I'm a relatively experienced PHP-programmer, and I'm just now figuring out how the whole template system can be used on pages that are non-vB. But I've come up against a complication...
Every time I try to move a custom-made file that uses global.php out of the root vB directory, I get problems. Even after going through global.php, sessions.php, functions.php, and config.php -- which are the other required files that come along for the ride -- and changing all the relative filepaths to absolute ones, I just get a blank page.
It makes it rather difficult to add new files outside of the directory, say, in a home page. If you leave the file in the root directory and then use it as an include on another php page, you still get the same problems. Ideally, I'd like to set up a subdirectory called "modules" under the forums directory, and just include the files I need as the occasion arises.
I've searched this board for an answer to this -- what am I missing?
