hi Housy,

try this one in code section or in your template...

Code: [Select]

<?php
// here your section 
$section_id = 65;

// query for section call
$query_sections = $database->query("SELECT section_id,module FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."sections WHERE section_id = &#39;$section_id&#39; ");

// query to check if section exists and output with fitting mod view.php
if($query_sections->numRows() > 0) {
$section = $query_sections->fetchRow();
$section_id = $section[&#39;section_id&#39;];
$module = $section[&#39;module&#39;];
require(WB_PATH.&#39;/modules/&#39;.$module.&#39;/view.php&#39;);
} 
?>
best regards

Hi guys,

i use this piece of code for global blocks!

I've got it from vyni!

The Trick is that you can have default view for a global block (with the section_id you choose) and if you want another content on one or more sites only set up a section and set it up to the content of the global block - and on this page the content is like you want it!

This is WOW USEFUL!!! THANKS MAN!!!

Hi,
I am trying to make a global block for a contact-form on my template.
the above code works great and gets the job done, but for some reason it includes the CSS style into the page's code.
any ideas?

Hi!

If your server does not allow the include-command in your template's index.php
<?php include (WB_URL."/pages/blocks/block1.php"); ?>
due to security-settings, try this instead:

<?php
$handle = fopen (WB_URL."/pages/blocks/block1.php", "r");
while (!feof($handle))
   {
    $buffer = fgets($handle, 4096);
    print_r ($buffer);
   }
 ?>

Works well

greets masju
