FAP Pictures Blocks On Forum Index - Not Showing
-----------------------------------
Hi, 

I am trying to get the most recent pictures to show up on my phpBB2 index. I want it at the top under my header logo area.  

1.) I opened index.php for my anypage.php and inserted the code
2.) I opened overall_header for my anypage.tpl and inserted the code
3.) saved and ftp'd both index.php and overall_header.tpl

Nothing shows up. 

any help would be greatly appreciated. 

~Kay

Here are snippets of the code on both files

[code linenumbers=false]// Mighty Gorgon - Picture Blocks - BEGIN
$phpbb_root_path = './';
$album_root_path = $phpbb_root_path . 'album_mod/';
include($album_root_path . 'album_common.'.$phpEx);

//$album_config['img_cols'] = 4;
$cols = ($album_config['img_cols'] == 0 ? 4 : $album_config['img_cols']);
$cols_width = (100/$cols) . '%';

$catrows = array ();
$options = ALBUM_AUTH_VIEW;
$catrows = album_read_tree($album_user_id, $options);
$allowed_cat = ''; // For Recent Public Pics below
for ($i = 0; $i < count($catrows); $i ++)
{
	$allowed_cat .= ($allowed_cat == '') ? $catrows[$i]['cat_id'] : ','.$catrows[$i]['cat_id'];
}

album_build_recent_pics($allowed_cat);
album_build_highest_rated_pics($allowed_cat);
album_build_most_viewed_pics($allowed_cat);
album_build_random_pics($allowed_cat);

$template->assign_vars(array(
	'S_COLS' => $cols,
	'S_COL_WIDTH' => $cols_width,
	'TARGET_BLANK' => ($album_config['fullpic_popup']) ? 'target="_blank"' : '',

Instead of index.php try putttin the php code in includes/page_header.php

or 

You can put the tpl code in index_body.tpl 


Just depends on where you want the block to appear

thanks, I'll try that.

I have another minor glitch that started after I installed FAP.  

The quote button isn't working now when trying to post with a quote from someone else.  the bbcode of the quote button is messed up. 
I tried it on our old forum and the same thing happened there after installing FAP.

I think using page_header.php and overall_header.tpl is causing the problem (your other post) with your recent pics block on your album index. 

Try using index.php and index_body.tpl for the pic block mod

I was just about to ask if it could have something to do with page_header.php

I'll try the suggested changes and post results.
