I?ve read this manual (https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...L-or-PHP-Block) but I don?t understand very well how to implement this on my custom code.

I need to show this php code on a block, but I don?t know how to use $output variables:

Code:

<?php

// Each sponsor is an element of the $sponsors array:

$sponsors = array(
	array('facebook','The biggest social network in the world.','http://www.facebook.com/'),
	array('adobe','The leading software developer targeted at web designers and developers.','http://www.adobe.com/'),
	array('microsoft','One of the top software companies of the world.','http://www.microsoft.com/'),
	array('sony','A global multibillion electronics and entertainment company ','http://www.sony.com/'),
	array('dell','One of the biggest computer developers and assemblers.','http://www.dell.com/'),
	array('ebay','The biggest online auction and shopping websites.','http://www.ebay.com/'),
	array('digg','One of the most popular web 2.0 social networks.','http://www.digg.com/'),
	array('google','The company that redefined web search.','http://www.google.com/'),
	array('ea','The biggest computer game manufacturer.','http://www.ea.com/'),
	array('mysql','The most popular open source database engine.','http://www.mysql.com/'),
	array('hp','One of the biggest computer manufacturers.','http://www.hp.com/'),
	array('yahoo','The most popular network of social media portals and services.','http://www.yahoo.com/'),
	array('cisco','The biggest networking and communications technology manufacturer.','http://www.cisco.com/'),
	array('vimeo','A popular video-centric social networking site.','http://www.vimeo.com/'),
	array('canon','Imaging and optical technology manufacturer.','http://www.canon.com/')
);


// Randomizing the order of sponsors:

shuffle($sponsors);

			
			// Looping through the array:
			
			foreach($sponsors as $company)
			{
				echo'
				<div class="sponsor" title="Click to flip">
					<div class="sponsorFlip">
						<img src="img/sponsors/'.$company[0].'.png" alt="More about '.$company[0].'" />
					</div>
					
					<div class="sponsorData">
						<div class="sponsorDescription">
							'.$company[1].'
						</div>
						<div class="sponsorURL">
							<a href="'.$company[2].'">'.$company[2].'</a>
						</div>
					</div>
				</div>
				
				';
			}
		
		?>

Can anybody help me?

pd: I will pay if you want money

Try changing the word "echo" to "$output .= ", so that the line looks like this:

Code:

$output .= '

Edit: you may also have to remove the <?php and ?> from the beginning and end - I can't remember if they're allowed or not.

Can?t get this work

kh99 · #4 09-18-2012, 09:38 PM

OK, what happened? Did you try my suggestion, and if so, did you get any errors?

I?ve deleted the <?php and ?> and also changed "echo" to "$output .= '" and I can?t see the code, it seems that something is wrong

kh99 · #6 09-18-2012, 10:00 PM

I don't understand what that mod has to do with this, I thought you were trying to create a php type forum block. In that case you'd be entering that code (from the first post) in the Forum Block manager when you create a new "Custom HTML/PHP" block. But one thing I forgot is that using $output is for widgets. For forum blocks you need to return the value, so you'd also have to add

Code:

return $output;

as the last line.

ForumsMods · #7 09-18-2012, 10:08 PM

If I understand, you want this:

PHP Code:


			
foreach($sponsors as $company)
{
    $output = '
    <div class="sponsor" title="Click to flip">
        <div class="sponsorFlip">
            <img src="img/sponsors/'.$company[0].'.png" alt="More about '.$company[0].'" />
        </div>
     
        <div class="sponsorData">
            <div class="sponsorDescription">
                '.$company[1].'
            </div>
            <div class="sponsorURL">
                <a href="'.$company[2].'">'.$company[2].'</a>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    ';
}

echo $output;

I will make things clear, sorry guys.

From the beginning I said that was for a forumblock to don?t give more details about the situations (it seems complex but it is not)

Actually, I want implement a sponsor wall on my forum, using a custom page created with Borbole?s mod:
http://tutorialzine.com/2010/03/spon...ip-jquery-css/

What I need to do is adapt the code of the index.php file (http://demo.tutorialzine.com/2010/03...y-css/demo.php) to work on vBulletin...

That php file has html inside, but to work with php on vbulletin you need to use $output variables and that?s my main problem, I don?t know how can I adapt this code.

Scanu · #9 09-19-2012, 06:40 PM

Should'nt be "return $output"?

PHP Code:


			
foreach($sponsors+as+$company)

{

++++$output+=+'

++++<div+class="sponsor"+title="Click+to+flip">

++++++++<div+class="sponsorFlip">

++++++++++++<img+src="img/sponsors/'.$company[0].'.png"+alt="More+about+'.$company[0].'"+/>

++++++++</div>

+++++

++++++++<div+class="sponsorData">

++++++++++++<div+class="sponsorDescription">

++++++++++++++++'.$company[1].'

++++++++++++</div>

++++++++++++<div+class="sponsorURL">

++++++++++++++++<a+href="'.$company[2].'">'.$company[2].'</a>

++++++++++++</div>

++++++++</div>

++++</div>

++++';

}



return+$output;+

Sorry for ++, i copied text from my iPad and it looked like that

Crotan · #10 10-05-2012, 05:50 AM

I don't mean to threadcrap, but is there a consensus on this?

I have php code that works fine, and the only way I've found to use it in a cms widget is using an html iframe to the php file because I'm not really sure what needs to change for it to be usable in a php widget?
