Hi All,
Just to pose a question on how one would include a block/module on a standard PHP or shtml page... Can it be done....
For example.. Let's say you wanted to just to have the news/calendar/links/etc. show up on a hard coded page, even though there has been a session created, the user goes to this "NOT PostNuke PAGE" but it has post nuke modules working inside it.... Just like calling an SSI include or EXEC Command to bring the program into the page..
Check out www.longislandguide.com for an example of a calendar being called from an SSI call and embedding in the page. And the calendar passes it's variables to highlight the events. This site is not post nuke...
I hope you understand and can help....
Best regards,
Lonny

This isn't the complete answer but it may get you started. In my Recipe module I pass data between sites via XML. Check out the link (XML):

Here is the module backend.php code:
Code

chdir ('../../') ;
include 'includes/pnAPI.php' ;
pnInit () ;
//include 'modules/Recipes/pntables.php' ; // no database access here
if (! pnModLoad ('Recipe', 'user'))
{
die (_LOAD_FAILED) ;
}
if (! pnModAPILoad ('Recipe', 'user'))
{
die (_LOAD_FAILED) ;
}
//
//---- call function ----//
//
$function = pnVarCleanFromInput ('function') ;
switch ($function)
{ // limit functions that can be called
case 'xml_server' :
case 'image_return' :
$Result = pnModFunc('Recipe',
'user',
$function) ;
break ;
default :
$Result = 'No access' ;
break ;
}
if (empty ($Result)
|| $Result == true)
{
}
else
{
print ($Result) ;
}
?>
This was simple because there was no forms or input involved.
