', $bestphoto[userid]);
    $templater->register('bestusername', $bestphoto[username]);    
    $templater->register('catid', $catid);
        print_output($templater->render());
 
      
?>

the template :

HTML Code:

<li>

        <div class="block smaller">

                <div class="blocksubhead">

                Meilleur photo        

                </div>

                <div id="block_title" class="blockbody floatcontainer" {vb:raw content.style}>

                        <div class="blockrow">



        <img src="../forum/ratemyphoto/photo/thumbs/{vb:raw bestphotoname}"/>



                        </div>

                </div>

        </div>

        <div class="underblock"></div>

</li>

                </div>

        </div>

</div>        

<div class="underblock"></div>

Try this for the code:

Code:

global $vbulletin;



$bestphoto =$vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT * FROM vb_ratemyphoto_photos WHERE approved=1 AND hidden=0 



AND rating>0 ORDER BY rating DESC, votes DESC LIMIT 1");

    $besttitle = htmlspecialchars_uni($bestphoto["title"]);

    $bestphotoname = $bestphoto["logo"];

    $bestvotes = $bestphoto["votes"];

    $bestrating = $bestphoto["rating"];

        $templater = vB_Template::create('block-photo');

        $templater->register('besttitle', $besttitle);

    $templater->register('bestphotoname', $bestphotoname);

        $templater->register('bestvotes', $bestvotes);

    $templater->register('bestrating', $bestrating);

    $templater->register('bestuserid', $bestphoto[userid]);

    $templater->register('bestusername', $bestphoto[username]);    

    $templater->register('catid', $catid);

    return $templater->render();

Thank you but the block still appears empty

kh99	01-02-2013 03:52 PM

Have you created the template called "block-photo" (or does it exist already)?

I created it myself

Well, I can't really tell what's going on from that. One thing is that the template you posted doesn't have the tags matched - there's one more </div> than there is <div>.

Are you entering that template name in "Template to use"? If so, set "Template to Use" to block_html. Also, set "Cache Time (in minutes)" to 0 until you get it working, then set it to the number of minutes you want to cache.

Replace this line:

PHP Code:


		
			
    return $templater->render();

With these:

PHP Code:


		
			
    $my_output = $templater->render();
    return $my_output;

And Kevin is correct in that your html template is improper html. I have no idea what it will do to the page if you leave it like that.

the new template :

HTML Code:

<div class="block smaller">

        <div class="blocksubhead">

                Meilleur photo

        </div>

        <div class="widget_content blockbody floatcontainer">

                <div class="blockrow" align="center">

                        <A HREF="ratemyphoto/photos/{vb:raw bestphotoname}"><img border="0" src="ratemyphoto/photos/thumbs/{vb:raw bestphotoname}"></A><br />

                        

                </div>

        </div>

</div>        

<div class="underblock"></div>

I have set "Template to Use" to block_html. and, set "Cache Time (in minutes)" to 0

It says "block_photo" (unless you meant you changed it after making the screen grab). It *is* possible to use a custom template name there, but unless you want the "frame" part to look different than other blocks, I wouldn't do it that way.

All your variables need to be returned as an array. Example:

PHP Code:


		
			
    $my_output = array('besttitle', $besttitle
    'bestphotoname', $bestphotoname);
return $my_output

And then you may use those variables in your template. I have a Users Online Block that I released (see my profile) and you can see how to use a custom template and return custom variables.

I was out for holidays, so just seen it (in my site too). As I'm still out of my working area, the only that I can say for now is that you've an error in configuration. Is PHP block and not HTML.
For more, a bit later...

This post can be closed because I finally found the solution

PHP Code:


		
			
global $vbulletin;



$bestphoto =$vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT * FROM vb_ratemyphoto_photos WHERE approved=1 AND hidden=0 



AND rating>0 ORDER BY rating DESC, votes DESC LIMIT 1");

    $besttitle = htmlspecialchars_uni($bestphoto["title"]);

    $bestphotoname = $bestphoto["logo"];

    $bestvotes = $bestphoto["votes"];

    $bestrating = $bestphoto["rating"];

        $templater = vB_Template::create('block_photo');

        $templater->register('besttitle', $besttitle);

    $templater->register('bestphotoname', $bestphotoname);

        $templater->register('bestvotes', $bestvotes);

    $templater->register('bestrating', $bestrating);

    $templater->register('bestuserid', $bestphoto[userid]);

    $templater->register('bestusername', $bestphoto[username]);    

    $templater->register('catid', $catid);

    return $templater->render();

created template called "block_photo"

PHP Code:


		
			
Member: <a href="member.php?u={vb:raw bestuserid}&tab=ratemyphoto#ratemyphoto">{vb:raw bestusername}</a><br />

Nb rate: <b>{vb:raw bestvotes}</b><br />

Best rate: <b>{vb:raw bestrating}</b>

setting:
Title : The best Photo

Active : Yes
Content Type : php
Content : code php " Top "
Template to Use : block_html
