Embedding a blocks content directly into a php page.

Hello once again all. It's been a little while since I've posted here and since I visited last we have rethemed our site and reloacted it to a 100 mbit server.

I just a had a quick question and am hoping that there is a simple solution.

It seems that several people have derived a way of making the web messenger srvice offered by e-buddy.com into a php nuke block.

All e-buddy does is allow you to access messenger services such as aim, msn, and yahoo through the web without having to have them installed on the PC. Like the way AIM express works.

The script people are using to get the login content into a block is quite simple. They just set it up as a block, and remote link to the PHP login script.

Code:




<?php





if (eregi(\"block-MSN_Login.php\",$_SERVER[\'PHP_SELF\'])) {


   Header(\"Location: index.php\");


   die();


}





$content = \"<scr~ipt src=\\\"http://www.e-messenger.net/everywhere.php\\\"></scr~ipt>\";


?>

That works nicely as a block. But what I had in mind was to remove the content from the block, and make it a permanent part of a php page. Specifically this one:
[ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

And place it directly below the join area for our chatroom. It would make sense this way since both are "webchats" and would be located on the same page.

I have tried several options including the simplest of them all by inserting the line:

include ("http://www.e-messenger.net/everywhere.php");

into the index file of that page. If you visit that link to the everywhere script however, you will notice its a plain page with a bunch of raw code and the login area. It works fine however when implemented as a block.

What procedure do I need to go about to move the login area from a block to a web page?

Many thanks in advance.[/code]

How about this (of course, remove the ~ in scr~ipt):

Code:

<?php


if ( !defined('MODULE_FILE') )


{


   die("You can't access this file directly...");


}


if (stristr($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'],'%25')) header("Location: index.php");





require_once("mainfile.php");


$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));


get_lang($module_name);








echo "<scr~ipt src=\"http://www.e-messenger.net/everywhere.php\"></scr~ipt>";





?>

Save it as index.php and put it in modules/Web_Chat directory. It assumes you're using the latest Nuke patch.

Wow. That worked like a charm.

Thanks man.

Does anyone know if the e-buddy site also has these "everywhere" scripts for aim and yahoo?

I know they have aim and yahoo web chats on their sites, just not sure if they have the php scripts you can remote link to like the msn one.

OK. Found the links for the aim and the yahoo.

Only problem left is getting everything sorted nice and neat.

What I mean is i put in the index.php a simple line

include ("messenger.html");

and organize the code in it like this, mixed with html and php.

Code:




HTML HEADER HERE


Msn web info here


HTML FOOTER HERE





PHP HEADER HERE


php msn code here


PHP FOOTER HERE





HTML HEADER HERE


yahoo messenger info here


HTML FOOTER HERE





PHP HEADER HERE


php yahoo code here


PHP FOOTER HERE

Except when I load the web page, it categorizes everything by the type of scripting used. so the web page will display like this:

Code:




MSN INFO HERE





YAHOO INFO HERE





MSN LOGIN HERE





YAHOO LOGIN HERE

Which looks just plain sloppy.

You can go to [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]
to see what i mean. How do i fix this annoyance?
