themesidebox

In my theme.php file I was using the themesidebox function like this:

Code:

function themesidebox($title, $content) {
$tmpl_file = "themes/CS_BF2142/blocks.php";
$thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));
$thefile = addslashes($thefile);
$thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";
eval($thefile);
print $r_file;
}

However it wasn't rendering my php properly. So I changed it to

Code:

function themesidebox($title, $content) {
include("themes/CS_BF2142/blocks.php");
}

Is there anything bad about doing this?

Editing the html that was within the echo/print statement would probably be the best way .

Which echo/print statemenet are you talking about? The only one I see is the "print $r_file;" statement, which wouldn't follow the correct logic I need. There is no echo/print statements in blocks.php that work because implode, stripslashes, and eval cause it to not execute properly. At least thats what I'm blaming it on.

I'm trying to do something like (in pseudo code):

Code:

if($title = modules){
$img = "/themes/themename/images/1.gif";
} elseif ($title = survays){
$img = "/themes/themename/images/2.gif";
} else {
$img = "/themes/themename/images/blocks_01.gif";
}

Which will use different images depending on the block name.

I should have clarified myself a bit more as I made just a "generalized" statement, and not so much intended directly towards your issue at hand. For example :

Code:

function themesidebox($title, $content) {
echo "<table border=\"0\" align=\"center\" width=\"138\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">"
."<tr><td background=\"themes/yourtheme/images/table-title.gif\" width=\"138\" height=\"20\">"
."     <font color=\"#FFFFFF\"><b>$title</b></font>"
."</td></tr><tr><td><img src=\"themes/yourtheme/images/pixel.gif\" width=\"100%\" height=\"3\"></td></tr></table>\n"
."<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"138\">\n"
."<tr><td width=\"138\" bgcolor=\"#000000\">\n"
."<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" width=\"138\">\n"
."<tr><td width=\"138\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">\n"
."$content"
."</td></tr></table></td></tr></table><br>";
}

Ah OK. Thats pretty much what I was doing, but rather than including the block code inside the theme.php file I was putting the echo statement in blocks.php and just including it. Same difference Very Happy

Thanks
