Hello,
I have this imdb source that is working fine as in searching and fecthing information from imdb , anyway none of the files that the whole code is based on , i wasnt able to add on any of them the header and/oor footer of vb .
Am confused, whenever i try ti include the global.php and the header template they are parsed but my code is not, or vise versa !
here is a sample of one of the pages am trying to include a header and footer for ;

PHP Code:


			
<?



require_once("imdb_config.php");

require_once("imdb.class.php");



$conf = new imdb_config;

echo "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>cache</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>";

$movie = new imdb ("0");

if ($d = opendir ($conf->cachedir)) {

     while (false !== ($entry = readdir ($d))) {



      if (strstr ($entry, "Title")) {



           $imdbid = substr ($entry, 0, 7);

//                      echo $imdbid."<BR>";

           $movie->setid ($imdbid);

           echo "<a href=imdb.php?mid=";

           echo $imdbid;

           echo ">";

           echo $movie->title ();

           echo "</a>";

           echo " <a href=\"http://us.imdb.com/title/tt";

           echo $imdbid;

           echo "\">imdb page</a>";

           echo "<br>\n";



      }



     }

}

echo "</BODY></HTML>";

?>

any ideas ?
id like those file to have same theme as my forum !

Oh, i tried it using logician web templates hack , if i parse them using the template body as php , they show up alone , and if i parse them using his INCLUDE field ( he already stated the result there anyway) its parsed above the header .

Take a look at the vb tutorial section for how to create a vb powered webpage.

That will give you the tie in to use the vb header and footer to call a template.

You can add most of your script in to the body part of that tutorial but I think you'll need to strip out the echos and call that via the variable in the template.

Hope this helps. I am curious to see how this turns out.

I dug this up at sourceforge and installed it, it's pretty cool stuff. I don't have a real need to integtrate it into my board but like Reeve mentions, all the echos would have to be removed and the variables outputted to templates. Not a major task but still a pain, it wouldn't be too hard to integrate with a little time though.

Regarding webtemplates:

* Set parsing as HTML or TEXT (not PHP).
* Put your code into seperate .php file where view.php resides (eg. mycode.php)
* Use this code in your webtemplate's phpinclude field:

PHP Code:


			
ob_start();

include("mycode.php");

$my_code = ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();

* Then you can use $my_code variable to paste the content of your php file in anywhere you like in your webtemplate.

Hi guys,
thanks for your advices ,
regarding the first two replies , i tried to do that and since am not good at php i wasnt able to , and when i tried playing around , it returned variables messed up
Or it returned blank files !
Another thing , the cache file is one listed above , for example the imdbsearch file gets posted data ( method post in search box ) and the imdbsearch uses _GET ,
Adding global.php somehow stops the rest from being parsed and i dont know why !
As for logician suggestion i will try now , but logically speaking cache.php code (above code) will work but as for imdbsearch .php am confused if it will work because
example : imdbsearch.php?name=Rock ( is a sample of a posted request )
Logician templates will require | /forum/view.php?pg=test
So if i parse the search within it , how should i post the data to url ?
Is it possible logician ?
If its not , is there a way to just include the header to other sections of my website located outside of it !
The problem is i have many free sections outside my forum and movies search is one of them , i wish to include headers so users ( might be tempted to register ) and widen my users database !

Just an update ,
Logician advice made the cache.php work fine ,
But as i expected that wouldnt just work for the search.php !
imdbSearch gets variables from a post like :
<FORM ACTION="imdbsearch.php" METHOD=get>
 <p>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="name" SIZE=30 MAXLENGTH=50><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit">

Even if i included the imdbsearch in ob_start as above example
and changed the form to post name=pg and value=movies (for example )
And the link will show as view.php?pg=movies&name=rock (for example )
but the variable is not passed to the included moviesearch and will not be excuted .

Again my whole porpuse is to include the HEADER to a PHP file and making a VB page example using templates works when ur adding HTML page , anything including codes or php GET or POST will not be passed , unlike what i want .

Logician · #6 05-30-2005, 07:29 PM

define "$name" in the outside variables of your webtemplate so that webtemplate will not clear it.

lebanon · #7 05-31-2005, 05:19 PM

hello
how do u mean add it as an outside variable ?
name is what it gets from http get variable ...
oh why am speaking it , here is the code line

<?

require ("imdbsearch.class.php");

$search = new imdbsearch ();
$search->setsearchname ($HTTP_GET_VARS["name"]);
echo "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>search</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>";
$results = $search->results ();
foreach ($results as $res) {

echo "<a href=imdb.php?mid=";
echo $res->imdbid();
echo ">";
echo $res->title();
echo "(".$res->year().")";
echo "</a> ";
echo " <a href=\"http://us.imdb.com/title/tt";
echo $res->imdbid();
echo "\">imdb page</a>";
echo "<br>\n";
}

echo "</BODY></HTML>";
//echo $search->page;

?>

if you want check the normal excuted code at
http://www.tchatting.com/forum/imdbsearch.php?name=rock

when we create a web template the code new link will look like
http://www.tchatting.com/forum/view....arch&name=rock

The idea would be great if the results are passed within the template itself !

Screenshot will help

lebanon · #9 06-07-2005, 09:48 AM

sorry i havent replied this for a while, i had too much work , ill try your method again and let you know of my results , thanks again !

I was actually thinking about something like this just the other day.

I would like to know how this turns out

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
