I recently switched from the stand alone version of roster to the DF version. I have a question about pulling the realm status into a seperate block. Withe the standalone version I could use

Code: Select all

<img src="http://www.kalimdortribe.com/Roster/realmstatus.php">

but now with the DF version would i just specift the path to the new file or is there something else that needs to be entered for it?

Thanks in advance for the help

Here is my block code for DF realm status change the Whisperwind hardcode

Code: Select all

<div align="center"><A HREF="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/realmstatus">
<img src="/index.php?name=WoWRosterDF&file=realmstatus" border="0" alt="Whisperwind Status"/></A></div>

I had a totally different approach to this problem.
I kept getting a blank block with all the above links.

So what i did.. I ripped a block code and made it my own

Code: Select all

<?php

if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {
    Header("Location: ../index.php");
    die();
}

  $content .= "<center><img src=\"http://my.website.location/roster/realmstatus.php\" alt=\"WoW Emerald Dream Server Status\" /></center>";

?>


Note that this works for EU servers.
and you can change the CENTER tags to DIV if you like

Thanks for that piece of code. It worked for me using DF 9.1.2.1.
I had to use the code below though. Notice that my install of dragonfly is not in the root.

Code: Select all

<?php
/*********************************************

********************************************************/

if (!defined('CPG_NUKE')) { exit; }

$content .= "<center><img src=\"http://your.website.location/dragonfly/modules/WoWRosterDF/realmstatus.php\" alt=\"Your Server Status\"

/></center>";

Also notice there is no ending php tag. This is the way of all the blocks I
have looked at.

If you want to do this for your self then the easiest way if you do not
have an editor is to use notepad to create the above code and save it as
block-Realm_Status.php.
Then upload it to your blocks folder of your
dragonfly installation.
You can then go in to admin and then blocks and pick it up from the
Filename drop down box, give it a Title, and change other options as
needed. Press the Create Block button.

Hope that helps,

Thanks secretone, that worked great. One change if you are not using LEO then the URL needs to be formatted like

Code: Select all

$content .= "<center><img src=\"http://your.web.site.location/index.php?name=WoWRosterDF&file=realmstatus\" alt=\"Your Server Status\"

Your most welcome, you code has also helped me understand how to call
other stuff in other modules, so thank you
