Tabbed Block + PNphpbb2 + Blockhome = ?  Bottom

  • OK.. I think I am really going about this the wrong way... it seems like what I'm trying to do SHOULD be easy, but is turning out very hard.

    reference to www.DGTrials.com please

    What I want to do:
    When we have an event, I want to have a page on my site which has important information at the top (or on the left). Then, I want to use something like tabbed block to have the following tabs:

    Forum - The content of this tab is PNphpbb2 but not the root of the forum, I want it to start at a particular thread (for the event!)

    Entrants - The content of this tab is a memberlist, but it's a "custom" member list. I only want certain members to appear (the ones that have paid for the event!) I can choose the members manually, like with a checkbox or something... it's not a big deal

    Results - This can just be an htmlpages page.

    Other tabs - I might want some other stuff, who knows.

    So I got started with Tabbed Blocks and Blockhome, and I got this far:
    http://dgtrials.com/testpost/index.php?module=BlockHome&func=main&pid=2

    Now.. here's a couple of things that I am having a hard time with --

    1) For each event, if I am doing it this way, I would have to add a ton of blocks. I have to add one block for the info. One block for the tabs. Then, each of the contents of the tabs is more blocks! It seems like doing something with Sections would be WAY easier. But I haven't seen any mods to use tabs in sections :(

    2) I can't figure out a way to create a block whose content is PNphpbb2. There is a xanthia block which outputs a module as its content, but I cant' select PNphpbb2 in the drop down! That seems like it would be ideal, but I can't do it :(

    Does anyone understand kind of what I want to do? I don't think it should be that hard, but I don't understand much postnuke yet.
  • 1) Maybe nate_02631 could comment on that. He might even go so far as to make a link between the two. One complication: I remember reading somewhere in .8 the entire categorisation will be rewritten...

    2) See your other post on that question. Maybe move to pnForum?

    Good luck!
  • 1) .8 isn't out though, is it? It's still like beta or something?

    2) replied to you about that in the other thread.
