Help : customise block in the sidebare

[Christos Teriakis]

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...

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.

Thank you for your reply but its not working

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
Description : The best photo enacted by Member ratemyphoto
Active : Yes
Content Type : php
Content : code php " Top "
Template to Use : block_html
