PHP in templates

[T0M]

Neh thats a global of SDK. SDK is a IPB integration tool.



I do not have a name field if people want to comment, they only have to type in their comment and the $member_name get's there name from the database when logged in. So al my forum members can also post on the website with their forum account and in that way members don't have to also sign up for a cutenews.ru account.



^^^ Crappy English, sorry about that, bit tired ^^^

I have been trying to do the same using PunBB and have had no luck yet, whenever i try to include a punbb variable into the comments template i get an error about whitespace.

I have tried to do this many ways, the recommended code from punbb is the following

Code: Select all

<?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($pun_user['username']); ?>

Can anyone tell me where im going wrong with this?[/code]

Following on from my post above here is the exact error i get when trying to include

Code: Select all

<?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars($pun_user['username']); ?>

Code: Select all

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in

After re-reading this thread i have tried to escape the variable as follows

Code: Select all

<?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars(\$pun_user['username']); ?>

which causes no output or errors

I have also tried alien13's mod of inc/show.news.php which hasn't helped me and have tried including the code without full php tags using <? ?> and without using php tags too.

Iam trying to include the php into the comments form template but being able to put it in any template would be a good start.

Below is an example of what iam trying to do (please excuse the tables and else echo statement)

Code: Select all

<h2>Leave a comment</h2>
<?php if ($pun_user['is_guest'])
message("You must login to use leave a comment"); else echo [not-logged]
<input type="hidden" name="name2" tabindex="1" value="<?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars(\$pun_user['username']); ?>" />
[/not-logged]
</p>
</p>

<table width="500" border="0">
  <tr>
    <td><noindex>{smilies}</noindex> <br></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>  <noindex>{bbcodes}</noindex></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<p><textarea cols="100" rows="8" name="comments" tabindex="3"></textarea>
  <br />
  <input class="input" type="submit" tabindex="4" name="submit" value="Leave a comment" />
  <br />
?>

Are you sure that the $pun_user variable is available on this page?

Are you sure that the $pun_user variable is available on this page?

Thanks for taking the time to reply

Yes the variable is available on the page , i use it on every page including my cutenews homepage in the sidebar example below

Code: Select all

Welcome <?php echo pun_htmlspecialchars(\$pun_user['username']); ?> !

so i don't see why it won't work. I have also made a test page and tried to output the variable more than once to see if this is the problem but its not that either

[FI-DD]

If it's not working in the templates you still can use the variable in inc/show.news.php, can't you?

[T0M]

Will give that a go.

[T0M]

Thanks for a point in the right direction FI-DD , has been something i have been trying to do for a long time.

Incase anyone else wanted to do this too i have posted instructions below.

Open inc/show.commentform.php

Find line 21

Code: Select all

$output = str_replace('{password}', $member['password'], $output);

After Add

Code: Select all

$output = str_replace('{puname}',  $pun_user['username'], $output);

Now you can include the variable in the comments form by using {puname} dont forget to include common.php in you page also, the above code is for punbb intergration but can be edited for other forum scripts.

I'm trying somthing like this:

<?PHP $cntitle = {title}; ?>

i want the title in a email form i include this form from a extern file: include form.php

but i want the title in the value option from the input form:
<input size="111" name="thesubject" tabindex="4" value="Reactie op: <?PHP echo"$cntitle" ?>" disabled>

but i'm not getting it to work.

is there a other way to include the title? is there a standard var?

[scottdallas]

I use <?=cn_title(); ?>

I'm running 2.5 and I want to include PHP in my templates so I can display the 10 latest articles from the articles page... does anyone know what to do yet?

same problem here, im trying to show the last 5 news from all categories at the end of the full story. here is the code im using to include the news:

Code: Select all

<?PHP
\$static['number'] = "5";
\$static['template'] = "flerenyheter";
\$PHP_SELF = "news.php";
include $cutepath.'/show_news.php';
?>

[Mystic2010]

May not be the solution, but I noticed you didn't escape the $cutepath. $cutepath -> \$cutepath

There's no need to do this using this plugin. Check the readme to learn how to show articles below the full story.

worked perfect to my... thank you very much!!

[snatch518]

Is this only for 1.2? I'm using 2.5 and want to include PHP and the installation readme doesn't match the code I have.
