Includes

[Doug]

I am trying to include a left.php page in a left column on the index.template.php.  I have tried doing this and it is not working.

<td width="20%">include('left.php');</td>

The page Im trying to include has all the content for my left column.

Thanks,

Tee

Code Select Expand

<td width="20%"><?include('left.php');?></td>

Might work better

Didn't work, still errors.

Is left.php in your SMF base directory?

[[Unknown]]

Code Select Expand

<td width="20%"><?php include('left.php'); ?></td>

Or, in index.template.php:

Code Select Expand

<td width="20%">', include('left.php'), '</td>

[Peter Duggan]

Code Select Expand

<td width="20%"><?php include('left.php'); ?></td>

Meaning that Tony missed the spaces or that the full opening tag is necessary (which I thought was a server thing)?

Spaces, but it's always better to use the full open tag because it always works.

Spaces

I'm ashamed to say I'd spotted that before I posted but neglected to mention it in my reply.

but it's always better to use the full open tag because it always works.

And I always do.

Thanks, the only problem now is I get the #1 at the bottom of the column and can't find where its coming from

Can't see either a 1 or a left column (so is it in a different theme?), but can tell you that you've got old Help files up there and your Website link is broken.

[Doug]

Try it now, I put it on the main theme I'm using

Sorry, use:

Code Select Expand

<td width="20%">'; include('left.php'); echo '</td>

[Doug]

thanks but I wana add it below the menu, could please advise where to add it in template.index.php

[A.M.A]

in index.template.php look for:

Code Select Expand

// Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template.
template_menu();

add after it:

Code Select Expand

include('../news/show.php');

[raedzaro]

I add it as you  told me but didn't work?

[raedzaro]

sorry it works ok with firefox but any idea about IE as I have to delete cookies each time to display show.php result

[Oldiesmann]

Try hitting CTRL+F5 in IE... That forces it to re-load the site without using a cached version.
