What do you mean by "adding it to the template cache at the top of the page" ??

Thanks M8

I'm a bit confused by this also. Anyone?

Oh k. Finally i figured this out. I am such a n00b.

Ok,

You don't need to create a new custom template for this basic page stuff. You can have it display an existing template

If you're seeing the "all white"screen with the source:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

You're almost there.

The problem is probably your print_output line, you're probably printing a nonexistant template. Try using a template included with vb3 like GENERIC_SHELL. i.e.
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('GENERIC_SHELL') . '");');

Then if you want to get creative with a new custom template, you must add it using the vB3 admin control panel. Then when you fetch_template('newCustomTemplate') it will show up instead of the "white screen."

Someone want to confirm this?

rob

anybody have any idea with this one????

Post #195 all the way down at the bottom

thanks

Everything works right, but my images aren't loading. Anyone know why the images won't load when I try this?

I'm doing the appropriate changedir to reach the vB root.

Thanks,

Any help will be appreciated :) thanks.

What's your footer template look like?

You could just enclose your footer in a table.

Thanks,

bump.

Anyone?

Works great except the new page does not show up in the nav bar. Any ideas?

Hi,

I want to create a new custom page in the root directory of my website but I always get the errors below. What am I doing wrong here (I'm using vb 3.0.3) ?

Warning: main(./includes/init.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/autosurf/public_html/forums/global.php on line 18

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './includes/init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/autosurf/public_html/forums/global.php on line 18

Right now, I'm looking through the thread to see if it's there, but I want to include my homepage in the list of locations for currently active users. The problem? The homepage, like my forum homepage is also named index.php

So...

Homepage = www.livemockdraft.com/index.php
Forum main = www.livemockdraft.comforums/index.php

Is there a way to get the functions_online.php file to differentiate between the two?
