Topic:	Userpoints Block and XForum
fmahannah Pizzaman Posts: 43 Posted: Nov 11, 2004	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? Thanks!
Chestnut Site Admin Posts: 1320 Posted: Nov 11, 2004	My block always was on the right side and it was working when I was using the XForum... What is the error ? Chestnut ! Site Admin
fmahannah Pizzaman Posts: 43 Posted: Nov 11, 2004	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.
fmahannah Pizzaman Posts: 43 Posted: Nov 11, 2004	Can it be because I run the xforum block in the center and the new way you handle error storage?
fmahannah Pizzaman Posts: 43 Posted: Nov 11, 2004	I think it might be because the xforum block does an include once for settings.php and then the userpoints block does it again ....
fmahannah Pizzaman Posts: 43 Posted: Nov 11, 2004	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";
Chestnut Site Admin Posts: 1320 Posted: Nov 11, 2004	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. Chestnut ! Site Admin
