Hi !

I 'm looking to find a way to create a new block that will be possible to add it from cms...

But i would like to use a lot of things defined at forum.php

Is it possible to find a way of include them all? and not individually?

Thanks ;)

Maybe, I can help you.
Take a look here: http://www.icyphoenix.com/viewtopic.php?t=1213.
I have made a .php-file (blocks_imp_meeting.php) and upload it in {phpbb-root}/blocks
and a .tpl-file (meeting_block.tpl) and upload this in {phpbb-root}/templates/{template}/blocks.

Afterwards I have add the block to the cms and it workes.

I think you can definate {BOT_LIST} in a tpl-file in {phpbb-root}/templates/{template}/blocks.

Zuker at the moment I still don't have the time to create such a tutorial for Icy Phoenix.

Should be easiest for you to duplicate index.php or index_empty.php and add there the code needed for you.

It is not suitable creating big blocks, it should be better to add blocks to forum page in this case... :roll:

For the moment I can just state that you need to specify the global vars to be able to use them.

When I have some free time I'll try to create a block for the forum.

P.S.: you can have a look to ajax_chat block to see what I've done to include that page in a block. :wink:
