template driven pages

[hollyboy]

where do I have to copy that?
Sorry not very confident with php

[Boofo]

Put it instead of this:

PHP Code:

$navbits[lastelement] = "The Foo Page"; 


or whatever else you used for that line.

I don't know what u r talking about...
My code is this one:

<?php

// GO TO FORUM DIR
chdir('/full/path/to/forum/directory');

// STANDARD VBULLETIN STUFF
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'script_name');
require_once('./global.php');

// GENERIC_SHELL VARS
$pagetitle = "Title of Page";
$HTML = ""; // PIECED TOGETHER IN SCRIPT

eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('name of template') . '";');

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('GENERIC_SHELL') . '");');

?>

?>

Put the code I gave you right BEFORE this line:

PHP Code:

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('GENERIC_SHELL') . '");');

Here's what I use for my rules.php file:

PHP Code:

<?php

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'rules'); // change this depending on your filename
// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array(

);

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array(

);

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array(
    'rules'
);

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array(

);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

// #######################################################################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// #######################################################################

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Forum Rules';

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('rules') . '");');

?>

[hollyboy]

now I get this http://www.interfans.org/forum/rules.php?

What is in the template you're trying to call?

[hollyboy]

I have to put the rules of my forum, but I don't know how.

?>

That's the way I laid out my templates (per Gary W's method) and it worked perfectly. :]
