vb3 new php file

[Logikos]

So on my older version board i had a few extra php files added on such as rules.php and inside rules.php i had this:

PHP Code:

<?php
$templatesused.='mytemplate';
require('./global.php');
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("site_rules")."\");");
exit;
?>

But when i try to use that for vb 3.0.0 i get this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gettemplate() in /home/hazelboy/public_html/forums/rules.php on line 4

So how do i get that template to show up?

Because vb3 uses a new function to get templates

fetch_template?

It's something like that. But practicly all the functions have been renamed

Indeed the core ideas have changed from vB2 to vB3. I suggest looking at index.php (or whatever you have the forumhome script defined as) and modelling yours after that.

I got it

PHP Code:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'myfile');

// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array();
// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array();
// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array(
'my_custom_template'
);
// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array();

require_once('./global.php');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('Custom_template') . '");');
?>

It's very different, isn't it.

not when you only know a little bit of php and your used to vb2.
and dont have the time to learn because your to busy working or going out

[filburt1]

The vB3 way is much better...it has good PHP programming practices (and general programming practices) as compared to vB2. Now you know what error_reporting(7) actually means, for example

I cannot wait til Teck rewrites the microstats hack It will be great for vB3. Also does anyone know the query loads, or know how to view the query loads for vb3? I know in vb3 they had the showqueries variable which allows you to see. Not sure for vb3

[Dean C]

You don't need microstats for vb3 ! Turn on debug mode whilst your testing and you'll get loads more info
