vb block into module?

[qpurser]

I am using a vBulletin add-on called Raffles.
This add-on puts also a forum side block on the forum to display the active Raffles.

I would like to use this forum block into a module and therefore I tried to put the PHP code I found in this forum block into a new PHP module.

• I made a PHP file with the code and added this to the module folder.
• Created a new PHP module calling this file but nothing shows up.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Here is the code I had from the forum block which I added into my PHP file:

<?php
global $vbulletin;

if ($vbulletin->options['raffle_mode'] && $vbulletin->options['raffle_showsidebar'] && !is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, explode(',', $vbulletin->options['raffle_perms'])))
{
	$timenow = TIMENOW;
	$allow_view = true;
	$raffle_getactive = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "raffle 
			WHERE enddate > $timenow AND startdate <= $timenow AND winner = ''
			ORDER BY id DESC
			"); 

	if ($vbulletin->db->num_rows($raffle_getactive)) 
	{ 
		while($raffle = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($raffle_getactive))
		{
			($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('raffle_active')) ? eval($hook) : false;
			if($allow_view == true)
			{
				if($raffle_list) $raffle_list .= '<br />';
				$raffle_list .= '<a href="raffles.php?' . $session[sessionurl] . 'do=raffle&id=' . $raffle[id] . '" title="' . $raffle[name] . '" />' . $raffle[name];
				if($raffle['showimage'])
				{
					if(empty($raffle['prizeimg'])) $raffle['prizeimg'] =  'images/raffles/default.gif';
					$target =  $vbulletin->options['raffle_sidebar_maxpicture'];
					$picturesize = getimagesize($raffle['prizeimg']); 
					$percentage = ($target / $picturesize[0]); 
					$picture_width = round($picturesize[0] * $percentage); 
					$picture_height = round($picturesize[1] * $percentage); 
					$raffle_list .= '<br /><center><img class="display" src="' . $raffle['prizeimg'] . '" width="' . $picture_width . '" height="' . $picture_height . '" alt="' . $raffle['name'] . '" border="0" /></center>';
				}
				$raffle_list .= '</a><br />';
			}
		}
	} 

	unset($raffle_getactive); 
	$statsarray = array('currentraffles'  => $raffle_list,);
	return $statsarray;
}
?>

What have you set here ?

Clean File Output

If your are trying to include a PHP file that was not written specifically for vBulletin or vBadvanced, it may be necessary to "clean" the output of this file. If you add a module and the content prints out as the first thing on the top your page, this is a good indication that it needs to be cleaned.

The add-on was written for vBulletin and works fine in the sidebar block without vBadvanced.
Here is a link to the add-on on vBulletin.org: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...light=advanced

Tried everything.
With and without clean output. Just won't show up
