custom html in #gkUpdates

Hi,
is it possible to use a custom html module in News2 #gkUpdates position?
I created one, but it doesn't show up (with or without the "Show last update date" option in template manager).
Thank you very much.
Regards

Please, anyone?
Thank you

Hi

You need to edit file /layout/blocks/updates.php and remove this:

Code: Select all

// Used helper function
if(!function_exists('gk_get_last_update')) {
   function gk_get_last_update($table, $column, $state) {
      $db = JFactory::getDBO();
      $date_query = 'SELECT '.$column.' FROM #__'.$table.' WHERE '.$state.' = 1 ORDER BY '.$column.' DESC LIMIT 1;';   
      $db->setQuery($date_query);
      if($dates = $db->loadAssocList()) {
         foreach($dates as $date) {
            return strtotime($date[$column]);
         }
      }
   }
}

// Basic variables
$final_date = 0;
$new_date = 0;

// get joomla created dates
$final_date = gk_get_last_update('content', 'created', 'state');
// check if any modify date isn't later
$new_date = gk_get_last_update('content', 'modified', 'state');
if($new_date > $final_date) $final_date = $new_date;
// the same for K2 if exist
if(file_exists(JPATH_SITE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_k2'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'route.php')) {
   $new_date = gk_get_last_update('k2_items', 'created', 'published');
   if($new_date > $final_date) $final_date = $new_date;
   // return the final results
   $new_date = gk_get_last_update('k2_items', 'modified', 'published');
   if($new_date > $final_date) $final_date = $new_date;
}

echo JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_UPDATE_DATE') . ' ' . date(JText::_('TPL_GK_LANG_UPDATE_DATE_FORMAT'), $final_date);

// EOF


with this:

Code: Select all

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="updates" />


Thank you very much! Solved!
Have a nice day
