RavenNuke 2.50.00 - HTML Form Tag - Block

Is there such a thing, or a way to enter a simple HTML Form Tag into a block. This block will be positioned to the left or right.

I have tried several blocks, but nothing happen.

Thank you.

I am not sure what I have done, but it works, and it don't work. Very Happy

1. I created a basic HTML page.

2. I then Inserted a table with no rows or columns.

3. I then inserted the HTML form tag.

4. I save the HTML file as \blocks\block-Test.php

The form looks as should, when clicked, it carries out the job correctly. There is a block below it that reads, There isn't content right now. The original block.

Why is there two?

Thanks.

Here is the one problem I notice. The form might be working perfectly, but it is sitting on top of the block instead of being inside of it. Not directly on top.

How can I fix this?

The first thing you want to do is to keep people from accessing the file unless it is as a block. Use the opening php tag and this code to secure it.

php Code:

<?php


if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {


	Header('Location: ../index.php');


	die();


}

Than you will add the heart of the code to it. Blocks wrap the content in the variable $content like so.

php Code:




$content='<form action="" method="post">


<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick" />


<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="" />


<input name="submit" type="image" src="" alt="" align="middle" border="0" />


<img alt="" border="0" src="" width="1" height="1" />


</form>';

You only need the form content since the theme takes care of the rest.

The only thing left is to close it with the closing php tag.

The finished block should look like this:

php Code:




<?php


if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {


	Header('Location: ../index.php');


	die();


}


$content='<form action="" method="post">


<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick" />


<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="" />


<input name="submit" type="image" src="" alt="" align="middle" border="0" />


<img alt="" border="0" src="" width="1" height="1" />


</form>';





?>

Some html would need a few structural changes to work in the single quotes. Most will work like this. There are a lot of resources on the Internet about using html in php. Most older ones will show the double quote method which requires a few other changes to the html code.

Raven body went blank. Nothing in the middle. I can see the blocks that are on and the pull down menu, but when clicked the screen returns blank. I do not see the new block we are working on.

Current: \blocks\block-Test.php

php Code:

<?php


if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {


Header('Location: ../index.php');


die();


$content='<form action="" method="post">


<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick" />


<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="" />


<input name="submit" type="image" src="" alt="" align=" align="middle" border="0" />


<img alt="" border="0" src="" width="1" height="1" />


</form>';


?>

I made changes to the code, so when clicked, it will open in a new window.

$content='<form action="" method="post" target="_blank">

Thanks again.
