Description and Message
Hi guys,

I am trying to implement a modification in the portal and for that - I need a PHP script to fill me a table in the center of the portal. I am trying to modify the following file:
portal_root/styles/acidtech/template/portal/block/announcements.html
But it doesn't want to execute ANY PHP script inside. It executes the HTML part and just does not run the PHP one. The script is tested and it's working correctly. But that's not the issue, id doesn't want to execute even phpinfo(); for testing purposes. No PHP code is executed from this file. Does anyone know why?

That's because phpBB does not execute PHP code inside HTML files. Maybe this helps you:
viewtopic.php?f=21&t=310

[xTz]

Oh, okay, thanks. I got it already fpr the block, this just helps me create it the right way. But, it still does not solve the issue with the PHP code
Any way to override that?

[Marc]

I updated the article for Board3 Portal 1.0.5:
knowledge/kb_show.php?id=51

Wouldn't do me any good, I've already done that the updated way, but thanks for the efforts anyway.
It appeared, that what I needed is described here:

Did you take a look at the bottom part where I tell you how you execute PHP code for your block?

Anyhow, if the PHP Code writes the table and you don't know how to write it for phpBB, it's probably better if you do it the way it is described in that link.

[xTz]

Yes, I did. And yes - the PHP code writes the table. I guess it is possible to be done in your way, but then it has to be done the phpBB way - setting template variables etc., which seems to be a lot of work for what I need to be done
