I'm sure this has been posted may 'a' times but I'll repeat it for you

Use standard html

Code: Select all: <img src="path_to/realmstatus.php" alt="Server Status" />

Make sure you have realmstatus set to image mode in roster config

Well, Realmstatus has to work correctly in the first place inside Roster
And you have to listen to me as well

Make sure you have realmstatus set to image mode in roster config

If it isn't set to image mode, it will NOT work this way

I cant get this to work either, then again, I've never made a custom block.

What I did, was went to Blocks -> Add a new block:

1. I gave my new block a name, '[Servername] Server status'
2. copied "<img src="path_to/realmstatus.php" alt="Server Status" />" into the 'Content' box.
3. Made the new block active.

All I get now is a block called '[Servername] Server status' and inside all that is there is text that says "Server Status".

I did check, Realmstatus *IS* on image mod, i checked that 3 times, and it still doesnt show up.

Maybe its something wrong with the beta? I remember reading about it being fixed in the next version, but i dont know when thats coming out and the fact that you posted a 'fix' here suggests that it does work.

Any other ideas? Does the "<img src="path_to/realmstatus.php" alt="Server Status" />" need the <html></html> tags around it or anything? It shows up automatically in my Blocks list as HTML, and seems to be reading the code just fine, just not doing anything with it.

Edit: Also, the RealmStatus part of the WoW Roster itself works fine, but im trying to make it a block for my users as well (ie on the front page/sidebar). Will that even work? Maybe I'm misinterpretting making it a block...and thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanx in advance.

Honestly, its probably pathing issues
Seems like the nuke port is full of these issues

Code: Select all: <img src="path_to/realmstatus.php" alt="Server Status" />

thanks.. this is exactly the code I was looking for, took a bit of searching high and low, but I got it working easily.

yes, you can see mine here at http://thecorpguild.com/forum

remember to check your PATH, make sure it goes to the correct folder to retrieve the image.

Thanks. It worked or me

I just added the Div tags to centralize it. Looks a little tidier.

See it at http://www.justified.ninja-magic.com

Code: Select all: <div align="center"><img src="URL_to_Roster/realmstatus.php" alt="Server Status" /></div>

Hi Guys
I have tried all the above and still get the blank block.
I can confirm it is set as an image.
I have entered the following

<img src="roster/realmstatus.php" alt="Server Status" />

(realmstatus.php is located at www.xxxxxx.com/roster/realmstatus.php)

the image shows when I am creating the block but does not show on the site.

But still no image - I have tried all above but to no avail

Any ideas please

Hey fellas.

had the same problem with WowRosterDF 1.7.3.0 but i figured it out, and would like to share it with ya.

As before, create a block etc.

add this in the contents field:

Code: Select all: <div align="center"><img src="/index.php?name=WoWRosterDF&file=realmstatus" alt="Server Status"/></div>

and then create the block.

ding! you got a realmstatus block

If you want to make a link-to Blizzards realmpage, pressing the picture, then add this code:

Code: Select all: <div align="center"><A HREF="http://www.wow-europe.com/en/serverstatus/"> <img src="/index.php?name=WoWRosterDF&file=realmstatus" border="0" alt="Server Status"/></A></div>

Unfort I had the same problem when creating a block in nuke.
I ended up having to create the blank Server Status block... then go into the database itself and hack it into place. (Used phpMyAdmin to do it in other words)

This is just a problem with some people and phpnuke. Dunno if its due to the version of nuke or the version of php/apache on the hosting side.

I had the exact same issue, had to use phpMyAdmin. Using the editor in nuke deleted most of the code. After entering it directly into the database, everything works great. My assumption is that there is some code in nuke that checks for valid html and get's thrown by the fact that we're calling a php file as an image.
In case anyone was curious, here's my final code. Creates the picture, centered, with a link to the blizzard realmstatus page.

Code: Select all: <div align="center"><a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/realmstatus/"><img border="0" src="./Roster/realmstatus.php" alt="Server Status" /></div>
