page within a page?

[sabret00the]

if i've got a page that does what it's meant to do, how do i go about making it have &page=whatever ?

would i need to enclose it all in a switch function or can i add some sort of if statement?

It really all depends how you want it to work, for example:

PHP Code:

<?php

require('./global.php');

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate($page)."\");"); 

?>

Thats the basic code for vB2 to get a page based on file.php?page=pagename you could also have a switch/if block to change between a pre-defined set of pages.

hmm, sorry a little confused, this is my first attempt at a vB hack really

basically i got a bunch of code on the page which calls how the main page looks but i wanna add main.php&page=rules

would i just add that into the bottom of the main script?

You're being vague still.

The parameters in a URL, which are variables, can be used in php like this:

PHP Code:

if($_GET['page'] == 'rules')
{
// code here
}

Assuming you already have all the PHP in place to do the main page, all you would need is somthing like:

PHP Code:

eval("\$content = \"".gettemplate("mypage_{$page}")."\";"); 


Where $page is whats in the URL (x.php?page=rules), you need to make sure this goes above the dooutput line you'll have that would look similar to the one I posted above. In your main template, add $content where you want the content of the template to go. Note the mypage in the above line, I'd recommend using a prefix to prevent users looking at templates they shouldn't

PHP Code:

<?php
error_reporting(7);
$templatesused = 'confessions,confessionbit,confession_adminoptions,confession_error,confession_pagenav,confession_leftside';
require("./global.php");
 
// all the code that makes the page work 
 
if($_GET['page'] == 'privacy') 
{ 
eval("\$content = \"".gettemplate("confessionprivacy")."\";");
} 
?>

i know that aint right cos it don't work but something like that?

PHP Code:

require_once("./global.php");

switch ($_GET['show'])
{
    case "something":
        eval("dooutput(\"" . gettemplate("sometemplate") . "\");");
        break;

    case "somethingelse":
        eval("dooutput(\"" . gettemplate("someothertemplate") . "\");");
        break;
}

i thought i would've ended up doing something like that, thanks filburt


arghhh, i suck at php, this is what i tried

PHP Code:

switch ($_GET['show']) 
{ 
    case "privacy": 
        eval("dooutput(\"" . gettemplate("confession_privacy") . "\");"); 
    break; 
    case "confess": 
        eval("dooutput(\"" . gettemplate("confession_confess") . "\");"); 
    break; 
    default: 
        eval("
              $confessions = $DB_site->query("SELECT confessionid, text, timestamp FROM confessions $clause ORDER BY confessionid DESC $limit");
            
                if (!$DB_site->num_rows($confessions)) {
                  eval("\$confessionbits = \"".gettemplate("confession_error",1,0)."\";");
                }
            
                else {
                  while ($confession_info = $DB_site->fetch_array($confessions)) {
                    extract($confession_info);
        
                    $color       = ($num++ % 2 == 0) ? '{firstaltcolor}' : '{secondaltcolor}';
                    $totalconf = number_format($DB_site->num_rows($confessions));
                    $time_posted = vbdate('n-j-y, g:i:s a', $timestamp);
                    $text  = bbcodeparse($text);
            
                      if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 7) {
                        eval("\$adminoptions = \"".gettemplate("confession_adminoptions",1,0)."\";");
                      }
            
                    eval("\$confessionbits .= \"".gettemplate("confessionbit",1,0)."\";");
                  }
                }
            "); 
        break; 
}

You might want to remove that big eval(" ") around everything
