you have it like this ?

require_once("mainfile.php");
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
get_lang($module_name);
$index = 0;
include("header.php");

Hey hitwalker thx for replying so soon

it actually looks like this

require_once("mainfile.php");
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
get_lang($module_name);
$pagetitle = "- "._UDOWNLOADS."";
require_once("modules/$module_name/d_config.php");
define('INDEX_FILE', true);
$index = 0;

the include("header.php"); is called in the function index() {

ive tried adding $index = 0; to the function index() { and that didnt work either.

Yeah i read those first before posting, this is normally so easy to do... i read those again and ive tried them but still no luck.

Its not a problem, but it would have been nice to remove the right blocks ... Thx hitwalker

Well, this works just fine for me:

Code:




require_once("mainfile.php");


$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));


get_lang($module_name);


$pagetitle = "- "._UDOWNLOADS."";


require_once("modules/$module_name/d_config.php");


//define('INDEX_FILE', true);

Make sure you do not still have the $index line in there.

Have you tried define('INDEX_FILE', false);?

Yeah, I guess it could depend on the theme (non-RavenNuke76 provided theme). fisubice and the others in this distro, I believe, are using a check like this in it, but if the theme has been "patched" differently:

function themefooter() {
global $foot1, $foot2, $foot3, $copyright, $totaltime, $footer_message;
if (defined('INDEX_FILE')) {
$tmpl_file = "themes/fisubice/center_right.html";
$thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));
$thefile = addslashes($thefile);
$thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";
eval($thefile);
print $r_file;
blocks('right');
}

This is bizzare ! lol

Well im going to take a closer look at the theme, i still cant get my head around it beacuse if i add $index = 0; to other modules that works okay its just the dowloads module thats not playing.

Ive just tried the fisubice theme too and its not happnin .. so i must be doing some thing wrong somewhere

Ill keep trying and let you know

Thx for all the replies

I agree!

If you are using RavenNuke76 2.02.02 and a theme which came with it, then $index would not work. So, yes, this does seem to point to you using an older theme that has not been patched to be compatible with Chatserv patches 3.1 (or 3.2 - i cannot recall) or later.

Look for instances of:

If ($index = 1) {

And modify to:

If (defined('INDEX_FILE')) {

I am thinking that should fix you up.

I still cant do this, ive left it for fews weeks now, but now ive come to the stage where i need to remove the RIGHT blocks from a certain module.

Ive tried this in both my theme and the fisubice theme and it doesnt do anything.

ive added both (not at same time)

define('INDEX_FILE', false);

and

$index = 0;

to the top of my module in question... ive actually looked at the other modules that dont have right blocks like the Search, Your Account and the Forums and i just cant see any code that even looks like it would be usefull.

Any more suggestions ?

Delete the 'INDEX_FILE' line

Posted: Mon Nov 13, 2006 10:07 am

i just hashed out

//define('INDEX_FILE', false);

doesnt work im affraid

Posted: Mon Nov 13, 2006 10:17 am

So to recap then, neither the modules index.php page nor the themes theme.php file have either INDEX_FILE or $index=1 in them?

Posted: Mon Nov 13, 2006 10:19 am

currently the theme.php has INDEX_FILE in it once

If this is a free theme, can you provide a link so I can try it?

Montego has Pm me ive sent him all source files, so i think its best if we dont waste everyones time.

Dont get me wrong i appriciate everyones assistance very much, but it would be silly to have both of you trying to work it out.

Ill keep this thread updated

Not a problem, thanks for the update.

Turns out that the pesky line:

define('INDEX_FILE', true);

was throughout the module's index.php script within each function. Once each of these was commented out, it worked perfectly using the fisubice theme.

Thanks Montego,

Now ill remember to look at each function when im trying to remove the right blocks for any module !
