Ok so Im lookin at the templates thinking woot im gonna make my own and everything then it hit me...

If I make template "A" lets call it. How the hell do I link to it If I dont want to include it on a current php file?

Am I going to have to make a php file?

No, you can use phpinclude. Install PAPI (see my sig) and then add this to phpinclude:

if (thisis("filename that will use the template"))
{
eval(makeevaltemplatecode("variable name with no leading dollar sign",
"template name");
}

Ok just wanted to make sure this is what i wanted to do its simple enough I think, just need to make a php file :)

OR is there a way to do this in the user groups area?

Check the site and click on roster and see how its mod'ed to show levels and names http://www.eqsanctum.com/oov


How about simply adding the contents ( image ) to the bottom of the roster?

Wait, what? What exactly are you trying to do?

Ok look at the postbit mod I made right? There is a list of skills in the game. Took a layout from a cgi program at http://www.guildtools.net its called EQdbman. The layout is a good idea. So ill just add a few moreprofile fields in the usercp area and then have them show up on a "skills" section. Thats what im trying to do

You just want to talk on AIM Filburt since we are both on?

Ok filburt PLEASE answer you have me doing circles now.

if (thisis("filename that will use the template"))
{
eval(makeevaltemplatecode("variable name with no leading dollar sign",
"template name");
}
=====================================
Ok one thing ata time im not a big code expert so bear with me.

("filename that will use the template")) = The new php file say
"skills" that im gonna make?


("variable name with no leading dollar sign",

????? I have no idea what you mean


"template name"); = The new template I will
have to make to be used in the new php file?

ok let me see if I got it right then.
Lets say the file would be skills.php.

And the new template I made with all the code in it would be
forum_skillsaddon. Am I correct in saying the php file skills.php I would make I would have to include something? *cringes*

Ok if all I want to do in the php file is include a recurring table if there are more then one and add the userinfo from the profile section how could I "simply" do this.

[filburt1]

We're talking about the phpinclude template, not a separate PHP file; if you want to use a separate PHP file you'll have to ask at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ .

OK wait.............
I can simply do this on a new template?


ok template name will be "sanctum" ( for example )

so now what????

Btw I have a working example of what I need over in this thread I think http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2728
