Random Block does not show up

I have installed Gallery as a module, that works great ! I followed the directions in gallery/contrib and made the approriate changes to module.php, problem is that whne I add the Random block..nothing shows up.

Not sure that Info you need..ask and you shall receive.

Thanks

CMS? Not sure what you mean.

I'm running:

php-nuke 7.2
gallery v.1.4.4-RC1
the random block that comes with gallery...it's in the gallery dir
I am adding it though pnp-nuke admin...blocks

well...I copied the block-random.php from the gallery dir to the block dir, then went to the admin section, clicked on blocks, scrolled down and the selected Random from the drop down list, then hit add. I'm kind of new to php-nuke(hard to believe I know). This is the code:

ok but it has no instructions for php-nuke 7.2.....? and....

This is the current themesidebox function:

function themesidebox($title, $content) {
echo "<table border=\"0\" align=\"center\" width=\"138\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">"
."<tr><td background=\"themes/DeepBlue/images/table-title.gif\" width=\"138\" height=\"20\">"
."&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;<font color=\"#FFFFFF\"><b>$title</b></font>"
."</td></tr><tr><td><img src=\"themes/DeepBlue/images/pixel.gif\" width=\"100%\" height=\"3\"></td></tr></table>\n"
."<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"138\">\n"
."<tr><td width=\"138\" bgcolor=\"#000000\">\n"
."<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" width=\"138\">\n"
."<tr><td width=\"138\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">\n"
."$content"
."</td></tr></table></td></tr></table><br>";
}

do i change it to:

function themesidebox($title, $content)
if (@file_exists($content)) {
$fp = fopen ($content, "r");
$content = fread($fp, filesize($content));
fclose ($fp);
$content = "?>$content<?";
$content = eval($content);
} else if (eregi("^http", $content)) {
$fp = fopen ($content, "r");
$content = fread($fp, 65535);
fclose ($fp);
}

{
echo "<table border=\"0\" align=\"center\" width=\"138\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">"
."<tr><td background=\"themes/DeepBlue/images/table-title.gif\" width=\"138\" height=\"20\">"
."&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;<font color=\"#FFFFFF\"><b>$title</b></font>"
."</td></tr><tr><td><img src=\"themes/DeepBlue/images/pixel.gif\" width=\"100%\" height=\"3\"></td></tr></table>\n"
."<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"138\">\n"
."<tr><td width=\"138\" bgcolor=\"#000000\">\n"
."<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" width=\"138\">\n"
."<tr><td width=\"138\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">\n"
."$content"
."</td></tr></table></td></tr></table><br>";
}

Lastly I have no idea how to do thi slast part:

Then create an HTML block containing the following url (change the text in red to be appropriate for your server:
http://your.server/modules.php?op=modload&name=your-gallery-name&file=index&include=block-random.php

The instructions for postnuke .7 are what you need to look at. Postnuke is not 7.2, it's .72.

You don't need to change ANY code to use the random block. You just insert the one line into a Core-PHP block.

Where can I change this:

themesidebox() function ??
