I've been trying to get my gallery to work all day long...if I put the template calling at the end of the file, it will load the images ABOVE the header...if I add the template calling before the images, nothing will load after the header...

Its driving me mad...here is my thread

I also tried editing another gallery script, but I ended up with the same problems, images would only load above header, but nothing would load under it.

it looks like your hard coding the file, this howto deals more with using the template system directly

Seems so, so there is no way to add footer/header templates to hard coded page then?

[Zachery]

This is nice stuff here Faranth, very useful.

I do have a question, how do I have "Who is online" show the location.

IE:

Gio "Unknown"
main.php

To

Gio Test Page
test.php

This would all be done in the ./includes/functions_online.php file. I'll let Faranth finish this up as it is his "HowTo" thread.

What is the recommended way to install/upgrade the series of templates used with a hack? (I know htl deals with this but...) Installing the templates manually is a pain and error prone, as is asking the user to go to the admin cp and upload the xml file.

How does one create a new template group?

I imagine one has to install/overwrite the templates in the base style(s). As a hack is being developed (and templates changed), one also has to be sure that any modified templates in the main and other styles are flagged.

I'm sure that tips on these points would be most welcome.

Edit: Sorry I got told off for posting in the wrong forum.

I fixed the problem and to simply make a new page which utilises existing stylesheets and headers, technically all you need to do is:

1. Create Custom Template with everything you Require - Ensure you include your header, footer etc references, shown below.

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

2. In your new page - use the below code to invoke your template. (My Custom template was called "blah").

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Hi, I am making a mod and im new to VB but Im a fast learner.

I want to load a template called (test) inside test i want to put rows from a db table (test) with value1|value2|value3 i want to print the 3values for each row in the table and display them in the html defined in the (test2) template... and then load the rest of the (test) template. Is this possible?

Another question is: Would cases be suitable rather than all the ifs? or are ifs better?
thanks for help.

Sorry for the stupid question -

How does one pass a variable from a php script TO the template?

I've got a file, page.php, that includes the basic instructions in the first post in this thread, ending with (eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('my_template') . '");');

It works great - 'my_template' contains $header, some html, $footer, and it renders the page as expected.

However, in page.php I also define a variable $output = "some output"; I put $output in 'my_template' but it does not print out "some output" as expected.

Again sorry I'm probalby out of my legue here but if there's an easy way to do this please let me know!

TIA!
