I want to create a news page. But I cannot get anything in the news_header template to display. What am I doing wrong?



news.php



<?php



error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

require_once('./global.php');

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

$globaltemplates = array('news','news_header','news_desc');

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]=='') {

print_no_permission();

} else {

$username1=ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9]", "_", $bbuserinfo['username']);

$myLength = strlen( $username1 );

if ($myLength > 15) {

$username = substr( $username1, 0, 15 );

} else {

$username = $username1;

}

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('news') . '");');

}



$item_title = "test1";



eval('$item_title = "' . fetch_template('news_header', 0, 0) . '";');



?>







news template



$stylevar[htmldoctype]

<html id="moooo" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">

<head>

<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - $pagetitle</title>

$headinclude

</head>

<body>

$header

$navbar

<table class="tborder">

<tr>

<td class="tcat" colspan="2">My Table</td>

</tr>

$news_header

</table>



$footer

</body>

</html>





news_header template



<tr>

<td class="alt1">$item_title</td>

<td class="alt2">Hello I am in your news header!</td>

</tr>

well you made a few mistakes

first: the $globaltemplates line has to be BEFORE the require global.php line

second: you news_heade variable is filled AFTER the actual page_output part, so of course it would not show anything

Wow - fast response - thanks!

I changed the news.php around:


<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
$globaltemplates = array('news','news_header','news_desc');
require_once('./global.php');
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');



$item_title = "test1";

eval('$item_title = "' . fetch_template('news_header', 0, 0) . '";');

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('news') . '");');
?>



Still doesn't print my item_title. Confused. :/

change
eval('$item_title = "' . fetch_template('news_header', 0, 0) . '";');

into
eval('$news_header = "' . fetch_template('news_header', 0, 0) . '";');

you are refering to $news_header in your newstemplate, not to item_title :)
