Include php page

[Tom McConnell]

Example above:

{vb:raw globalHeader}

This is put in the vb "footer" template:

{vb:raw myname_footer}

Plugin code above:

PHP Code:

ob_start();
  include("../header.php");
  $globalHeader = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
 
$preRegister['globalHeader'] = $globalHeader;
vB_Template::preRegister('header', $preRegister); 


Plugin code in my plugin named "myname_footer":

PHP Code:

ob_start();
  include("../header.php");
  $myname_footer = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
 
$preRegister['myname_footer'] = $myname_footer;
vB_Template::preRegister('footer', $preRegister); 


Notice last line template name change.
Change "myname_footer" to what you like.

hi tom, i'm confused by your post - i'm trying to do a header include

[grimwolge]

ob_start();
  include("../header.php");
  $myname_footer = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
 
$preRegister['myname_footer'] = $myname_footer;
vB_Template::preRegister('footer', $preRegister);

What file, or where? does this get inserted into?

When I was running vBulletin 3.x it went into global.php

But now that i've upgraded to vBulletin 4, I don't know where that code goes.

Thanks

Nick

Hi guys.

Trying to get some php code into my forum to get it to display the frontpage slider.

I've done this.

PHP Code:

ob_start();
   include('ss.php');
   $slider = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

$preRegister['slider'] = $slider;
vB_Template::preRegister('forumhome', $preRegister); 


Still can't get it to display at all!

What am i doing wrong?

Just noticing the obvious error, but the name of the template is not forumhome, it is FORUMHOME.

Still doesn't work.... Ok,

So let's start from scratch.

I have this.

PHP Code:

?php
// START of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
    $nameOfSlideshowToDisplay = "myslideshow";                     // Enter the name of your slideshow. Slideshows are in folders inside /fpss/slideshows/.
    $URLofyoursite = "http://www.******.com";                         // Enter your site's URL.
    $AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite = "/***/***/public_html";        // Enter the root path of your site on the server.
    
    // do not edit below this line
    include_once($AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite."/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php");
// END of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
?> 


It tells me I should put this where I wish for it to call for the frontpage slideshow. I'd like it just below the navbar. But I can't put PHP in the template. So I've taken that above code and saved it as ss.php.

So I've gone into add plugin, and done the following.

PHP Code:

ob_start();
   include('ss.php');
   $slider = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

$preRegister['slider'] = $slider;
vB_Template::preRegister('FORUMHOME', $preRegister); 


I've then saved the plugin and gone into FORUMHOME and entered

PHP Code:

{vb:raw slider} 


I still have nothing appear. Hopefully with this full view of what I've done, you may be able to assist me in getting this working as It's getting annoying now!

Change "myname_footer" to what you like.
