$block_downloads .= "- <a href="https://www.contentteller.com/download.php?det=$insert[download_id]">$insert[download_title]</a><br />"; 

should be:

$block_downloads .= "- <a href="https://www.contentteller.com/download.php?det=$data[download_id]">$data[download_title]</a><br />";

latest blocks on right columns

Hi. I'm trying to set up a top 10 downloads in the left side column using info from this thread. my site_header template looks like this,

<?php
global $insert;
dbconnect();
$block_downloads = "";
$result = DBQuery("SELECT * FROM esselbach_st_downloads WHERE download_hook = '0' LIMIT 10");
while ($data = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$block_downloads .= "- <a href="https://www.contentteller.com/download.php?det=$insert[download_id]">$insert[download_title]</a><br />";
}
$EST_TEMPLATE = <<<TEMPLATE
<!-- Template site_header -->

and i added $block_downloads to the html section of site_header where i want it be but all that is showing up is the individual dashes for the listings. what am i doing wrong here? thanks

For the forums try the following:

$block_forums = "";

$bbdata = BBGetTopics();
for($t = 0; $t < count($bbdata); $t++)
{
$datasplit = explode("||~||", $bbdata[$t]);
$block_forums .= "- <a href="https://www.contentteller.com/$datasplit[0]">$datasplit[1]</a><br />";
}
dbconnect();

and $block_forums in the HTML part.

Here an example for reviews, news and downloads. Forums will follow later.

Add in the PHP part of site_footer the following:

dbconnect();

$block_review = "";
$result = DBQuery("SELECT * FROM esselbach_st_review WHERE review_hook = '0' AND review_page = '1' LIMIT 10");
while ($data = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$block_review .= "- <a href="https://www.contentteller.com/review.php?id=$data[review_id]">$data[review_title]</a><br />";
}

$block_news = "";
$result = DBQuery("SELECT * FROM esselbach_st_stories WHERE story_hook = '0' LIMIT 10");
while ($data = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$block_news .= "- <a href="https://www.contentteller.com/story.php?id=$data[story_id]">$data[story_title]</a><br />";
}

$block_downloads = "";
$result = DBQuery("SELECT * FROM esselbach_st_downloads WHERE download_hook = '0' LIMIT 10");
while ($data = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$block_downloads .= "- <a href="https://www.contentteller.com/download.php?det=$insert[download_id]">$insert[download_title]</a><br />";
}


Now you can use $block_review, $block_news, and $block_downloads in the HTML part of the template.

Yes, everything is possible. Which block like you display on the right side?

Not without some heavy modifications.
