Need help...

[PixelFx]

I'm trying to get a copy of my vbhome page to load from a sub directly.

aka

vbhome installed in www.URLcom/root

but then make a copy of the vbhome index.php put it in a sub directory

example:

URL/dir/index.php
or
sub.url.com/dir/index.php

and have it load from the vbhome global in the www.url.com/root.

I've tried everything I can think of just about, but I'm still new to php so wondering if you guys can make a suggestion, I've been stumpt by this for 3 days now.

basically vbhome has a way to do multi home pages, which is cool if your pages.php are in the same directy as the vbhome root.

I can get that to work fine, but the min I tried to do the same in a sub directory nothing works and I get lots of errors.

Does this make sence?

I've tried,

require_once( "../../global.php" );
require_once( "./global.php" );
require_once( "url/global.php" );

etc nothing worked...

I'm guessing I'm just missing something simple, but need help ...

I've tried for the last week at techwizards, but Teck is closing that site august 1st, and the place seems to be a bit of ghost town, with people waiting for vb3.0...

:(

:( vb2 is dying here aswell :( the majority are stayng on 2 i think i know i am ! my site has got too many small hacks that i cant even remember so i woodnt upgrade risking a loss of things :(

[PixelFx]

it will be interesting to see how many hacks and how fast they come out once vb3.0 comes out, however, I could really use some help to figour the above out ;)

Try using the absolute path...

"/home/sitename/public_html/dir/include_file.php"

If you only want one copy of the file and are using Linux create a symbolic link to it:

cd /path/to/page.php
ln -s /path/to/global.php ./global.php

[PixelFx]

ntlr how would I write that?



require_once( "ln -s /path/to/global.php ./global.php" ); ?



thank you for your help

[NTLDR]

You need to do that on the Linux command line via SSH.

Just change the path to global.php to match where it is on your server :)

NTLDR I tried the SSH above, nice, I need to learn SSH better :), however

When I tried it it gave me this error

Warning: main(./forum/admin/config.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /home/sku/public_html/global.php on line 744

Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening required './forum/admin/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/sku/public_html/global.php on line 744

below line 744



// +--------------------------------------------------------------
// | Initialize script
// +--------------------------------------------------------------
require_once( './' . $adminpath . '/config.php' );



I can't change the global as it would effect the rest of my site.

any ideas?

thank you

Ah yes, I forgot that global.php included some other files.

If you set $adminpath to the full path to the admin directory and then change the require lines to:

require_once($adminpath . '/config.php' );

(ie remove the: './' . at the start)

This should allow it to work on all the pages.

WOOT!!!! thank you got it..

I had to change the requred path in the vbhome global.php for a few other $adminpaths to get it to work. since it would chance my vbhome home to work... next to getting art to link up and style ..

I had to change


require_once($adminpath . '/db_' . $dbservertype . '.php' );


and


require_once($adminpath . '/functions.php' );


in the vbhome global to get it to work.... drools... I've been trying to figour this out for almost a week now..

the ssh really helps.. thank you :)
