Then include $header and $footer in your template code and use the template to code the whole page.

hmm.......i seems to keep on getting this error

Warning: main(./admin/config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/anim3df/public_html/global.php on line 129


My Code:

<?php
include("./global.php");
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('header')."\");");
?>


Forums Dir:
http://www.site.com/forums

Test.php Dir
http://www.site.com/test.php

That is wrong. You call a new template. Lets say it's called 'site' and put it into the file code. Then make a new template through your ACP called 'site'. So now the file name will call that template. Input the variable $header for the header to show, but use this with the stuff you'd like to display on the page.

should i include the full path/or URL to the global.php?

include("./global.php"); <<--- in here

b/c if i put the site.php in the forums dir, it works......but i dont want it to be in the forums dir tho =/

ok then try this


oh wait vb2 hmmm
lol hadda think for a moment, that should work

PHP Code:

<?php
 
// ## Changes the Directory so it will grab vb ##
chdir("/full/path/to/forum/");
// ## Grabs global.php so it will use vb2 functions ##
require("./global.php");
// ## Grabs a Sepecific Template ##
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('templatename')."\");");
?>
