Can anyone tell me why the XForum plugin only works in the userpoints block with no error if the block is left or center, not right? Rolling Eyes

Thanks!

My block always was on the right side and it was working when I was using the XForum...

What is the error ?

With the block on the right side it does not total the xforum posts and shows the error as seen at http://www.wwats.org

On the left side it works fine.

Can it be because I run the xforum block in the center and the new way you handle error storage?

I think it might be because the xforum block does an include once for settings.php and then the userpoints block does it again ....

That was it ... to fix it in the user points block I did this:

//include_once('modules/XForum/settings.php');
$table_threads = "nuke_XForum_threads";
$table_posts = "nuke_XForum_posts";

Nice catch... Wink

The include_once is mostly good if you are including a file that has functions.

The include_once will include those functions once even if it's the tenth inclusion.

Unfortunatly, the setting doesn't contains only functions but loose code...

That is why.
