including html file in a block

Regular Joined: Aug 04, 2006 Posts: 64

hello,
I have been reading on how to include htm into a block but what i need to do is include an htm file. this file would is output from a log parser. It outputs it in htm. I made a roster module from the main file it outputs but it also outputs a class stats htm page. I would like to show that in a block. I need it to pull from modules/Roster

the roster is here [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

Also is there an easy way to make the java sort function on these pages work?
Everything i have tried so far just does not work.

Thanks
Lonk

I would take the code from that Roster module and refactor it into a block. Essentially you need to turn the echo statements into assignments to $content.

the log parser we use processes the files and then upload them to our website in one step.

it outputs two files one is the roster and one is class stats. both are htm files.

here is the index file for the module

Code:

<?php





if (!eregi("modules.php", $PHP_SELF)) {


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





}


require_once("mainfile.php");


$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));


get_lang($module_name);


include("header.php");


$index = 0;


OpenTable();


include("Faux_Pas_Roster.htm");


CloseTable();


include("footer.php");





?>

I am not sure what you mean by echo statements. can you give me alittle more detail.

Oh, I understand better now. Thanks for clarifying. You could save the following in a file called, for example, block-Roster.php and save it under your blocks directory:

Code:




<?php





if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {


    header("Location: ../index.php");


    die();


}





$content = file_get_contents('Faux_Pas_Roster.htm');





?>

However it looks like the contents of your file contain HTML, HEAD, and BODY tags. The above might work but it will make your site non-compliant. You may have to post-process the file to remove that stuff (if you care about compliance).

This worked for the Block. [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] lower left side. Thank you for your help. any idea how to get the java sort function working in the roster module?

Here is the code for the htm that the parser outputs. It would be nice to be able to sort it by name, class, or level.

well it will not allow me to add the code to the forums. if you would like to look at it let me know and i can email it to you or is there a way to post htm to the forums?
