Ok so I am making a custom vBulletin page using VB templates (used the article to make)

and the article said that to make a page inside a file you use.

if($_REQUEST['do'] == 'why') {
{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('VIP_WHY') . '");');
}


It should work providing you have a template called vip_why, which I do, however when I go to vip.php?do=why I just the the contents of vip.php and not what should be appearing.

I have placed the code after the ?> and there are no errors, it just doesn't appear.

Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thanks,

C

if($_REQUEST['do'] == 'why'){
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('VIP_WHY') . '");');
}

You have an extra { in your code.

Also, VIP_WHY is not the same template as vip_why.

Thanks for the replys..

@Seven Skins: That was a C&P error of mine, the file actually has

if($_REQUEST['do'] == 'why')
{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('vip_why') . '");');
}

@Lynne: Neither VIP_WHY or vip_why work even though the template is called vip_why

That line must be before any other print_output() call. That is what I think the error is.

Can you access any other PHP files, or do they all display contents? If so, does your host support PHP files? If yes, you will need to ask your host to configure PHP file type correctly for your account.

Why don't you post the code for your php page and your template here. Make sure to use the php/html code tags.

Okie Dokie here is the vip.php file.

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'VIP Memebership - All you need to know.';

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('vip_home') . '");');

if($_REQUEST['do'] == 'why')
{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('vip_why') . '");');
}

?>

Once you have an eval print_output, that's it. You need to have yours before the other one. Something more like this:
if($_REQUEST['do'] == 'why')
{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('vip_why') . '");');
}
else
{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('vip_home') . '");');
}
