Trying to add global functions to all .template files

[Glyph]

i am currently trying to use an

Code Select Expand

add_integration_function ("call_endpoint", '$sourcedir/pvp.php', true);
into display.template.php

i have a function in pvp.php that i would like to use in display.template.php and other template files, is there any way to do this?

I know i could use a get or post or include the file, but i'm trying to avoid that if SMF has a function to integrate it in its own way; i was assuming hooks could do this.


my current install file:

Code Select Expand

<?php 
if (file_exists(dirname(__FILE__) . '/SSI.php') && !defined('SMF')){
{
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/SSI.php');

}
// Hmm... no SSI.php and no SMF?
}elseif (!defined('SMF')){
die('<b>Error:</b> Cannot install - please verify you put this in the same place as SMF\'s SSI.php.');
//      Start building and creating the database
}
add_integration_function ("call_endpoint", '$sourcedir/pvp.php', true);

i figured the

Code Select Expand

<?php  add_integration_function ("call_endpoint", '$sourcedir/pvp.php', true); would make an update to the mysql database, so that anywhere i called a "call_integration_hook" i could use my function (function call_endpoint) in pvp.php from any file that had the associated  "call_integration_hook" much in the same way an "include" works in php.

in pvp.php my function starts like this:

Code Select Expand

<?php
function call_endpoint(&$userid,&$gw2action)

i thought i could call it from display.tempate.php by adding this to the script:

Code Select Expand

<?php
$1 = "1"
$2="action1"
$action_result=call_integration_hook('call_endpoint', array($1, $2));
echo $action_result[0]['name'];

i also tried directly ccalling the function but it wasnt found.

just incase anyones interested,

<file name="$sourcedir/Load.php">
has to do with alot of the database loading.

so your install file should be something like:

Code Select Expand

if(!array_key_exists('db_add_column', $smcFunc))
db_extend('packages');
foreach ($column_array as $key => $data)
{
$smcFunc['db_add_column'](
'{db_prefix}members',
$data,
array(),
'update',
'fatal'
);
}

with the column structure in between the loop and db_extend.

There are a ton of select statments in load.php, so based on what you're trying to o you'll need to modify it accordingly. fortunately alot of mods have already edited key areas of the forums so it may just be a matter of modifying the code to your needs.

once that is done, you should then be able to call  $context['member']['whateverdatauwanthere']['andhere'] (code may vary)

Don't really sure if I understand what are you trying to do.  Seems irrelevant to call a hook just to call a function,  you might as well just call the function directly

I have
function example(&$param1){
return array($values)
}

i would like to call this function in Display.template.php, and many other .template.php's (for lack of a better word) without the use of includes, or using GET/POST requests. I would like to get the return value from a global variable from SMF itself. (e.g. $context or $modSettings)

i've seen other mods do it so i'm trying to learn how to do it. i'm not familiar with the terminology.

CAn you post a link to a mod or mods that are doing the same thing? I'm just trying to get a clearer view of what you want.

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=4001

in install.xml it modifies load.php

also display.tempate.php where
$message['member']['twitter']['link'] for example.

and under install.php it updates the SQL information

Looking through http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=417
the mod adds a function to Subs.php
CountryFlag()
that looks like its called "globally", this is exactly what i was looking for!

now i ran into another issue, i am using the prettyurls mod for my website and i'm trying to make everything work.

Code Select Expand


<?php
// Show a link to the member's profile.
                    $endpoint_action = "account_name";
                    //echo 'my id is: '.$message['member']['id'].'<br />';
                    $endpoint_data = call_endpoint($message['member']['id'], $endpoint_action);
                        if ($endpoint_data != ''){
                            //split the original link by '<a href="http://gw2pvp.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u='
                            $pass1_member_link = explode('<a href="http://gw2pvp.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=', $message['member']['link']);
                            var_dump($message['member']['link']);
                            //split the link again by '" title'
                            $pass2_member_link = explode('" title', $pass1_member_link);
                            //and split it again by '">'
                            $pass3_member_link = explode('">', $pass2_member_link);
                            //substr($pass3_member_link[1],0,-4); //FORUM DISPLAY USERNAME if you need it
                            echo $pass3_member_link[0].'">'. $endpoint_data[0]['name']."</a>";
                        }else {
                            echo $message['member']['link'];
                        }

basically, this will work without prettyurls, but with prettyurls it changes the URL so that my explode functions are doing nothing.

fixed with:

Code Select Expand


<?php
// Show a link to the member's profile.
                    $endpoint_action = "account_name";
                    $endpoint_data = call_endpoint($message['member']['id'], $endpoint_action);
                            echo str_replace($message['member']['name'],$endpoint_data[0]['name'],$message['member']['link']);
