###solved### global blocks problem with anynews - php include doesn't work

[Chaploo]

Hi,

I set up a multilanguage WB site (2.8.1 Rev 1287) with a news page for every language. In the right coloumn I want Anynews (1.16) to display the news headlines of the news of the currently displayed language. This is how I tried it:

- create a news page in every language, create a group for the news, create some news in every language
- create a newsbox.php page for every language with blank template and the code of anynews in it, aiming at the newsgroup of the current language
- in the index.php of the template I placed

Code:

<?php include (WB_URL."/erlebnisreisen/".strtolower(LANGUAGE)."/newsbox.php"); ?>

which should display the newsbox.php af the current language.

But it doesn't work. The newsbox.php isn't shown, no matter what the content is.
(If I call the newsbox.php directly by entering the URL in the browser, everything is ok)


Thanks for help & ideas
Jochen

Is the option "allow_url_include" allowed on this server?

Hi,

try to remove WB_URL from the line

[Chaploo]

Thanks for your replies!

@klaus
I contacted the provider (in this case it is not all-inkl.com who I usually chose, but faltbooster.com which the client insisted on), waiting for reply.

@crnogorac081
Unfortunately this didn't change anything.

You can check this yourself with the command phpinfo(); in a codepage.

Thanks, Klaus, and yes, you are right: allow_url_include is turned Off.
I mailed the provider If they can change it.

it's not necessary to allow URL_INCLUDE. To do this can open a big security hole.

The only thing you must do is: follow the WB-defaults and use this include:

Code:

<?php include (WB_PATH.'/'.strtolower(LANGUAGE).'/newsbox.php'); ?>

Remember: if you've installed WB i.e. under http://mydoma.in/erlebnisreisen/
so the global Constant WB_URL contains http://mydoma.in/erlebnisreisen and
WB_PATH contains i.e. /srv/www/htdocs/erlebnisreisen.

Sometimes it's much easier to think not too complicated..  

[Chaploo]

 /erlebnisreisen/ is just the new name for the former /pages/ folder.
So I tried

Code:

<?php include (WB_PATH.'/erlebnisreisen/'.strtolower(LANGUAGE).'/newsbox.php'); ?>

But unfortunately it didn't work at all, the page content wasn't even displayed from the line on where the include starts.


###EDIT###

I tried another webhoster, and with this one (all-inkl.com) it works! So after all it seems to be the allow_url_include problem Klaus mentioned.

Thanks for all your replies!
