I'm trying to make it so I can call a few Wordpress php functions from within VBulletin, but in order to do so, they say I need to add the following code ABOVE the <html> and <head> tags. I don't seem to be able to do this in either the head template or headinclude template. Anyone know where I can?

HTML Code:

<?php include_once('/path/to/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Title Of Your Page</title>
<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<body>
<?php get_poll(); ?>
</body>
</html>

I've been searching through here, vb.com, and wp.com, and can't seem to find how to do this. Thanks in advance for anyone here who can help.

You can't include raw PHP in templates.

Thanks for the reply, and yes I'm familiar with plugins as I have a few working right now, but that still leaves me with the problem of posting the plugin code ABOVE the <html> and <head> tags.

Any idea how or where to do this?

Thanks again.

I just told you with the link, use the object buffer functions to fetch the data and place the variable in the template instead.

That link just talks about how to use plugins to place external files and php includes, etc. in templates right? I know how to do that, but I need to know which template to put the plugin code in, so that the plugin code is ABOVE the <html> and <head> tags.

I've looked in the "head" and "headinclude" templates, but neither will allow me to view or post ABOVE the <html> and <head> tags.

See what I mean, is this possible?

The html and head tags are contained in each pages root template (e.g. FORUMHOME, SHOWTHREAD). Normally the HTML Doctype stylevar is output first (above them).

Perfect, that's exactly what I was looking for Paul. Now, it will be very interesting to try a few combinations of plugins/php to see if I can get it to do what I want.

Thanks!
