Put it in your forum root.

Nice, and what do you do if you want to have 3 columns in your page? Right now I had to create a table with 3 td, but I had rather avoid that

There is no reason you can't use a table if you don't want to use divs. But, if you want to use divs to make 3 columns, google is a great place to start. There are lots of sites that will show you how to use divs in place of tables.

Got your first reply. Sorry Lynne. I asked because I found you extremely helpful and because I could not find any places by vb to explain about the new css, until I saw that there were new templates.

Specially whatever you put in $stylevar does not necessarily gets implemented. So instead of thinking that they were bugs, I inquire first.

Lynne, so how would we call multiple templates for the same custom page and it actually work?

[Lynne]

You would do it as before, only use the new syntax. So, something like this:

PHP Code:

$pagetitle = 'My Page Title';

$foo = 'hello';
$bar = 'world';
$templater = vB_Template::create('first_template');
$templater->register('foo', $foo);
$templater->register('bar', $bar);
$my_variable = $templater->render();  


$templater = vB_Template::create('TEST');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('my_variable', $my_variable);
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('pagetitle', 'Test Page');
print_output($templater->render()); 


You would use {vb:var foo} and {vb:var bar} in your first_template to insert the variables $foo and $bar and then you would use {vb:var my_variable} in the TEST template to insert the output from $my_variable.

EDIT: I'm a fruitcake, damn pain pill is kicking my butt right now.

PHP Code:

$templater->register('my_variable', $my_variable); 


Missing that from my print_output area.

Thanks tho, at least I understand now.

Ok next question, I am reusing the same variable for different pages so I am not having a cluster of different variables within conditional statements. Right now it seems that is confusing me or its the meds, either way is it safe to say I can keep doing that or should I change it?

PHP Code:

$templater->register('display', $display); 


That var is what I am reusing for each page load of do=cat or do=file, etc. Do I need to change it to print_output or what?

Thank your tutor.

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
