The Arcive of vBulletin Modifications Site.

Hello,

I'm sorry if this is a FAQ. I've searched a bit and haven't been able to glean an answer from what I've read.

Per management, I've added a new page to a development site. Everything looks great, but the page isn't rendering a footer when displayed.

Here's my render code, including a recent attempt to force a footer to show up...

PHP Code:


			
$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);
$templater = vB_Template::create('kdk_pfs');
        $templater->register_page_templates();
        $templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
        $templater->register('checked', $checked);
print_output($templater->render());

// Can't get the footer to show!!  This apparently will NOT work:
$myfooter = vB_Template::create('footer');
$myfooter->register_page_templates();
print_output($myfooter->render());

If you're experienced w/hacking vB, you can probably tell that I'm clueless. I don't see any logic in content.php, forum.php, etc. regarding the footer, so I'm left at this point to conclude it's Magic(tm). Any thoughts?

I welcome any assistance anyone can offer (apart from suggestions about job hunting

) - thanks!

REmove this stuff:

HTML Code:

// Can't get the footer to show!!  This apparently will NOT work: 
$myfooter = vB_Template::create('footer'); 
$myfooter->register_page_templates(); 
print_output($myfooter->render());

You've already output the page here:

HTML Code:

print_output($templater->render());

Did you require_once the global.php page? If so, your register_page_templates should be rendering the footer (and header and headinclude and headinclude_bottom)

If it's not showing, then perhaps you have some error in it somewhere.

Yes, global.php is required, and we get past that point.

And no lint issues:

$php -l pfs.php
No syntax errors detected in pfs.php

I will check the server logs, though --- thanks.

Nothing in the logs. I can workaround this by pasting the footer template code in the template I'm calling for my new page, but it feels so dirty :erm:

I'll be making one more page/script tomorrow (or perhaps I'll be able to start later today). I'll post if I can make anymore headway.

Doesn't seem to be an error in the footer, as it works elsewhere throughout the site. But thanks anyway.....

kkinsey, this might be a stupid thing to ask, but are you certain you have a {vb:raw footer} bit in your template?

Here's what I use as a "generic" template, in cae it might help:

HTML Code:

{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">


<head>
{vb:raw headinclude}
  <title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}<vb:if condition="$pagetitle"> :: {vb:raw pagetitle}</vb:if></title>
<vb:if condition="$show['sidebar']">
  <script type="text/javascript" src="{vb:stylevar yuipath}/animation/animation-min.js?v={vb:raw vboptions.simpleversion}"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    var sidebar_align = '<vb:if condition="$vboptions['sidebarposition'] == 0">left<vb:else />right</vb:if>';
    var content_container_margin = parseInt('{vb:math {vb:stylevar forum_sidebar_width}+{vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}*2}}');
    var sidebar_width = parseInt('{vb:stylevar forum_sidebar_width}');
  </script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/clientscript/vbulletin-sidebar.js?v={vb:raw vboptions.simpleversion}"></script>
</vb:if>

{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}



</head>
<body>
{vb:raw header}
{vb:raw navbar}
  <div id="pagetitle">
    <h1>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</h1>
    <p id="welcomemessage" class="description">{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_the_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</p>
  </div>
<vb:if condition="$show['sidebar']">
  <div id="content_container"<vb:if condition="$vboptions['sidebarposition'] == 0"> class="contentright"</vb:if>>
    <div id="content">
</vb:if>








<!-- main -->
{vb:raw main}
<!-- /main -->










<vb:if condition="$show['sidebar']">
    </div>
  </div>
  <div id="sidebar_container"<vb:if condition="$vboptions['sidebarposition'] == 0"> class="sidebarleft"</vb:if>>
    <a id="sidebar_button_link" href="#">
  <vb:if condition="$vboptions['sidebarposition'] == 0">
      <img id="sidebar_button" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/tab-collapsed-left.png" alt="" />
  <vb:else />
      <img id="sidebar_button" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/tab-collapsed.png" alt="" />
  </vb:if>
    </a>
    <ul id="sidebar">
{vb:raw sidebar}
    </ul>
  </div>
</vb:if>


{vb:raw footer}
</body>
</html>
