Autotags Functions - Adding [showBlock:blockname]
gdl
Anonymous
This has been a standard for a while for many GL installations for me. Though suprsidr has set it up in the past with some secret sauce. I have been unable to achieve the same effect and I don't understand his latest instructions so I am asking here hoping it can be dumbed down and I can refer to this post in the future for new installations. This feature allows you to put Blocks where ever you want. Thus helping with the whole left/right block limitation of the professional theme.
I am trying to add the autotag [showBlock:] to GL 1.6.1.
From Autotags Editor:
I have added the function to the functions.inc in the autotags plugins directory.
{
if(!isset($p2)){
$p2 = '';
}
return COM_showBlocks( $p1, $p2, '' );
}
function phpautotags_showBlock($p1, $p2, $fulltag) {
global $_TABLES;
$display = '';
$result = DB_query("SELECT * FROM {$_TABLES['blocks']} WHERE (name = '$p1')");
$A = DB_fetchArray($result);
if (! empty($A)) {
if ($p2 == $p1) {
$p2 = '';
}
$display = AT_formatBlock($A, $p2);
$display .= "\n";
} else {
if (SEC_inGroup('Root')) {
$display .= COM_startBlock($p1);
$display .= "<br><strong>Sorry, we cannot find the block you were requesting.</strong><br>";
;
$display .= COM_endBlock();
}
}
return $display;
}

I have adjusted the autotags config.
$_AUTO_CONF['allow_php'] = 1;
I have also checked to see if I am in the Autotag Group. Yes I am admin and I am in the groups.
After asking suprsidr what I am missing, he responded with,
Can anyone tell me what I am missing? Is he meaning a file in the public_html/admin/plugins/autotags directory? Is he talking about the Autotags Admin panel? Is their another configuration panel that is missing? I don't understand what the direction means.
I found this post from Blaine in 2007. I assume that since I am using Autotags 1.2 that this has been address and it isn't causing problems.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

From Autotags Editor:
Replace using function?
You must set the $_AUTO_CONF['allow_php'] configuration setting to '1' and be in a group with the autotags.PHP feature in order to modify autotags that call a function to translate the tag.

edit autotags admin to enable autotags php
