[bugpage]

Could I manually FTP/upload these ?

[vbgamer45]

Does the mod support php?

I entered this into the header box, and it messed up my layout:

Code Select Expand

<?php

if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
<table class="tborder" style="margin-bottom: 0ex;"
border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"
width="100%">
 <tbody>
   <tr>
     <td class="catbg"> R-I Forums Network</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
     <td class="windowbg2" align="left" height="60"
valign="middle">

It does not support PHP.

[L.G.S]

Someway I could change the code so it would ?

[vbgamer45]

You would need to change it probalby to eval from file_get_contents in Sources/Subs.php and then it will just support php code.

[L.G.S]

So if I do this, I won't be able to use html? Hmm

[vbgamer45]

I think so I haven't tested it.

[L.G.S]

Anyway I could have both?

Sorry to keep asking these questions, I just have some code I want only guests to see and not other members

[KGIII]

L.G.S.:

In an effort to have something similar I ended up using the Ads mod which does support PHP, that worked fairly well and enabled me to put a nifty little critter at the bottom of my forum that only shows for guests or people who have 0 posts.

[L.G.S]

Yeah I tried the ad mod, although when I added the code it changed the layout of my forum, just because of the php bit

[KGIII]

L.G.S.:

Did you put it in nice pretty template form with tables and the likes? I spent a long time learning to move beyond tables and to try to learn to position everything with style sheets but SMF is like a step backwards there.

(I think you're one of the folks who's PMed me?)

If you want you can PM me again, tell me where you want it, tell me what you want it to look like, and I just /might/ be able to answer or you can ask here or in a thread in the coding section. If you have both the ads mod and the global headers and footer MOD installed it will likely make it easier.

I'm, by no means, a guru but I've got a wee bit of time tomorrow, tomorrow night, and again after Monday so I'd happily poke at it. My entire week, coming up, is set to "off" and everything I do is going to be something that I do just to enjoy myself for a while. That and setting up/finalizing the blog hosting, I should surely enjoy myself.

Any idea why it's throwing this error in the log constantly ?

Code Select Expand

File:/smf/Sources/globalhf.php

Great ! And how can I fix it in mine without uninstalling and re-installing the whole hack and all the items in my header and footer ?

[vbgamer45]

Download the file get the globalhf.php file and copy that to your sources folder.

Ok, thank you very much !

Is there a way to set the header so it only appears on the board index rather than on every page?

No option for that.

If you wish to do that edit BoardIndex.template.php in your themes folder.
