Inserting php block snippet into a standard node
I am creating a dynamic newsletter using the simplenews module and php block snippets. I've got the overall mechanics working well. I create the newsletter, say /newsletter/05-may-07 which has standard header and footer text which goes out to every person. Then my idea is to insert location-based content into it so that Jane from Texas sees "Last five members from Texas", "Last five posts from Houston", "Five members who go to your school" and so on. Chris from London would see different content. The problem I've hit though is that when I insert the block snippet into the node, choose PHP as input format and press "Submit", none of the content below the snippet shows. Here is my snippet: <?php global $user; $result=db_query("SELECT dru_users.uid, dru_users.init FROM dru_users WHERE (dru_users.uid = $user->uid)"); while ($u = db_fetch_object($result)) { $items[]=l($u->init, "user/" . $u->uid); } return theme('item_list',$items); ?> This is just a test snippet to test the concept....in a block, it shows the current user's e-mail address. It also does this in a node, but as I say, the rest of the content below this code doesn't come through. Any idea what the problem is?

Try it this way: <?php global $user; $result=db_query("SELECT uid, init FROM dru_users WHERE dru_users.uid = %s", $user->uid); while ($u = db_fetch_object($result)) { $items[]=l($u->init, "user/" . $u->uid); } return theme('item_list',$items); ?> I'm assuming your database tables have a prefix, thus the "dru_" before the "users" in the table name. BTW, sorry about the other post. I meant to close it and sent it instead. -- Jason Flatt http://www.oadaeh.net/ Father of Six: http://www.flattfamily.com/ (Joseph, 13; Cramer, 11; Travis, 9; Angela; Harry, 5; and William, 12:04 am, 12-29-2005) Linux User: http://www.kubuntu.org/ Drupal Fanatic: http://drupal.org/
Quoting Jason Flatt <drupal@oadaeh.net>:
Try it this way:
<?php global $user; $result=db_query("SELECT uid, init FROM dru_users WHERE dru_users.uid = %s", $user->uid);
while ($u = db_fetch_object($result)) { $items[]=l($u->init, "user/" . $u->uid); }
return theme('item_list',$items); ?>
I'm assuming your database tables have a prefix, thus the "dru_" before the "users" in the table name.
Wouldn't you want to use {users} for the table name including the { } pair? http://api.drupal.org/api/5/group/database Earnie
I'm getting exactly the same problem with that code too. Getting the information to show (in this case, just a simple e-mail address) is not the problem. I got that bit working with my original code. The problem is that the content stops at the point in the page where I post the php snippet. Everything before it shows and nothing after it. Why would that be? It's in standard php tags and the input format is php too. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Flatt" <drupal@oadaeh.net> To: <support@drupal.org> Sent: Friday, May 04, 2007 2:49 PM Subject: Re: [support] Inserting php block snippet into a standard node

Maybe I'm missing something in your question, but "return" is going to end reading of the file. If you want stuff after it, try print or echo. Laura On May 4, 2007, at 3:09 PM, Neil: esl-lounge.com wrote:

Yep, id agree use "print theme.... " not return. While you're at it---- SELECT uid, init FROM dru_users WHERE
dru_users.uid = %s
Should probably be %d (since uid is a number), and the DBQuery call has an appropriate syntax to To take any multi-site config into account.... SQL should read: SELECT uid, init FROM {users} WHERE uid = %d -----Original Message----- From: support-bounces@drupal.org [mailto:support-bounces@drupal.org] On Behalf Of Laura Scott Sent: Friday, May 04, 2007 3:01 PM To: support@drupal.org Subject: Re: [support] Inserting php block snippet into a standard node Maybe I'm missing something in your question, but "return" is going to end reading of the file.
