vb3 new php file

[Logikos]

So on my older version board i had a few extra php files added on such as rules.php and inside rules.php i had this:

<?php
$templatesused.='mytemplate';
require('./global.php');
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("site_rules")."\");");
exit;
?>

But when i try to use that for vb 3.0.0 i get this error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gettemplate() in /home/hazelboy/public_html/forums/rules.php on line 4

So how do i get that template to show up?

Because vb3 uses a new function to get templates :)

fetch_template?

It's something like that. But practicly all the functions have been renamed :)

Indeed the core ideas have changed from vB2 to vB3. I suggest looking at index.php (or whatever you have the forumhome script defined as) and modelling yours after that.

I got it :)


<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'myfile');

// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array();
// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array();
// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array(
'my_custom_template'
);
// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array();

require_once('./global.php');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('Custom_template') . '");');
?>

It's very different, isn't it. :)

not when you only know a little bit of php and your used to vb2.
and dont have the time to learn because your to busy working or going out :(

[filburt1]

The vB3 way is much better...it has good PHP programming practices (and general programming practices) as compared to vB2. Now you know what error_reporting(7) actually means, for example :)

I cannot wait til Teck rewrites the microstats hack :) It will be great for vB3. Also does anyone know the query loads, or know how to view the query loads for vb3? I know in vb3 they had the showqueries variable which allows you to see. Not sure for vb3

[Dean C]

You don't need microstats for vb3 :)! Turn on debug mode whilst your testing and you'll get loads more info :)

IIRC the query count is about 9 on forumhome and drastically reduced on other pages as well.

Look around in DB_mysql.php, it should be maintaining a counter there.

I agree vb3 is much better in the coding i might say. Its just going to take a little getting used to thats all :)

Wheres the option for that cause all as I'm doing right now is getting queries.

For Just Queries:
$GLOBALS[query_count] Queries

Put that in the footer and you get your queries

[Dean C]

Add $debug = 1; into your config.php file :) ^^

[SmEdD]

Someone should set that up so only the admin can see it.

I didn't need also microstats in VB2 since it was there the info also...
However, for those who need microstats for VB3, I release it about a month ago... and is better then the VB2 version.
