PHP Functions

[Amdac]

I'm trying to get a slashdot newsfeed on my forum, I currently have require("slashdot.php"); and $slashdot=Slashdot(); in the php includes.

How do I call the php function from FORUMHOME? Using $slashdot doesn't work.

I've tested the script outside the forum and it works.

Thanks.

You'll be better of editing global.php. Although, saying that, i'm not sure why it wouldn't work in the phpinclude template...

PHP Code:

require_once('./slashdot.php');
$slashdot = Slashdot(); 


Try that instead

Still no luck

How do you normally add php code in vbulletin? It doesn't seem to work anywhere in the template.

Since PHP isn't parsed in the templates, you have to manually edit the files.

The best place to add your code would be global.php, above this:

PHP Code:

// parse headinclude, header & footer 


Line 493

I've just added it to the global.php file, the problem is I can't figure out how to call the function from a location in the index file, I can't do it the normal way.
