variable for board directory

[mohaakilla51]

is there a variable that is pretty much the URL for the board directory? or do I have to make one?

Another quick question: is it possible to overload functions in PHP? AKA: Create another template_main_above function, except make this one take parameters?

Well $boardurl holds the URL of your forum (without the index.php).

$boarddir is the path to your forum (where the root files such as Settings.php and the main index.php are located).

Is that what you are after?

No, at least certainly not that I know of! When you try to use the same function twice even with different parameters you will get a cannot redeclare function error. And I know what you are talking about as I've used overloaded methods in Java before. It can be quite handy in my opinion, but PHP is pretty loose and you can even get away with calling none of a function's parameters without an error as long as you specify in the parameter what the default value of it should be.

OK, thank you. THat answered both of my questions.
