Need a little help here...

[ja5es]

I wasn't sure if I should have posted this in the vBulletin Templates forum or the PHP forum, but I'm going to post it here, and if it needs to be moved, then so be it.

I have created a new template. Now, I want to use this template in my website, but I don't know what to do with it.

What I want to do is make a new .php document which will use the templates found in vBulletin, but, the problem is I don't know how to call upon them. Do I use a function, include or what?

I'm confused. If you think that you can help then please do! Thanks!

should do a search on this forum ;)

just in your new .php file

place


<?php
require("global.php");
eval("echo dovars(\"".gettemplate("templatename")."\");");
?>


then add new template called templatename and place the pages html code in templatename

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("templatename")."\");");
is more like it Eva. :)

Uh, well both of these methods worked, but I still get errors concerning the global.php and it says that the header is already included, when all I'm trying to do is make it display the header and footer template on an otherwise blank page.

It will show the templates, but also with some error reports on the top of the page.

Any ideas?

did you include the global.php on your the page you are trying to call the templates from?

include("forum/admin/global.php")

[ja5es]

Awwww! That might help... Thanks! I'll let you guys know if it's still giving me problmes...

Well, armed with your latest advice, I tried to make a page which would display the header, navbar and footer templates on an otherwise balnk page. Well, the three things show up, but with these errors above them:

Warning: Undefined index: HTTP_POST_VARS in c:\apache\apache\htdocs\vb221\global.php on line 85

Warning: Undefined index: action in c:\apache\apache\htdocs\vb221\global.php on line 85

Warning: Undefined index: action in c:\apache\apache\htdocs\vb221\global.php on line 88

This is the php I am using:

<?php

require("./global.php");
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("header")."\");");
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("navbar")."\");");
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("footer")."\");");

?>

Any ideas?

Any ideas? header already included error to fix make sure you do not have whitespace/linebreaks after the opening and closing php tags <? and ?>

in global.php and config.php

That didn't do anything...
