  I have a standalone phpBB2 forum in conjuction with our postnuke site.
  
  we want to add a who's online block to the postnuke home page, to show who is online in the forums. now I have working code to show this, but I cant seem to find a block that will take the code.
  
  the actual code is PHP script, when added to PHP page it shows the necessary information so the code works ok, but how can I add that code to a block? so that it shows this information, and what type of block do i need?
  
  the code in question is
  
  
  
  in case that is any help, as you can see its just a small snippet.
  
  if anyone can help I would be very gratefull.

  You can do it by adding a new block in the administration -> blocks area. select 'Core/PHP Script' from the drop down menu.
  
  As far as I can work it out you don't need to write the whole

  Code

  <?php include("phpBB2/online.php"); ?>

  
  
  you should just write it as
  
  

  Code

  include("phpBB2/online.php");

  
  
  hope this helps - let me know if it does =OD

  sadly not, in fact it lost all the content of the home page, everything went and i had to delete the block via the database just to get back into admin?
  
  and as I have tried this bloc with the full code, I know that doesn't work either? so i am stumped, however as this IS a core block i think i will move this to core block support and see if they can help there, thanx for trying anyway, much appreciated.

  Odd - I tested it on my installation of postnuke [7.2] and it worked fine. perhaps its a glitch Hope you have more luck elsewhere :D

  Why not do a test to see if it actually the postnuke acting up or an incompatibility with the file you are calling.
  
  write a test .php file
  
  

  Code

  <?php
  echo( "this is a test");
  ?>

  
  
  upload it to the root directory of your postnuke installation.
  
  Then call it in a PHP block
  
  

  Code

  include("test.php");

  
  
  if it works then there must be a problem with it actually reading your phpbb/online.php file
  
  just a suggestion :D
