Adding Includes to a Block

Posted by Hipster on June 2, 2009 at 11:53pm

Hi, I have a quick question.
I'm trying to add an include inc.php to drupal site that pulls piece of code which is just simply bunch of links to a block. But when I create block and check php, I get some crazy error "warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /....common.inc(1645) : eval()'d code on line 1.

Does anyone know what I"m doing wrong and if there a page explaining the right way to add include to drupal block. Thank you.

Personally, I would not try to include a file through Drupal's PHP input filter. I've never even known this to work. You could just put the code from the .inc file into the Block's source.

Try following one...

<?php
$path = drupal_get_path('module', 'modulename');
require_once("$path/filename.inc");
?>

Adding Include To New Block

Posted by Hipster on June 8, 2009 at 10:12pm

I tried different methods to add include to a new block and nothing seems to work, either an error or plain code showing up.

Does anyone know how to put include file into a new block. Include is simply a list of links that are on outside site that I want to link to. It's being linked from various other sites so I need to update it only once. I'm trying to add

<?php
include("www.site.com/inc/links.php"); 
?>

to a block. Why does drupal is making everything so hard. It should be simple copy, paste and update. AHHH!

I'm sure there is a really way to do it it's just I'm just learning drupal and can't figure out the way to do it. Can someone please help. Thank you in advance.

I think Drupal re-wrote the 'include' function to point to the /includes folder. At least for drupal 6, so if you have links.php you can put them in /include/links.php and do this:

<?php
include("links.php");
?>

It should work..

EDIT: oops there was a typo. fixed it

Thank you.

Same problem here.

I have a similar problem. I'm trying to include a custom php script that fetches the latest posts from a forum and gallery I have on my site. I only need this solution as a temporary fix until I migrate the forum and gallery to Drupal, but for now i just need to retrieve and pull the data from each of these respective programs.

If I include the scripts in the /includes folder. I will need to hunt through all the scripts and find all references and other includes and update them. At least that's my understanding, plus I don't want to add custom include files to Drupal core as this will make upgrading a pain.

Is there anyway to use an include in a custom block?
