Hi All,

Am looking for a Center block for phpnuke that has a "Set" banner that will open a popup windows to the banners url when clicked on.

Please note : this banner is to be "outside" the phpnuke banner system..

Can anyone help please?

Well i think that that others that read this are a bit puzzled.
Can you tell me what code your planning to put in the center block?
Cause its a bit confusing cause you talk about outside...

Hi there,

Sorry to confuse. What i mean is i want to put a banner image into the block manually not using the "banner system" that is standard with phpnuke.

A simple center block with banner.gif for example that when clicked on opens a target_blank window to the banners URL.

Hope this clarifys things.

oh ok..
Well lets look at this sample block...

<?php

if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {
Header("Location: ../index.php");
die();
}

$content = "<center><a href=\"www.advertiser.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"images/banner/adverstiser.jpg\"></a></center>";

?>

It should be like this..

I have copied this and have the graphic file in the right directory and i get the text but now graphic?

Any ideas why?

<?php

if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {
Header("Location: ../index.php");
die();
}

$content = "<center><a href=\"www.netguide.co.nz\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"images/netguide.jpg\" alt=\"Vote For Us!\" title=\"Vote For Us!\"></a></center>\n";
$content = "<center>Vote for us in the Netguide 2006 Webawards.<br>Best Entertainment Categorie!</center>";

?>

ok fixed the above problem (forgot the . on second $content line)... now im finding that the link is automatically adding my own sites URL before the url i want the link to go to..

ie : www.mysite.co.nz/www.netguide.co.nz

i have also found that this happens in links that i include when i send out newsletters etc can someone shed some light on this one please?

well,
using it like this works normal so i dont know what should be wrong.

<center><a href="http://www.netguide.co.nz" target="_blank"><img src="images/netguide.jpg" alt="Vote For Us!" title="Vote For Us!"></a></center>
<center>Vote for us in the Netguide 2006 Webawards.<br>Best Entertainment Categorie!</center>

And i dont know how links would show in newsletters,i never send them..

The problem is caused by not using the FULL path to the url.
Using just www.takemehere.com can sometime get the nuke url added to the beginning of the url thus;
http://www.mysite.com/www.takemehere.com

If you use the full url you should have no problem. Smile
