Board Dir

[Mr. Pedram]

Hey SMFers,
What's the "Board Dir" variable exactly?

Code Select Expand

', $settings['boardurl'], '


or

Code Select Expand

', $settings['boarddir'], '


neither is work!
even with underline between board and url or dir!

i want to set address to root dir, where forum/s installed. a little help please.
*Set address for "src"

[All Colours Sam]

Use $boarddir  which is defined directly in Settings.php

You just need to globalize it.

global $boarddir ;

do not that  $boarddir and $boardurl are two different things, the first one holds a path while the second holds an url.

SMF also provides a var for the sources dir:  $sourcedir and the cache dir: $cachedir, this is done because it is possible to move out those dirs to another location without breaking anything.

global $boarddir ; not working dude

you means:

Code Select Expand

', $global['boarddir'], '


still not working.

Code Select Expand

<script type="text/javascript" src="', $global['boarddir'], '/js/script.js"></script>


some developers used this for set url for "src":

Code Select Expand

' . $boardurl . '

Ex:

Code Select Expand

<script type="text/javascript" src="' . $boardurl . '/js/script.js"></script>


yes , it's works only for forums that installed in root, not smth like this:

Code Select Expand

root/forum

i want to set url for src , where exactly forum installed, even @ sub folders!

I'm not a dude.


Please do take a look and see the code I wrote:

global $boarddir;

put that line of code somewhere in your code before using the var, then you simply need to use $boardurl

example:

echo $boardurl;


but most importantly, what exactly are you trying to do?  please tell me exactly and with the most details as possible, what do you want to do.

Sorry!

but most importantly, what exactly are you trying to do?  please tell me exactly and with the most details as possible, what do you want to do.

i mentioned in prev post
anyway,


you means:

Code Select Expand


';
echo '
global $boarddir;
<script type="text/javascript" src="' . $boardurl . '/js/script.js"></script>

?

[All Colours Sam]

Please tell me why do you want to use the board dir, for what purposes do you want to use the dir path?

I'm asking yo because depending on what you wan to do, there might be a better alternative.

Do you want to load a JaveScript file?

[Mr. Pedram]

However i mentioned in my last posts, but:

i want to set address to root dir, where forum/s installed. a little help please.
*Set address for "src"

i mentioned in prev post
anyway,

Code Select Expand


';
   echo '
   global $boarddir;
      <script type="text/javascript" src="' . $boardurl . '/js/script.js"></script>

?

Do you want to load a JaveScript file?

yes,


for Ex.

Code Select Expand

<script type="text/javascript" src="', $settings['theme_url'], '/scripts/theme.js"></script>


it will be load from "scripts" folder in theme dir, but i want to load from root to a folder, Ex:

Code Select Expand

<script type="text/javascript" src="' . $boardurl . '/js/script.js"></script>

[All Colours Sam]

Why do you want it to load from the root?  loading it from the root isn't going to help at all, while keeping all your JS files in a single folder does help with keep things organized.


Anway... you want to use an url, not a path.

$boarddir is a path:

C:/wampp/forum/

$boardurl is an url:

http://mysite.com/forum/


if you want to load your JavaScript from the root directory then use:

global $boardurl;

echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="' . $boardurl . '/script.js"></script>';

and put your script.js in your forum root dir.

[Mr. Pedram]

Why do you want it to load from the root?

not root, a folder on root

Code Select Expand

Root/js/script.js


that MOD i/m writing, will be add a folder to the root, like "Tapatalk" or "SMF Blog" and etc...





now it's working with:

Code Select Expand


'; global $boardurl;
echo '
<script type="text/javascript" src="' . $boardurl . '/mod/js/script.js"></script>


Thanks a lot for your help.
