How do you use a new template? · **Released**: 03-29-2002

Let's say I create a template, then I make a new script somewhere like myScript.php, how do I get that script to use my template?
Are there tutorials?

Also how would I do a PHP include of myScript.php onto the main page somewhere? Normal php code won't work in a template.

PHP Code:


			eval("\$string = \"".gettemplate("your_template")."\";");

Don't worry about the template, it's too hard for me to comprehend

but how do I do a php include on the main page?

include('file.php');

and make sure oyu have the global.php in everyone of your php files that connect to vb.

include('file.php');

lol. No that's not it. If it was that simple I wouldn't need to ask, heh.

But do tell what global.php does.

lol

Place this in your phpinclude template:

Code:

ob_start();
require('./file.php');
$filestuff = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

then use $filestuff in your templates.

hi this is what I put in

Quote:

ob_start();
include("test.php");
$testphp = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

and it works fine when I include it on the main page.

But for some odd reason when I view Who's Online (even though I didn't include anything there)
I get the following:

Now it says the problem is in online.php, but that behaviour is not shown when the phpinclude template is empty.... so am I right in thinking the problem is really in test.php?
What should I look for?

Does test.php do anything with the variables $post / $userinfo?
