Right column missing in version 7.7

Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2006 10:26 am

I just upgraded to php-Nuke 7.7 from 7.4 (via Fantastico). Now, in the custom themes the right column is always missing. I wanted it, in the past, to be hidden when in certain modules. Now It doesn't show at all. When I modify the code in theme.php (under themeheader()) to go back to the original "blocks(left);" code, it won't function at all..

Is there something here I need to be aware of? Question

check to see if the upgraded version contains patched files. If it does then you will need to make the changes as outlined in the readme file for the patched files. It usually involved just changing one line in the theme.php file.

TRY...

Code:

In your theme.php find:
if ($index == 1) {

and change to:
if (defined('INDEX_FILE')) {

For that matter, I've got a lot of stuff I consider important in my Right Block, like the LINK TO US section and (an admittedly poorly paying) ad, but I want them on ALL my pages, not just the front. How do I get Right Blocks back in there in NukeNews? (I'll change themes if I have to, just prefer not to.)

Pretty please? (I find it helps when I ask super, duper nice.)

Removing the index check completely will make it always show right blocks

The code

Code:

if (defined('INDEX_FILE')) {
...
}

Keep the lines in-between

The right column used to work, but after using some crap code from the phpNukeServices guys everything well to hell. Lets not get into the fact that I spent $40 for a module that does not work at all and they wont even reply to my emails about it. They were happy to answer emails before I gave them the money but I guess now that they got what they wanted they are happy and gone.

So back to my misssing right column issue. I removed the check for the INDEX file and so it now looks like this in the theme.php file.

//if (defined('INDEX_FILE')) {
echo "</td><td><img src=\"themes/Anagram/images/pixel.gif\" width=\"5\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"></td>\n"
."<td background=\"themes/Anagram/images/column-bg.gif\" valign=\"top\" width=\"150\">\n";
blocks(right);
//}

I dot know where to go from here though. If you look at the site you can tell, by highliting the page that there is a right column there and there should be three blocks in there but they are showing up. I can move the blocks to the middle or the left and they show up fine but the right they jsut disappear. See for yourself. http://GratisBay.com

Thanks for your help... I am beginning to lose hope in this and starting to think I should go to my 25% complete "from scratch" auction site.

Maybe I can just go into the PHPNuke Services code and make it do what I want but the whole module thing in PHPNuke seems strange to me, so who knows what will happen.
