Need Static Template help....... bad

First, I'm a code dummy.......

I've been attempting to follow this seemingly simple -TEMPLATE- in order to create vB template driven pages.

I think I'm struggling with calling the right variables.

I created a rules.php file in my root dir (my forum sit in root/forums). Here is where I'm at:

Code:

<?php 



//+GO+TO+FORUM+DIR 

chdir('./forums'); <-- Problem



//+STANDARD+VBULLETIN+STUFF 

define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS',+1); 

define('THIS_SCRIPT',+'rules');    <-- Problem

require_once('./global.php'); 



//+GENERIC_SHELL+VARS 

$pagetitle+=+"Title+of+Page"; 

$HTML+=+"";+//+PIECED+TOGETHER+IN+SCRIPT 



eval('$HTML+=+"'+.+fetch_template('forums/static/forum_rules')+.+'";');  <-- Problem



$navbits+=+array();+ 

$navbits[$parent]+=+'Meganman';+ 



$navbits+=+construct_navbits($navbits);+ 

eval('$navbar+=+"'+.+fetch_template('navbar')+.+'";'); 

eval('print_output("'+.+fetch_template('GENERIC_SHELL')+.+'");'); 



?>

I put my script in the root dir, and when I run it I get:

Quote:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/adkhighp/public_html/rules.php on line 8

I highlight places I think may be wrong, but I'm not sure. Not sure what error message means, or how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

fetch_template('forums/static/forum_rules') <-- This line calls the php doc i created that I want displayed in the template.

If your script is already in your forumhome directory, then there is no need for a chdir.

Also on line 8, the + shouldn't be there:

PHP Code:


		
			
define('THIS_SCRIPT','rules');

Lol, reading your post a bit more, you got + signs everywhere. Looks like you replaced avery space with a plus.

LOL, No that must have been a copy/paste error or something.

The exact code (copied from the server)

Code:

<?php 



// GO TO FORUM DIR 

chdir('./forums'); 



// STANDARD VBULLETIN STUFF 

define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1); 

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'rules'); 

require_once('./global.php'); 



// GENERIC_SHELL VARS 

$pagetitle = "Title of Page"; 

$HTML = ""; // PIECED TOGETHER IN SCRIPT 



eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('forums/static/forum_rules') . '";'); 



$navbits = array();  

$navbits[$parent] = 'Meganman';  



$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);  

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";'); 

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('GENERIC_SHELL') . '");'); 



?>

And it is still getting the same error

I just tried, but get no error.

Figured it out, Thanks Marco (I took the link out, as the error code is now gone).

I'll post results for anyone with a similar issue. It's easier than I thought, took a different approach though. First, I took the basic code from the this posted -TEMPLATE-

Code:

<?php  



// GO TO FORUM DIR  

chdir('./forums'); <-- Removed (step 1)



// STANDARD VBULLETIN STUFF  

define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);  

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'script_name'); 

require_once('./global.php');  



// GENERIC_SHELL VARS  

$pagetitle = "for_rules";  <-- Changed to custom name

$HTML = ""; // PIECED TOGETHER IN SCRIPT  



eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('for_rules') . '";');  <-- Changed to custom name



$navbits = array();  

$navbits[$parent] = 'Forum Rules';  



$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);  

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');  

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('GENERIC_SHELL') . '");');



?>

First I removed the {chdir('./forums');} line as Marcho suggested and than changed the other highlighted section to my custom name. Then I saved the file as rules.php in my root forum directory (if you do not save it there any images called on by your vbulletin main.css get lost)

Then I went into vBulletin admin panel;

Styles & Templates --> Style Manager --> Template Options (Add New Template)

and then created a basic html table;

Code:

<table width="675" border="1" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="665714">

  <tr>

    <td bgcolor="#797b56">

<div align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF" size="3" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>ADKHighPeaks 

        Forum Rules</strong></font></div></td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

    <td bgcolor="#edebd4"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Added my own bogus text</font></td>

  </tr>

</table>

Then saved it as for_rules

That gave me -THIS- , which is exactly what I was looking for.
