Can someone tell me what file and what code to change to activate the right side blocks on my website? Maybe show a clip of the code line I am not a big PHP expert :)

I read something about the theme.php file but I can not find it again.

You activate blocks in the blocks section of nuke. You can activate, deactivate, edit, delete, set left, right, or middle, and also which order they show.

Sorry :) I should have given more detail.

It appears that the right blocks have been disabled in the theme.
I activate them for right side and nothing shows.

I read in the docs that they can be disabled I think it was in the theme.php file or etc but I do not know what to look for. The example I saw was not detailed enough for me to pick the code out.

Unless you've changed theme.php then likely it's not a theme problem unless the person who created the theme never included the function to call the block on the right.

You need to add:

blocks(right);

to the following function at the end but before the last }

function themefooter()

Obviously it doesnt need to be in bold.

Yes I think the girl I paid to create the theme left the right blocks disabled for some reason.

I will check and see what I can find.

I'm hot and tired I just got back from having to review my 128 proofs :)
Now production can begin!

Thanks so much Moodville if I need any other info I will post it here.

I have checked all the codes like you say and they all seem to be set right?

function themefooter() {
global $index;
if ($index == 1) {
echo "

$\"\"$

\n";
blocks(right);

I ran a check on the nuke_blocks and all nuke tables and they check ok.

Not exactly sure why the right sided blocks will not show up?

Is it possible to set the width of a page so narrow that there is no room for the block too show? I'm not sure how this works.

Normally if it's too wide then it just spills over and you have a bottom scroll bar. It could be that the person who designed it set it up as a single left block design. You would have to talk to her about it or else change the width of the entire layout, which is basically redesigning the design.

Slightly off-topic, but you should really consider switching from PHP Nuke to a more secure fork (adaptation of the original PHP Nuke software). PHP Nuke is a security nightmare. Even if you patch your server regularly, you're still bound to get hacked, as my PHP Nuke installation did a few days ago. Postnuke and myPHPNuke are both security-enhanced forks of PHP Nuke worth considering. Unfortunately, your themes will require modification.
