This is what I did

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'MANAGE');
define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);  
// change this depending on your filename

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array();

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array();

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array('manage_index',
);

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array();

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
// if your page is outside of your normal vb forums directory, you should change directories by uncommenting the next line
 chdir ('/home/hostcule/public_html');
require_once('./global.php');

// #######################################################################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// #######################################################################
if (!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7))) print_no_permission();

$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'Hosting Manager'));
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);

// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####
$pagetitle = 'Hostcule Manager';

// ###### NOW YOUR TEMPLATE IS BEING RENDERED ######

$templater = vB_Template::create('manage_index');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
print_output($templater->render());

?>

It went in after: Start Main Script.

Thanks but can't really see how it changed.

In the php page, test.php, after you include global.php, just include your script also - something like:

PHP Code:


		
			
chdir ('/home/hostcule/public_html');
require_once('./global.php');
include("offers/choice_ad1.php");

It should not have any output. If it does, then you need to assign it to a variable and then output that variable in your template where you want it.

I had done this and seperately set a variable but both print the output before that header of the page.

You need to look at the contents of that file. If it has any echo statements, then that is going to cause what you are seeing. You cannot use echo if you want to put the ads where you want them.

I think I might have suused the issue. When I put in custom variables it doesn't like them e.g

// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####
$pagetitle = 'My Page Title';
$pagead = 'trial';

Then in template add

{vb:raw pagead}

Nothing shows, but alter the standards and the standards work fine.

You need to register any variable for use in a template.

Registered the variable. What are the acceptable alternatives to echo as the print function also returns the same result?

instead of:

PHP Code:


		
			
echo "Hello World!";

use

PHP Code:


		
			
$outputvar .= "Hello World!";

Thanks Lynne,

I found the answer in another thread of yours on vbulletin.com and used the following which works a dream.

PHP Code:


		
			
ob_start();

  include('offers/accommodation.php');

  $pagead = ob_get_contents();

  ob_end_clean();
