Geeklog Forums

Im trying to create a php function function - and I seem to be chasing my own tail - from the blovk creation admin page if I fill in the section PHP Block Options Block Function:
I get the following error message

"Bad Block Title Your Title must not be empty and cannot contain HTML! "
If I try filling in the title I get an error saying the normal block contents must be filled in.

How do I create a php_function block?
Can I create the block at runtime with an api call?
can I have my own version of /path/to/geeklog/system/lib-custom.php

ie /path/to/geeklog/plugin/myplugin/lib-custom.php and store the functions there?

Thanks

That is where they go. You create a function like phpblock_myblock() in lib-custom.php. Then you use that function name in the block form.

For future reference: What are the different block types for?

Sorry you have misunerstood I cant create one in the first place as if I fill in just the php function name for the block it insists on me giving it a title and if I give it a title it insists I then have to fill in the normal content block.

The reason I asked about lib-custom is Id prefer to have my plugin code self contained if thats possible.

Apologies its my error I misunderstood the interface.

It's perfectly okay for a plugin to have its phpblock_ functions in functions.inc since they will usually not work without the plugin anyway.
