Description and Message
Hi,

I was wondering if somebody could help me.
I really like this Portal and have been playing with it for hours now.

I wanted to add an external wind meter from a local site to my Portal custom block for center block.
I had to remove the left column to fit it in, but it does finally work with the following code.

Code: Select all

<center><embed src="http://www.tbyc.org/weather/index.php"HEIGHT=650 WIDTH=700></center>

I have now decided that I would much prefer to have some custom menu items instead, and have each of those open within a Custom center block.
Is this Possible?

I have read this knowledge/kb_show.php?id=16, So I am aware of how to add menu items and point them at my own php pages.
But I would really like everything to open within a Block that is in the center of my portal home page.

This would be great, as I could have wind meters and tide timtables appear in the same block when a visitor clicks the link on the menu.

Thanks for your time, and I look forward to some expert advice.

Have since found out that you cannot run php in blocks :/

Is there no way what so ever to run php within a block?
Only way I can seem to do it is

Code: Select all

<center><embed src="todaytide.php"width=150  length=400 </center>

todaytide grabs the tide information and puts it in the block, but IE and Firefox both need a plugin>!?!?

Anyone? Please

Ignore this, The trouble these blocks are giving me, I will not bother and just create a new php page for each link.
These blocks have problems with php

The blocks do not have problems with PHP, you just need to use the template syntax for phpBB.
