you will still need to do a little PHP to get anything accomplished

you may try
include() http://us3.php.net/include/
require() http://us3.php.net/require/

PHP Code:


			
switch($page)
{
case 'index':
require('welcome.php');
break;
case 'news':
require('news.php');
break;
default:
require('the file you want');
break;
}

good luck

Hi Princeton

Could you help me out here please?

I am trying to add my rules link into the menu but i keep getting

Code:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/bashy/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3537) : eval()'d code on line 181

Here is what i have done

Code:

<if condition="$show['popups']">        
        <td id="navbar_tools" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="rules.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[help]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_tools"); </script></td>
<else />
        <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[faq]</a></td>
</if>

And

Code:

<!-- gt custom start -->
 <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_tools_menu" style="display:none">
        <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
        <tr>
            <td class="thead" nowrap="nowrap">$vbphrase[need_help]</td>

        <tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option" title="$vbphrase[rules]">
            <a href="rules.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[rules]</a>

        <tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option" title="$vbphrase[faq]">
            <a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[faq]</a>
        
        <tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option" title="$vbphrase[gtcustom_sitemap_header]">
            <a href="goto.php?section=sitemap$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[gtcustom_sitemap_header]</a>

        <tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option" title="$vbphrase[gtcustom_privacy_header]">
            <a href="goto.php?section=privacy$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[gtcustom_privacy_header]</a>

        <tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option" title="$vbphrase[gtcustom_terms_header]">
            <a href="goto.php?section=terms$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[gtcustom_terms_header]</a>
            </td>

I don't see nothing wrong.
Upload your complete template (txt format) and I'll take a look.

Im sorry..i didnt really understand what you meant here.

Princeton · #66 04-25-2006, 12:29 PM

thx princeton

SupremeWeapon · #68 04-30-2006, 03:18 AM

so ummmm can you make the README more.. understandable?

Quote:

Let's Create A Custom "About Us" Page:

1. In your favorite editor, create the contents of the page. HTML is allowed.
2. When you finish with the contents of the page, create 2 phrases (an optional subtitle is available).
* "gtcustom_about_header" - title of custom page
* "gtcustom_about "- contents of custom page
* "gtcustom_about_subtitle" -optional subtitle for custom page; the subtitle (table cell) will only display if it's created
3. That's it! Now, go visit the page via URL: $vboptions[bburl]/goto.php?section=about

k I got my stuff done in my favorite editor.. the phrases are done. So what do i do witht he page I just made in my favorite editor?

at this point im just staring at it because thats all your directions state. there is no directions on HOW to get th epage IN

Princeton · #69 04-30-2006, 01:20 PM

you would add it to your "content" phrase

in the example you quoted ... it would be
"gtcustom_about "- contents of custom page

if you want to edit the template you can ... just edit the "custom_mypage" template

SupremeWeapon · #70 04-30-2006, 01:21 PM

k, I see what you mean.

anyway to remove the right side boxes?

Princeton · #71 04-30-2006, 01:51 PM
