include '/home/***/public_html/community/cforumstats.php';

PHP Code:

$navbits = array();
//$navbits[$parent] = 'cforumstats';

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

?>

ANY HELP WOULD BE FANTASTIC!!

darn it! why would this work when i load the page in the browser but not using include? :x

works: www.example.com/cforumstats.php

does not work: include '/path/to/cforumstats.php';

You're changing the working directory and not changing it back to what it was... That messes up your includes big time because it doesn't automatically change back.

Do like this:

PHP Code:

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################ 
$curdir = getcwd();
chdir('/home/***/public_html/community'); 
require_once('./global.php');
chdir($curdir);

thank you for your reply!

i think i'm one step closer now because i only get one error now...

It appears that you are referencing items before having any reference sheet. Try including the global.php file first.

new code below still gives this:
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function query_first_slave() on a non-object in /home/***/public_html/community/includes/functions.php on line 1368

PHP Code:

<?php


// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
$curdir = getcwd();
chdir('/home/***/public_html/community');
require_once('./global.php');
chdir($curdir);

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'cforumstats'); // change this depending on your filename


// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups

// get special data templates from the datastore

$navbits = array();
//$navbits[$parent] = 'cforumstats';

//$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
//eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('cforumstats') . '");');
?>

I would recommend you go through your code and look for any imperfections. What the code is saying that it is looking to reference something but there is a no object to look at.

I am out of ideas, I have reviewed the code and see nothing wrong. Since I do not have the other files to review and test I cannot tell you why.

Make sure all files are calling the correct directory. You may have some files calling the incorrect directories of their files.

[testbot]

the code works otherwise it wouldn't work when it's loaded directly in the browser (http://www.example.com/cforumstats.php).

it's weird. i've been banging my head against the wall for a min.

i'm trying to think if maybe it's conflicting with some modules on the main site or something.

ps- i'm in chicago too

[Mr-Moo]

Yes, like I said, since you are including it something is not being called correctly. I will see what I can find out for you.

// Edit //

Try removing the "./" in the beginning of Global.php. Your global.php should be in the same directory as your main forum installation. You are moving a directory back to your root folder.

[testbot]

i thought ../ was moving back a directory and ./ was the same directory.

but i'll give that a try and get back to ya.

I don't understand how that little php script can produce that error when nothing is even done in there. What is in your template?
