sub pages from custom portal.
 
I have tried posting this question in the appropriate channels without the response so I'm hoping you coders can help.

This should be theoretically simple however I digress I'm not a coder and I can't resolve even a simple concept.

The task is to load sub_pages from smedd's portal and I want to do so without having to create additional php pages for each page I want to have. so, basically index.php?page=mypagename.

I'm ok with creating a page.php so that I can call out like page.php?do=mypagename etc.

I've gone through the API tutorial and while it partially works it uses the forum template not the index.php format.

Here is the code for my index.php
Code:

if ($shownewpm)
{
        eval('$footer .= "' . fetch_template('pm_popup_script') . '";');
}

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('smedd_index') . '");');
?>
I've tried adding:
Code:
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'ventrilo')
{
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('page_ventrilo') . '");');
}
but nothing happens (ventrilo is the example, and the templates name is page_ventrilo)

If possible what I would like to have is a piece of code in the page that would call out custom templates.. I know vbadvanced does this seamlessly but I don't want to run vbadvanced, just syndicate news and add my own content.

Can anyone offer a suggestion or 2 to point me in the right direction?

If you need, the context of the project is here so you can see what I'm working towards.

Kind regards,

Ryan

You don't say where you added that code - but remember that you can only call print_output once() - once you call that, the page is output and execution ends.

MjrGaelic 09-25-2007 12:42 AM
Thanks for responding Paul,

I placed the last bit of code at the end of the page before the final ?> as instructed in the tutorial I read.

How do I set the print_out to be dynamic so that I can generate URL's like page.php?do=mypage where mypage is a template.

Thank you dismounted, I'll try that this evenin when I get home. As I plan to add many pages to the site am I correct that I will be adding code for each page like:

Code:
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'ventrilo')
{
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('page_ventrilo') . '");');
}
else
{
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'page1')
{
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('page_page1') . '");');
}
else
{
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'page2')
{
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('page_page2') . '");');
}
else
{
and so on?

Dismounted 09-26-2007 06:45 AM
PHP Code:
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'ventrilo')
{
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('page_ventrilo') . '");');
}
else if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'page1')
{
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('page_page1') . '");');
}
else if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'page2')
{
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('page_page2') . '");');
}
else
{
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('smedd_index') . '");');
}

Use switch as opposed to multiple elseif's I'm pretty sure they work as expected in vB.

http://php.net/switch

MjrGaelic 09-26-2007 11:36 PM
Thank you Dismounted. For clenliness sake I've actually created a page.php and call the evals from there..

Opserty, what advantage is switch over what has been presented. I looked it over and it looked like I'd need a good sit down and a coffee to apply it.

Dismounted 09-27-2007 05:04 AM
Converted to switches :).
PHP Code:
switch ($_REQUEST['do'])
{
    case 'ventrilo':
        eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('page_ventrilo') . '");');
        break;
    case 'page1':
        eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('page_page1') . '");');
        break;
    case 'page2':
        eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('page_page2') . '");');
        break;
    default:
        eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('smedd_index') . '");');
        break;
}
