php include in index.template.php ?

khanahmedabbas · January 13, 2013, 10:39:42 AM

Hi,

Is it possible to add any kind of html in index.template.php theme using php include ? if yes what code we must add ?

Because i tried to add html code into index.template.php and it showed ' ; string errors.

Please reply in detail as i have the latest version of SMF here http://www.gyaro.com/forum/ [nofollow]

It would be useful to know exactly what you're trying to include and where you're trying to include it, especially as direct inclusion into index.template.php is usually a really bad idea.

i am trying to php include header page of www.gyaro.com [nofollow] into forum theme.

Arantor · January 13, 2013, 11:23:11 AM

I actually meant specifics... are you trying to just include a PHP file or trying to include some content directly?

khanahmedabbas · January 13, 2013, 11:28:30 AM

i am trying to include php file which has content.

Quote<?php
include("http://www.gyaro.com/forum/forumheader.php [nofollow]"); ?>

khanahmedabbas · January 13, 2013, 11:30:01 AM

i want to include this page http://www.gyaro.com/forum/forumheader.php [nofollow] content either using php include or html code but unable.

Any clues ?

Arantor · January 13, 2013, 11:30:29 AM

And, as already asked, where exactly are you trying to put that?

Also, you should never, ever, ever, ever try to use include() with a URL, apart from the fact it won't work, it is also a security risk. What is forumheader.php exactly?

i am trying to put this <?php
include("http://www.gyaro.com/forum/forumheader.php [nofollow]"); ?>

After the body tag in index.template.php in current theme of gyaro forum www.gyaro.com/forum/ [nofollow]

like this

Quote<body>';

<?php
include("http://www.gyaro.com/forum/forumheader.php [nofollow]"); ?>
}

function template_body_above()
{

but getting errors.

This file http://www.gyaro.com/forum/forumheader.php [nofollow] is basically html page which i changed into php.

But when i add into index.template.php it shows string errors.

Which part of NEVER USE INCLUDE ON A URL is causing you problems here?

khanahmedabbas · January 13, 2013, 12:05:28 PM

I really didn't understand what you meant to say Arantor.

I also want to add this page http://www.gyaro.com/forum/forumfooter.php [nofollow] in the footer.

Arantor, if you give me solution i would not mind giving you 1 gyaro license copy as complimentary free of cost.

Thanks.

attached is the index.template.php

Arantor · January 13, 2013, 12:21:45 PM

I give up trying to help. If you don't understand the difference between a local file and a URL, not only do I not want to spend an age trying to explain, but I wouldn't want to use your software either...

khanahmedabbas · January 13, 2013, 12:27:38 PM

what shall i do my friend ? dont give up as it will make you fail.

Code Select

include_once('forumfooter.php');
That is likely what you need for the footer and a similar one for the header. Give the attached a try.

khanahmedabbas · January 13, 2013, 02:22:15 PM

Thanks it worked but header is having conflict with SMF forum css.

NanoSector · January 13, 2013, 02:26:54 PM

Well that's not something we can do something about. I recommend changing your code and not the code in SMF, as changing SMF's code might break more things.

At a minimum, your header/footer are their own complete HTML pages. Consider removing <head> and putting the CSS callouts in index.template.php (or include the guts of it into the one on the theme you are using. Also, you now have three body declarations. Considering these are includes, only include the bits that need to be there. index.template.php provides the complete page skeleton. The header is being declared right after <body>, so only include the code bits that appear after your current forumheader.php file in it and move the CSS stuff to index.template.php. Rinse and repeat for the footer include file.

I must be missing something simple - or a lot of brain cells (possible) - my eyesight also sucks, so maybe this crippled old man just needs a little help.

Inside index.template.php

and outside any function or echo, just below the body tag

I have.....

include_once('/myfile.php');

In myfile.php I have tried

<?php

echo 'my text';

?>

-------------------

echo 'my text';

------------------

and....

my text

Nothing is working -

What am I doing wrong?

Arantor · December 03, 2014, 10:52:16 AM

Because the path you've specified is probably wrong.

/myfile.php points to the top-most level folder on the system, and I'd be extremely surprised if that was the real path.

In all likelihood the correct path is more like /home/username/public_html/myfile.php but it's impossible to know without more information.

lomaalta · December 03, 2014, 12:33:28 PM

Well, you are right, that was not the actual path...

My site resides here..

http://www.mysite.com/

My path to the file...

ftp://mysite.com//domains/mysite.com/public_html/includes/my.php

pull it up in safari just fine at...

http://www.mysite.com/includes/my.php

But this does not work...

include_once('/includes/my.php');
