Hi people

I found this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>$bbtitle - About</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header
Your code here!!!!!
$footer
</body>
</html>

And make the new file about.php:

<?php
error_reporting(7);
require("./global.php");
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('aboutmain')."\");");
?>

and used it to run a new page that I have created. The new page comes up ok but absolutely no content (I did change the template names accordingly).
Also, I would like to have it read the names of some other templates that are used within, can anyone shed some light please?

Not sure I understand what your saying for this part ;)

And try c-prompts extra page driven by forum templates hack to do this if you haven't allready seen it :)

Hi NTLDR

Thanks for the reply!

Regarding:

I have found that custom templates (bits not complete pages) have to be called also?

I have searched for the recommened therad in the hacks db but nothing came up (I also tried combinations etc., and have also searched on c-prompts in the members db in the hopes that, like yourself, there would be a libnk in the sig but both searches came up empty.

diades - your code should work, as long as you name the custom template correctly - make sure the name is "aboutmain". Make sure "aboutmain" is in the all your templatesets especially your default templateset.

Hi Erwin

"Make sure "aboutmain" is in the all your templatesets especially your default templateset."

I actually have this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>$bbtitle - About</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header
$mainscript
$preloads
Your code here!!!!!
$footer
</body>
</html>

where the two lines in yellow are also custom templates(bits)
And links.php3:

<?php
error_reporting(7);
require("./global.php");
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('links')."\");");
?>

It is called with:
"{forumlink}/links.php3?s=">
where links is the master page template.
I am only using it on one template at the moment to get it operational but, yes, I will naturally spread it accross when it is.

Hi Guys

Would it help if I posted the script/markup that I am actually using?

If $mainscript and $preloads are templates being called, you need to define these variables in the php file using dooutput.

Hi

No luck so far!

We found c_prompts hack eventually and, after trying mine to no avail, I decided to use that hack verbatim the only difference being:
Privacy Test as content
all that I get is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

We are running 2.2.7 if that makes any difference
