PN-726

Question:
Current theme - fiblack - looks like ported from nuclei - works well. The relevant existing theme.html code is:

code:<td
valign="top"><!-- [left-blocks] --></td> <td
align="center" valign="top"><!-- [center-blocks] --><BR
/><!-- [modules] --><BR /><BR /></td>

<td valign="top" align="right"><!-- [right-blocks]
-->

    </td>

I want a bottom block that will float below <-- modules --> as additions are made to news articles, etc.

code:<td
valign="top"><!-- [left-blocks] --></td>

<td align="center" valign="top"><!-- [center-blocks]
--><BR /><!-- [modules] --><BR /><!--
[center-blocks] --><BR /></td><td valign="top"
align="right"> 

<!-- [right-blocks]
--></td>

The above test placed the center block below the news as desired.

Designed a suitable bottom block table that I want to hold 3 blocks of mod data - 2 up - 1 lower:
polls and who's online or other blocks as desired with banners below

Will  place the right module data in this area or are different calls required, ie <-- $banner1 -->?

Saved as newly designed table as area1block.html with only css and table code. When I added it to the Theme.html

code:<td
valign="top"><!-- [left-blocks] --></td>

<td align="center" valign="top"><!-- [center-blocks]
--><BR /><!-- [modules] --><BR /><!--
[area1-block] --><BR /></td><td valign="top"
align="right"><!-- [right-blocks]
--></td>

and loaded the theme - no bottom block appeared below the news.

Checked the Tutorials link that is in Forums but the links from the page are broken.

Assistance appreciated so I can finish the theme on this site

David

Well I would of offered to redo the blocks on the theme for you if I didn't notice you completely removed my copyrights and the link to my site on the bottom of the FREE theme you downloaded from me..

I don't think dl was from your site at all.

I think it was part of a group of files dl from the Envolution site. However, I did check the your original and the online footers and noticed that the link to your site is not there. My appologies for that error. I think Adam or Jordan must have been at the graphics. I will see it gets changed back and that your link appears. In the meantime, your design has been taken offline with my appologies and Adm and Jordan get no Twinkies for a week.

If you check the current theme you will see credit given to designer (bottom left)

Had already tried that - didn't work.

AutoTheme Config for FIBlack

code:
Templates

theme.html - Main

 Table 1

 Table 2

summary.html - Summary

0 - Use Alternating Summary?

summary1.html - Summary 1

summary1.html - Summary 2

article.html - Article

Block Templates

leftblock.html - Left Block

centerblock.html - Center Block

rightblock.html - Right Block

area1block.html - Area1 Block

bottom.html - Area2 Block

Relevant section from theme.html

code:<table width="100%"
border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"
height="100%"><tr>

<td valign="top"><!-- [left-blocks] --></td>

<td align="center" valign="top"><!-- [area1-blocks]
--><BR /><!-- [center-blocks] --><BR />

<!-- [modules] --><BR />

</td><td valign="top" align="right"><!-- [right-blocks]
--></td></tr></table>

[area1-blocks] does not show up on top of the web page as expected.
Replacing [area1-blocks] with the banners call as [banners] returns a banner on page load on line 510 (view source).
Changing [banners] call to the  call injects nothing on line 510 of the compiled page.
As a test I removed <! -- --> and left [area1-blocks] - which rendered as [area1-blocks] on the page - not the block.
I don't understand why the addition is not being rendered. Have placed the FLBlack in the site downloads area for you to have a look at if you wish.

Tried that one already - no effect.

Took off the <! -- --> and [Area1-blocks] showed up in the right place
put <! -- --> back and nothing showed up and it should. the HTML file has Test area 1; Test Area 2, etc all over it for location marking - but the HTML insert is a no show on the rendered page.

No, you need to have a block or blocks in Administration Blocks assigned to Area1. Then it will display that Block or Blocks.

Example: Assign Who's Online to Area1, then Who's online will display where you have

Not sure I follow this. Are you referring to theme.cfg having an entry something like this?

code:$blocktemplate = array
(

  'Area2block' => 'banners',

No, AutoBlocks are not "blocks", they are positions like left and right.
