[tip] Never underestimate the power of the phpinclude template

[Tony G]

phpinclude is good for easy upgrading, but several hacks won't work through it. So depending on what hacks you use depends on if you can use phpinclude or not. Some are possible but alot harder to port.

Can I use phpinclude to include a PHP page that is also dynamically generated from another database of the same local mySQL?

Is it part of the vB at all?

this is very interesting to me but my being a retard I have no idea how to go about utilizing this idea.

if you wouldn't mind helping the mentally challenged....would you tell me how you would make the quick reply hack by FireFly hack work by using the phpinclude template?

I chose this hack to ask about because if someone could explain how to make this one work your way...I believe I could figure out how to do all og the others I use.

thank you in advance

If you're interested, take a look at this:

It makes phpinclude mods code a whole lot easier to mod. Hope it helps.

I am making a classifieds area on my site but instead of hacking to do this I am using the existing forum scripting to accomplish it.

however...I have made a page to show the classifieds categories on and want to order them on the page the way I think they should look rather then one under the other like the forum list.

anyway....can anyone help me with the code I would put into phpinclude to display the forum title then forum thread count and finally below that the forum description?

I have been trying many things but am aparently php stupid

thank you in advance

so how come this doesnt work then

if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {
eval("\$themeheader = \"".gettemplate("P_themeheaderLI")."\";");
}else{
eval("\$themeheader = \"".gettemplate("P_themeheader")."\";");
}

yet works fine on the vbportal front end (remembering that vbp and vbb both use same user logged in details and in this case both use the same header pages)
