Loading in Skin?

[Nite Phire]

I'm writing a mod to display non-SMF pages in the skin, so that all the menus, clock, and all that good stuff shows up where it normally does.  The problem is, I'm not sure how to make it load in the main spot.  To see what happens, go here [nofollow] and click on the staff or FAQ button [the round ones, somewhere in the middle].  It loads up top, then where it should load it says it's unable to load the main template.  My source file is below:

If anyone knows how to fix this, I'd be very grateful...

I suggest you upgrade from rc1.

[Nite Phire]

Well, that too.  Haven't gotten around to it yet.  But that won't automatically fix it, will it?

[Nite Phire]

Upgraded.  Didn't fix it...

[Nite Phire]

Oh, I made a couple small changes after the forum upgrade, but it still encounters the same problem...

It seems to me you have alot of errors on your board.

Mainly is sources/load.php Are you sure when you upgraded, you upgraded over all files?

[Nite Phire]

Yep, even checked in the forum maintenance section:
Load.php   1.0.2   1.0.2

I think the problem is that I don't have a sub-template for the page ... so if I do make one, how exactly would I make it and put it there...?

Alright, there's a few things on this.  First, I suggest you look at:

Integrating the forum into your site...
Custom actions

Anyway... the method you're using is insecure.  I'd use:

Code Select Expand

// Show the site files...
function SiteDisplay()
{
global $context;

// This is a simple array of those pages they can access from here.
$tare = array(
'news/news',
'paper/index',
'staff',
'faq',
'characters',
'data',
'logs',
'links',
);

// If they're trying to go to a page not offered here, don't let them!!
if (empty($_GET['tare']) || !in_array($_GET['tare'], $tare))
$_GET['tare'] = 'news/news';

// Okay... start grabbing the output, so we can stick it in SMF's template system.
ob_start();
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/' . $_GET['tare'] . '.php');
$context['raw_data'] = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

// Don't forget the page title!
$context['page_title'] = 'Site';

$context['sub_template'] = 'rawdata';
}

What this does is use the built in "rawdata" sub template.

Oh, wow that's helpful.  Thanks.  Now I kinda sort of get it.  It was all those default skin templates that I wasn't paying attention to.  Now, it actually works.  *sighs with relief*  Well, there's hope for my plan after all...
