Birthday Module

[paul41598]

I noticed the birthday module doesnt load any templates by default. However I would like to use one, to include some other things. I edited the module and added adv_portal_birthdays to the "templates used" section, I then created the template and put a few test words in there. However the template doesnt show because the test words dont show on my homepage.

What did I do wrong if anything?

Paul41598,

The contents of the new template won't show unless the underlying PHP module has been changed to use that new template. ;)

What types of changes are you trying to do?

[paul41598]

adding a graphic/icon on the top left corner of all of my module tables

Can you add it by editing adv_cmps_shell?

[paul41598]

no cuz that will change all my tables to the same graphic. I want a diff one on each template.

Where and how do I add the line of code in birthdays.php to pull that template I made?

[paul41598]

Im assuming something like this I should do?

FIND:

$home["$mods[modid]"]['content'] = iif($birthdays, str_replace(array('member.php', ','), array($vboptions['bburl'] . '/member.php', '<br />'), $birthdays), $vbphrase['none']);

ADD BENEATH:

eval('$home[$mods[\'modid\']][\'content\'] = "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_birthdays') . '";');

Ok I need further help. I got it to work, but there are no line breaks, and even though it shows a <br /> in the code, it still wont show on my homepage

Here is the final code in birthdays module.

?>

I still cant get this :(


eval('$birthdays .= "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_birthdays') . '";');


$home["$mods[modid]"]['content'] = iif($birthdays, str_replace(array('member.php', ','), array($vboptions['bburl'] . '/member.php', '<br />'), $birthdays), $vbphrase['none']);
