Php in templates

[blueuniverse]

Basically, I want the function to be able to use PHP in the template system.

Would anybody be able to do this?

vb docs explains it all.

Ok, so if I had a load of code, that I wanted to be displayed on one page only, I'd have to include it on every page?

No. Use a templateconditional in the form of:
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == bla">include(foo.php);</if>

No. Use a templateconditional in the form of:
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == bla">include(foo.php);</if>
You cant do that, and you cannot use php in the templates, you need to hack the files :)

[blueuniverse]

So is there, absolutely no way to do it at the moment. If there isn't, would anybody be kind enough to make a hack?

[Andreas]

As already said, you can't use PHP in templates (except a few functions in <if ...>-statements.

What you can do is put code in phpinclude_start|end, you can also do this conditional by using


if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'foobar') {
// Do smth for that specific page
}


Modifying vB so it is possible to use PHP in templates generally is a bad idea due to security issues.

[blueuniverse]

Well, Zachery just said

You cant do that, and you cannot use php in the templates, you need to hack the files

It may be a bad idea security wise, but I do need to find some way of getting this code onto some pages (maybe not through templates) as I need the code to use the styles that the user has set.

[Andreas]

Hmm ... and what's the problem with putting the code in phpinclude_start?

[blueuniverse]

So in the PHP start template, I'd put what (if I had loads of code, where would it go in the code you gave me).


if (THIS_SCITPT == 'foobar') {
// Do smth for that specific page
}


It just seems weird having to put all the code for each page in the php include start template, when I only need it on one page.

[Andreas]

Well, the other option would be to edit the PHP file for that specific page(s).

What exactly do you want to do?

[blueuniverse]

Well, basically I have a links script. (shown here (http://www.blueuniverse.co.uk/links/))

The script is in the middle of the page, and I want this to be on my forums (http://www.rouseindahouse.com), using the template (header and footer) of the style my visitors are using.

[blueuniverse]

I don't want a new links script though, as I paid specially for a coder to do the one I have for me.

[Andreas]

Well, then i'd suggest you include global.php and create some custom templates for this script.
