Hi. I would like to add some script to the sidepanel. Any suggestions on how i can do it. i've tried all the sidepanel extensions and nothing likes it. Thanks

    Do a search for RSS in the extensions. There are a couple.

    No luck there Jim. I dont think our script likes general RSS readers as it is coming out of an asp database.

    I'm now trying to get some code to work in sidepanel but casnnot fathom what is going wrong. The code between the <?php /* Extension Name: Sidepanel Extension Url: http://lussumo.com/addons Description: Enables you to insert everything you want to appear in the sidepanel easily (based on Statcounter by JP Mitchell) Version: 1.0 Author: Thomas Schranz Author Url: http://suitcase.at */ if(in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array("index.php", "categories.php", "discussions.php", "comments.php", "search.php", "post.php", "account.php", "settings.php"))){ $content = <<< ENDCODE if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/gbfserv/phpadsnew.inc.php')) { if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array(); $phpAds_raw = view_raw ('zone:1', 0, '', '', '0', $phpAds_context); echo $phpAds_raw['html']; } ENDCODE; $Panel->AddString($content,150); } ?>

    And here is the error message I'm getting when I activate the above:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/greenbui/public_html/newforum/extensions/Sidepanel-2006-07-24/default.php on line 17

    This is the line that the error is refering to:

    echo $phpAds_raw['html'];

    Any advice greatly appreciated.
    Regards Keith.

    Don't you need to echo the beginning of the <<<ENDCODE statement?

    All you need to do is to load $content with the array information. I think you don't need the ENDCODE.

    Thanks Jim I've tried all sorts of configurations around this but no joy. i assume you meant what I've tried below:


    if(in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array("index.php", "categories.php", "discussions.php", "comments.php", "search.php", "post.php", "account.php", "settings.php"))){ $content = if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/gbfserv/phpadsnew.inc.php')) { if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array(); $phpAds_raw = view_raw ('zone:1', 0, '', '', '0', $phpAds_context); echo $phpAds_raw['html']; } $Panel->AddString($content,150); } ?>

    No, I've used something like the following to load information into the sidepanel. I put your code in what I have used. I just added a function and returned that data I wanted to display.

    if(in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array("index.php", "categories.php", "discussions.php", "comments.php", "search.php", "post.php", "account.php", "settings.php"))){ function GetRSSstuff(&$Context) { if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/gbfserv/phpadsnew.inc.php')) { if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array(); $phpAds_raw = view_raw ('zone:1', 0, '', '', '0', $phpAds_context); return $phpAds_raw['html']; } } $Panel->AddString(GetRSSstuff($Context),150); }
