Mmm you can use tables to define the height. But it will expand if the content overflows it.

the content it's self is static insize.

heres the code for one of the blocks i want to resize.

Code:

if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {


    Header("Location: ../index.php");


    die();


}


$content .= "<center><img alt=\"WoW Server Status\" src=\"modules/roster/realmstatus.php\" />";


?>

i've tried tables. but i guess my php is still a little to weak. usualy the block just craps out and the page wont load.. dunno where im going wrong.

http://www.thefilthyfew.org is the site, you can see where im trying to balance the blocks and give the page a more clean look.

When you say you have tried tables, what have you done?

I have not experienced too many issues with the tables in the blocks.

The other option would be to grab a copy of InfoBlock if it is still out there. Maty Scripts put this out a long time ago and it was really good for this kind of thing.

well. by trying tables. is i took what examples i could find and tried to follow thier lead such as the following types of trys.

Code:

echo "<table>"





or





$content = "<table>"





even 





$content = echo "<table>"

and other various forms, yes i do know that there is more code then that needed for tables. i was just giving simple examples of things i tried

my best guess is im just messing up on the formating/syntax but cant just figure out how to wrap my mind around it to figure out where im going wrong..

/edit going to correct my self i found infoblock. well i think i found it. but cost money.. Sad

You just need something like

Code:




$content = "<table height=\"200\"><tr><td height=\"200\">";


$content .= "TEXT HERE";


$content .= "</td></tr></table>";

Remember whatever starts the $content must use =
And additional text must use .=

I have added NSN_Admin_Login_750 block but the table width in the drop down box is not fiting with fiapple theme by nukemods.com Is this something I should adjust in the block itself or the theme
RavenNuke76 v2.02.02 FULL Installed
From the read me file but there was only one
(In the "blocks" directory you will find two blocks. Upload and try the
block-Admin_Login.php file first. If it fails to work the upload and try the
block-Admin_Login2.php file. The two blocks have a slightly different form
usage and will react differently on different servers.)

Any help will be appreciated
