if i take that page and include it in our cms like the following i get that error.

<div>
<?php include '../community/cforumstats.php'; ?>
</div>

or if i add the code directly into the page like:

<div>
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// # DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'cforumstats');

// # REQUIRE BACK-END
$curdir = getcwd();
chdir('/home/***/public_html/community');
require_once('global.php');

// # START MAIN SCRIPT
$navbits = array();
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('cforumstats') . '");');
chdir($curdir);
?>
</div>


for an update, i saw in the german vbulletin forum someone had the same problem but i can't read german so i don't know if it was solved or not. it looked like they were talking about cookeis.

You should ask at the support thread/site of your CMS.

That is your answer, you have to remove the "../". PHP does not call directories like HTML or other languages do. Remove that small snippet and put your full root path and it should work :). Or at least that is my understanding, I remember when I transferred from HTML to PHP I was baffled at why my images and whatnot were not being displayed properly. I was told it was due to the ../ not moving directories as it does with HTML.

Should look like:

they'll tell me it's not their code causing the problem. i'll give it a try though.




no luck. same error. ;)

Which error(s) are you getting specifically? The same few on the first page?

first, thanks for everyone's replies so far. some boards will just ignore you or just tell you to move on. i appreciate everyone's input so far.

i get this error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function query_first_slave() on a non-object in /home/***/public_html/community/includes/functions.php on line 1368

That error usually occurs when vBulletin's global.php is included inside of a function.

so since it's not inside a function withing my cforumstats.php file you think the cms is executing a function to include that code maybe? did that make sense?

actually, it doesn't seem to work anywhere outside the forum directory. i don't get any errors when i try outside the cms but the page just won't load. i think it might have to do with the 'Product' i'm trying to call.
$cybtopstats == Cyb - Advanced Forum Statistics.

not sure why the developer keeps ignoring my questions when it says in the description that what i'm trying to do can be done and that it's a supported Mod.

Try adding this to the top of your headinclude template:

i seem to have this working anywhere outside the forum directory now.

it still won't work in the only place i need it though and that's the cms.

i'm guessing the cms is forcing it to be a nested function. is there anyway to get around the nested function thing?

thanks for stickin with me on this. :)
