Created new center block and not displaying the right blocks

Hello all i made a center block to display some pics and a price. Now when i run this my right blocks disapper. I have checked the coding and everything looks ok. I tested this on the right and left side and everything works. But as soon as i put it in the middle i loose my right hand blocks

Code:

<?php

if (eregi("block-4sale", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {

Header("Location: index.php");

die();

}

$content = "";

$content .= '<table width="50%" border="0" align="center" cols="10" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr>';

$hostname="********";
$username="****";
$password="*******";
$dbname="********";
mysql_connect($hostname,$username, $password) OR DIE ("Unable to connect to database! Please try again later.");
mysql_select_db($dbname);

$query = "SELECT * FROM pic ";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
extract ($row);
$content .= '<td align="center" valign="baseline"><a href="/np/index.php?trl='.$id.' "><img src=/np/pics/'.$location .' HEIGHT=50 Width= 75 </img><br />' . $price . '</a></td>';
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
extract ($row);
$content .= '<td align="center" valign="baseline"><a href="/np/index.php?trl='.$id.' "><img src=/np/pics/'.$location .' HEIGHT=50 Width= 75 </img><br />' . $price . '</a></td>';

}
$content .= '</tr><tr align="center"><td colspan="10" valign="baseline"></td></tr></table>';

?>

Does anyone know why??

please change your topic title to something that addresses your problem.

Is this for an older and unpatched version of nuke?

If it is for a fully patched nuke try replacing

Code:

if (eregi("block-4sale", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {

Header("Location: index.php");

die();

}

with

Code:

if(!defined('NUKE_FILE') && !defined('BLOCK_FILE')) { die("You can't access this file directly..."); }

not to mention the double quotes trashes the place...
escape " by \"

The double quotes are fine inside single quotes.

does the platinum has error reporting ?

flintman · New Member Joined: Jan 09, 2007 Posts: 13

I do have error reporting and not displaying anything.

hitwalker · Sells PC To Pay For Divorce Joined: Posts: 5661

well i think im almost right on the reason..
if im wrong i apologize,but ive played a lot on my testsite and seen right sides disapear cause of the usage of quotes,double quotes...

To rule that out i would try to replace the ' with " and escape \"
you can try that with a duplicate block...

I just noticed your image tags aren't closed correctly.

Try writing them like either:

<img ..... />

OR

<img ... ></img>

nice...lol
i didnt saw that....
but as he says that all works its even more weird.
so <img src=/np/pics/'.$location .' HEIGHT=50 Width= 75
has to be <img src=/np/pics/'.$location .' HEIGHT=50 Width=75>

as far as development goes it doesnt need a img closing tag..

Maybe his theme is messed up. I remember when I created my first center block I discovered my theme didn't have a themecenterbox() coded for it. Nuke had some code like "if !function_exists('themecenterbox')" and supplied a default implementation for that function. But of course it had the typical crazy stupid FB errors in it. You might want to look at your theme's themecenterbox() (see if you even have one).

It maybe be useful to post a snippet of the generated HTML on and around your center block too.

hitwalker · Sells PC To Pay For Divorce Joined: Posts: 5661

another question that pops into my head...
can you try another theme....?
see if its the same...

flintman · New Member Joined: Jan 09, 2007 Posts: 13

same with different theme

Again, it maybe be useful to post a snippet of the generated HTML on and around your center block too. Display the page, then do a "view source" in your browser. Post a chunk of code around your center block.
