Probably. But without knowing the code for it, we can't tell you how.

Looks like you would need something like:

Code Select


global $sourcedir;

require_once($sourcedir . '/sbox.php');

sbox_display();

Put this in a php block.

This is completely untested. It's just what I would try first if I was going to do what you want to do.

Code Select

// display shoutbox
 if (function_exists('sbox')) sbox();

thats how i used to call it on to another page just out that in a phph box
