Static Page Mod

[artful]

Hi all,
package manager does not work in version 1.1
Can someone tell me where I should place these files and
do I need to do something special to install them?

thanks

@artful:

You can download the mod manually from the mod site and then

• upload the staticpagemodx.x.zip via the package manager (Admin -> Main -> Packages -> Download Packages -> Upload a Package)
• *or* upload the staticpagemodx.x.zip via FTP into the packages directory (usually located at: yoursite.com/smf/Packages/)

After that, the package manager will list the mod (-> Browse Packages) and you can click 'Apply Mod' to install it.

I keep getting these errors when I try to apply a php include.


2: Unknown(cutenews/show_news.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
File: /home/*****/public_html/forum/Themes/default/_StaticPageMod.template.php (eval?)
Line: 4

Does the cutenews script have to be in the forum folder so that I can call it via include? i want to add a small blog using cutenews to the static page.

BTW, this is what the include looks like. Im hoping someone can help me out.  the NEWS folder is within the /forum folder too.

Code Select Expand

  <?PHP
$number = "1";
$category = "1";
include("cutenews/show_news.php");
?>

try an absolut URL like "http://domain.com/x/x/cutenews/index.php" or try to slash to the right folder like:
"../cutenewsfolder/cutenews/index.php".

im not sure i understand.....isnt this basically doing this-

Code Select Expand

<?php
ob_start();
$ssi_theme = 1;
$ssi_layers = array('main');
require_once('SSI.php');
?>
Html Content
<?php
ssi_shutdown();

?>
but with a standard url? (like www.asite.com/thefile.php)

[trenchteam]

try an absolut URL like "http://domain.com/x/x/cutenews/index.php" or try to slash to the right folder like:
"../cutenewsfolder/cutenews/index.php".

I tried both, I was still getting the same error

I want to increase the number of character of the static pages, because pages not accept an high number of the character. It' possible?

[trenchteam]

I stilll really would like to use includes from an outside script using the static mod if possible. Please advise! thanks.

[trusk]

then do this

Code Select Expand

<?php

$ssi_theme = 1;
$ssi_layers = array('main');
require_once('SSI.php');

echo 'Hi!';

ssi_shutdown();

?>

Example of what i did

Code Select Expand

<?php
ob_start();
$ssi_theme = 9;
$ssi_layers = array('main');
require_once('SSI.php');
echo doUBBC(file_get_contents('agreement.txt'));
ssi_shutdown();

?>

SO how would I go about using this php code? This is the include provided to me from cutenews.

Code Select Expand

  <?PHP
$number = "1";
$category = "1";
include("cutenews/show_news.php");
?>

I have 1.0.5.  Which download do I use?
Mark

[Mark_Breznay]

Ok, I figured out the download, but the read me could use a little clarification.  I just need to know which files to upload via ftp and where they go and which file gets uploaded thru the package manager.

Just insert it. You can remove the PHP tags, because it's already in PHP. Just put it where it says "echo 'Hi!';"

I would also like to know if this page mod works with Bloczone's portal and Helios Multi Theme?
Mark

[Xarcell]

Yes, it wirth with the theme because I just tried it earlier today. Don't know much about the portal, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

[Mark_Breznay]

Thanks for the info.  Now, how do you install it?
Mark

[Mark_Breznay]

Ok, I have it installed.  Now, what do I do to get the pages to show.  I have buttons ready.

Does the author of this mod ever visit here?  I could use a tutorial on how to set up these pages.
