Update Released : 1.2.0

Just a bugfix for your RTE guys, I think 3.1 changed my previous fix.

Yeah, but you would need to do it manually. You could open up the hook php file and add a check to see if its the right block id and then add php code there and display what you want.

Is there any way to get php to parse through with this? I want to query our database and include some info in the box.

GameDefy, that is an old bug that was fixed long ago, from where did you download that copy? I have a feeling there are sites out there distributing old copies of mods...

In any case, I updated it to work with 3.1 (now the blocks are collapsible). I've updated the download file here. smile2.gif

Tried to create a block and I receive this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method skin_global_2::redirectTemplate() in /home/gamedefy/public_html/admin/sources/classes/output/formats/xml/xmlOutput.php on line 178

apparently something went wrong with your install, judging by the "bf_custom_sidebar_blocks' doesn't exist" part. so uninstall and reinstall from scratch and hopefully this time the databases will be made properly. smile2.gif

the site seems fine but i cannot get into the mod throguh the apps page as this error appears


There appears to be an error with the database.
If you are seeing this page, it means there was a problem communicating with our database. Sometimes this error is temporary and will go away when you refresh the page. Sometimes the error will need to be fixed by an administrator before the site will become accessible again.

You can try to refresh the page by clicking here

any idea on this
many thanxs

go into your latest sql_error file and find the corresponding error and post it here.
