If this were achievable, I should call you Chen2

I love the WebTemplates/Queries Hack as it is already!!!

BTW : I am working on a great Tutorials Design using it!

THX, see this as a nice example for If-Query in Mysql. That's print different Images...

select (sum(betrag)/69) as rest,if(((sum(betrag)/69)<12),repeat("<img src=""minusmax.gif"" alt=""Sponsormeter..."" name=""Sponsormeter"" id=""Sponsormeter"" border=""0"">",(sum(betrag)/69)),repeat("<img src=""plus.gif"" alt=""Sponsormeter..."" name=""Sponsormeter"" id=""Sponsormeter"" border=""0"">",(sum(betrag)/69))) as images from sponsoring

By the way good news: I really added a very nice feature to the new version. It now accepts outside variables from the user and process them inside webtemplates and more importantly in webqueries. So for example you can design a HTML forum which submits info to a webtemplate and the webqueries in this template will be formed dynamically according to the data your form sent. It seems to work fine in the alpha tests but I really need to work on it a little more. It's really a tricky feature but introduces truly amazing number of possibilities that can be done via this hack.

I 'll be waiting for betatest, Sir! :squareeyed:

The script is ready for the beta test but I need to write the instructions for both usage of the new features and upgrading.. New added features made old help files obsolete and there are many things to add into usage documents so it takes time. (BTW I just hate to write help files for hacks, it's too boring!). I'm also exploring the new features especially regarding the outside variables. I really enjoy the things that can be done with them, it's just exicting. For instance I've just thought that we may be able to pull vb polls (latest, last X, any, all) outside vb, with outside variables and conditionals. Himm excuse me, I need to test that now.. :glasses:

yes, of course... right.. I'm waitung for it...

I plan a VB-based Guestbook with webtemplates... you can see it in VB as espacially forum or thread and in the mainpage as "normal" GB with all features from vb - like search, smilies, vbcodes etc... :smoke: :alien: :nervous: :bunny:

Cool...

I volunteer to be a beta tester if you need any!!!

Logican, I love this hack! it's exactly what we were looking for while re-designing our site. I've already clicked the 'install' button for ya, even though we're still in beta testing on the upcoming site relase! I'm that confident ath we won't see any problems with it.

Just and FYI, I did change your code in a couple of places, primarily to use the header and footer templates within our vb styles, but also to work with phpAdsNew. I know you have your copyright in your webtemplate footer, and we don't currently have something similar in in our vb footer templates, but that was the easiest way I found to allow our header and footer change with the user's styles. I am, however quite pleased with this hack, and will be giving you due credit in our 'Credits and Copyrights' page (which will probably be a webtemplate page

Keep up the great work....

I'm going to read through this thread to see what other info there may be in here.... possibly post some of the things we've created eventually....

Cheers!

You dont need to worry. Although the hack version is named "beta", in fact it's tested for a long time and proven to be quite stable. I know sites that are completely powered by this hack only, so you wont encounter any problems..

Please let me know if you are interested in testing the new version before the release. I can use some help if you or other hack users can give the new version a try and send me feedback about it. I cant promise it's as stable as this version since I have added a lot of new features and it's still in progress. However if your site is powered by webtemplates, you are very likely to like the new version a lot..

mbaskett · #78 07-22-2002, 03:42 PM

I know!

I meant our site a whole is still in beta... as we have not publicly released our new changes (My testing of Webtemplates is pretty much complete, and it came out with 5 stars + my dev staff loved it!)

I'd love to test the latest version! I will let you know that I am currently working on developing our current site layout, with the older version of webtemplates.... how easy is the upgrade process?

Let me know what I need to do to help you out!!!!! The least I can do is put it on one of our dev servers and test it! If it comes out stable (or we make it stable

) then I'll be quick to put it into our production environment!

Please provide me with your email so that I can send you the new version.

Upgrade is easy: You dont need to modify any tables since new version uses the same tables. I just removed the hack from templates.php file and release it as a new file on its own so that further updates can be easier so all you have to do is to remove the section from templates.php and upload a new file. There are also tiny editing in index.php and online.php (so that your webtemplates visitors will be displayed in who is online list correctly.)

New version is fully competible with the older version so you can use your existing webtemplates and webqueries without any modifications.

I appreicate if you can test it and give me feedback (+suggestions). I especially want it be tested regarding "outside variable" feature. It lets your webtemplate accept variables via URL address bar or form POST/GET methods and with the help of conditionals you can create very powerful webtemplates and webqueries. I double checked everything especially regarding "security" but it would be great some other people who is familiar with the concept take a look of the algorithm too. So your dev.team's check would be great..

Thanks..

check your PM's...

Once I get it, I'll get it up and online and being our testing phases....
