  Has anyone tested out BlockHome with AutoTheme 1.0, the paid version?
  
  I tried BlockHome with AT .7 (the free version) on a fresh install of PN and it worked fine, but now I did a fresh install of PN using AT 1.0 and none of the AT Autoblocks are showing up as Block styles in BH when I'm editing block styles for Columns.
  
  Can anyone verify that it works under AT 1.0?

  Not by default... to get it to work with AT 1.0, find the following code at the top of the pnadmin.php file in the BlockHome module:
  

  Code

  if (file_exists('modules/Blocks/autoblock.cfg')) {
      include('modules/Blocks/autoblock.cfg');

  
  And change it to:
  

  Code

  if (file_exists('modules/AutoTheme/autotheme.cfg')) {
      include('modules/AutoTheme/autotheme.cfg');

  
  Then, in the pnconfig.php of that module *remove* the code to suck in the Nuclei blocks, as they will not work together:
  
  

  Code

  // Add extra Nuclei Block Zones included with your version of the program
  if (file_exists('modules/Blocks/nuclei.cfg')) {
      $GLOBALS['styles'] = $GLOBALS['styles'] + array('1' => 'Area 1',
                      '2' => 'Area 2',
                      '3' => 'Area 3',
          '4' => 'Area 4',                            '5' => 'Area 5',
          '6' => 'Area 6',
          '7' => 'Area 7',
          '8' => 'Area 8',
          '9' => 'Area 9',
          'W' => 'Area W',
          'X' => 'Area X',   
          'Y' => 'Area Y',   
          'Z' => 'Area Z',   
          't' => 'Top',   
          'b' => 'Bottom',                            );
  }

  
  (Or just remove Areas 1 through 9)... That should do it!

  Update Notice: BlockHome has had a minor version update to address the issues above. From the ChangeLog:
  
  [BlockHome version 1.1.1]
  • Changed ctype function to is_numeric in pnadmin/pnuser to alleviate compatibility issues with newer PHP
  • Added compatibility with AutoTheme 1.0 (Commercial Version)
  • Updated pnadmin so Nuclei Block zones are not loaded if either AT, AT-L is present, to prevent zone conflicts

  After installing, intializing and activating the module, I have a problem when trying to use it. The icon shows up in the AdminCP, but when I click on it, it just goes to a listing that is identical to the News module.
  
  Here's the URL it's generating:
  
  http://www.mysite.com/Nuke/index.php?module=BlockHome&type=admin

  To OSS & skicrave, if you are unzipping online - unzip in your PN *root* directory. If you are unzipping and uploading, you want to place the BlockHome directory (and the files & subdirs therein) under the module directory in your PN site... Also, the module is designed to work with PN .726, so make sure you have the correct version...
  
  So it *should* be in...
  

  Code

  module/BlockHome/

  
  I'd start from scratch if still experienceing any difficulties...

  I think then maybe what you did was *overwrite* some files in your modules/Modules directory. Re-up the files for your Modules module (modules/Modules), then upload the BlockHome file to the modules (modules/BlockHome) subdir and you should be fine...

  Nate -- Thanks for your mod and your tutorial! Excellent work! I am a newbie to PHP & Postnuke. I am creating a multisite and I am using your Mod (BlockHome) to create the different main pages for each site. I have built the first group which has 2 blocks; first block (Block Style: Left Cell Width: 100%) that carries 10 stories, second block (Block Style: Right Cell Width: 100%) that carries a random picture. My question to this is how can I fill the same first group with more blocks but only under the randon picture block using BlockHome? The object is to fill the right side to meet the page length of the stories.
  
  Thanks in advance for your time and support.

  Can this block be used with AutoTheme? I'm looking for some very specific functionality and this may do what I need, but all my site themes are developed using ATlite. I turn off switching of themes due to design specifics of layout. I'm going d/l your module and test it out on my test environment w/ AT and see what happens.
  
  Thanks

  Nate, you provided me some info a while back regarding news block placement based on what I wanted to do. At first glance at this new module, I'm thinking you solved my delimma, but I'm still a bit confused about the functionality of the mod.
  
  What I'm looking to do is to be able to direct each individual news story to a particular block placement within a given page or pages, which with the current core news mod you really can't do without making hacks to the code. Am I correct in that, when a news story is created, I can go into this module and direct its placement using its id's. I use AutoTheme lite and create different default theme.html for specific moduals, but this hasn't really help with using the news mod. How would I use this in conjunction with a news.html page I create. I would create that template with all the blocks I might want to use for placement. How would I specify that template for setting this up and for that matter any of the templates that I might want to use for the different modules.
  
  I hope I've been clear with my descriptions. If this does what I think it does, you've just moved PN to the next level. What I'm trying to accomplish is using PN in more of an online magazine layout that is interesting and flexible.
  
  Thanks for your great work
