hello, good day
well perhaps this is the wrong place to ask but i saw the pretty nice modules and blocks of pnconcept. So i decided to ask a request on a block - a centerblock which would be very helpful.
i am running a book-module for postnuke. It is called the pn-book, and i got it from the site here http://pn-mod-books.sourceforge.net
just want to know if it is possible to run a centerblock with this module.
I want to show more books than only one. Is it possible to show let me say 5 to 6 books
in a centerblock of this module. Like you can see it on the page http://www.preciogasolina.com - with the NukeAmazon-module.
there are the following blocks bundled within the postnuke-module, pn-books. The following ones:
randombook
i-topratedbook
i-lastbooks
popularxbooks
do you think that this is possible ? That would be supergreat! How should i hack a block to get a centerblock that fits the same behaviour like the block on http://www.preciogasolina.com
thanks for any help in advance.
Your Floobee,
here a code of the block that could be used for the hack - if you could give some guidelines or have some ideas that would be very good. I want to show 4 to 6 books in the centerblock! - is that possible.
Again - thanks for any help in advance!!

Hi Floobee and thanks for the nice words.
Is this still a need ? I just stumble on this : http://www.portalzine.de/Forum-t2867.html
So I figure you found it before I wake up.  |

hello Chestnut,
thanks for the reply.
thanks for the posting - it is still necessary. I am in need of such a center-block.
But i played around with the code and tried to figure out a solution.
i try to verify the hack-solution at the weekend - if it fails then i will come back to get some more infos.
in the meanwhile many thanks !!
