Driving me crazy...

If I want to put a Switch Statement into an
existing template like 'navbar' how to I
make the php qualify?

I am a programmer but php is new to me.
Is there a site that offers direction for
VB/PHP coding directly...other than php.org.

I would love to join the many who add
to this fantastic board software by learning
and offering my own code hacks.

www.php.net

www.mysql.com

Reading the two manuals will greatly aid you in programming vB hacks.

The only template that allows the execution of PHP code is called phpinclude all the others are just parsed as HTML.

Ok so if I wanted to use phpinclude how could I setup a variable that I could call from within another template...or is that not possible?

I put this into my phpinclude:

switch ($forumid) {
case 14:
$cadimage="ad1.gif";
break;

default:
$cadimage="noad.gif";
break;
}

I then called the variable from within another template
like this <img src=$cadimage border=0 align=right>.

It's not working and I'm sure it's something simple that you wizards can help me with

Which template did you try to include the <img> code in?

I tried placing it into the navbar... I want to put a variable image into each forum so that it gives it more of a feel.

Why not just name your images something like:
bulletXX.gif

where XX equals the Forumid.

Then you can just put

<img src="bullet$forumid.gif">

into your templates.

Then what happens when I don't want an ad on a page.. I gues I could create a blank gif for those instances...

Is there no way of just using the var in the template?

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