Turn off right blocks?

Involved Joined: Nov 19, 2003 Posts: 282

In the past if there were no right blocks the center block would stretch and cover the center and right column.

I "thought" to turn it off it was in the module "index=0" but I have set index to 0 but the center block still does not unfold.

I've turned off all the right blocks and still the center block does not populate.

Is this a theme issue or is there a new way to turn off and on right blocks by module?

... index=0 is an old PHP Nuke standard.

Try this:

Code:

// BEGIN: Added in v2.40.00 - Mantis Issue 0001043


$index = 0;


if (!defined('INDEX_FILE')) define('INDEX_FILE', true); // Set to FALSE to hide right blocks


if (defined('INDEX_FILE') AND INDEX_FILE===true) {


   // auto set right blocks for pre patch 3.1 compatibility


   $index = 1;


}


// END: Added in v2.40.00 - Mantis Issue 0001043

Thank you Naralex - I got side tracked but will revisit that project this weekend and try that.

Also, search the forums for turn off right blocks using "search for all terms".

I determined it was a theme issue. That the center block was coded in the table width which is why it did not matter if I turned them all off the center block would still not unfold.

Oh I didn't notice! HI Raven!

How nice to see you type words to me again after all these years. Even though you were lovingly scolding me to search Smile

In this case I did not search because I thought I already knew the answer :-/ so it made me think it was something new in 2.5.1 that was causing it.

On another note I have been coming here for 10 years. _TEN YEARS_ !!! Truly the Raven has awesome stamina and staying power! Cheers

I think 10 years is an eternity in nuke time!

For years people be like here use Joomla and here use VBulletin or here use that wordpress or no try that VB portal you'll like it and you could try that oscommerce fork #217 that has its own CMS! woooha!

Everyone always blaming the failure of the 3 or 4 sites I've tried on the nuke factor... no ... I think it has nothing to do with the nuke factor.

Nope ... always back to here I find myself. Again now in 2013 - to try again - because if at first you don't succeed .... Smile

Draxx,

Yep, you and I go way back, for sure Cheers

! Actually, when I referred you to the forums, it was because I had found several different places that could be causing the problem and rather than list them I just said to search Wink

Glad to know you're still around Wave
