Adding a gallery to custom blocks mod

[S Mac]

You're an absolute star. Thank you very much! But...can someone tell me where I put this code? In the block itself?

[vbgamer45]

Yeah I would put in a php block.

[S Mac]

OK, I'm obviously doing something wrong. I suspected I would. I've installed the gallery & added a picture. I added your code to my custom block and nothing happened. Am I doing it all wrong? I've attached what I did...

[vbgamer45]

Do you have pictures loaded in the gallery?
Also if you are an administrator make sure you check Administrotor in permissions to view the block.

[S Mac]

Hmm. I checked everything and yes, I have pictures loaded - 2 of them so far but it should still work, right? One strange thing happened when I was checking the permissions in the block - I ticked the box for the administrator to view the block (only moderator was checked before), and the page wouldn't load. I got a strange 'website under administration' message. I wonder if that's something to do with it. Also, I just cut & pasted your code straight in - I didn't have to convert in any way did I?

Just retested on my site as SSI and works ok here is the ssi code.
You can try otherwise. Try putting

<?php 

In front of all the code.

Hi, I just tried putting the <?php in front of all the code as you suggested and it's still not working I'm afraid. Problem is, when I try to change the block setting so administrator can view, the whole website goes down & I get a HTTP 500 website under maintenance message...what's going wrong?

[S Mac]

Still need help with this please. I'm dying to get the gallery up & running...

[vbgamer45]

Hard to say would it be possible to get an admin login/ftp too?

[S Mac]

You mean so you can access it yourself? I guess so, but my life is in your hands. Not joking. So, how do I give you this info?

[vbgamer45]

Via pm. You can either make a new account and give access would be best safe way. Then  remove access when we are finished.

[vbgamer45]

Was able to get to work with your custom blocks mod appears in your forum's header.
Had to do one tweak to the code above which I updated now.

[S Mac]

I know, I'm really pleased - thanks for your help. If I want to change the number of pictures in future, do I just change the line: ($rows = 4, $images = 4, $category = 0, $type = 'recent', $startHtml = '', $endHtml = '')
to the relevant figure?

[vbgamer45]

You would edit this part of the code

Code Select Expand


SMFGalleryEzBlockGalleryBlock(1,4);


The number 4 controls how many images

[S Mac]

Brilliant, thanks.
