Won't let me include php...

[aimeeish]

This is really frustrating. I have 3 external scripts that I need implemented into WB via the template. What I did is create a new a page under pages/ directory. Added the scripts through the pages/ directory as well. Then I implemented by creating a new page manually...this is what I did

Code:

<?php
require("../config.php");
require(WB_PATH."/index.php");
?>

TEMPLATE CODE HERE (templates/mytemplate/index.php) full source code, no include

Then in the content, I'd add the code such as

Code:

<?php sfpg(); ?>

or

Code:

<?php

if ( !defined ('FNEWS_ROOT_PATH') )
{
    define ('FNEWS_ROOT_PATH', str_replace ('\\', '/', dirname (__FILE__)) . '/');
    include_once FNEWS_ROOT_PATH . 'common.php';
}

$id = ( isset ($VARS['fn_id']) ) ? intval ($VARS['fn_id']) : 0;

if ( !file_exists (FNEWS_ROOT_PATH . 'news/news.' . $id . '.php') )
{
    echo $flns0;
}
else
{
    $file = file( FNEWS_ROOT_PATH.'news/news.'.$id.'.php' );
    $news_info = parse_news_to_view ($file[1]);

    $temp_full = get_template ('fullnews_temp.php', true);
    $temp_full = str_replace ('{post_id}', $news_info['post_id'], $temp_full);
    $temp_full = str_replace ('{subject}', $news_info['subject'], $temp_full);
    $temp_full = str_replace ('{description}', $news_info['description'], $temp_full);
    $temp_full = str_replace ('{user}', $news_info['writer'], $temp_full);
    $temp_full = str_replace ('{date}', $news_info['date'], $temp_full);
    $temp_full = str_replace ('{icon}', $news_info['icon'], $temp_full);
    $temp_full = str_replace ('{send}', $news_info['link_tell_friend'], $temp_full);
    $temp_full = str_replace ('{nrc}', $news_info['nrc'], $temp_full);
    $temp_full = str_replace ('{comments}', $news_info['link_comments'], $temp_full);
    $temp_full = str_replace ('{cat_icon}', $news_info['cat_icon'], $temp_full);
    $temp_full = str_replace ('{cat_id}', $news_info['cat_id'], $temp_full);
    $temp_full = str_replace ('{cat_name}', $news_info['cat_name'], $temp_full);
    $temp_full = str_replace ('{shortnews}', $news_info['news'], $temp_full);
    $temp_full = str_replace ('{fullnews}', $news_info['fullnews'], $temp_full);

    echo $temp_full;
}

?>

^^ That is the fusion news script to display full news.

When I open the pages, the template shows just the template and no PHP script...this is really frustrating. Also, the CODE Module is practically useless.

If this is just for one (or a few pages), why don't you create a copy of your template (just change name and path in the info.php, zip and upload to WB), and install it as second template with your includes added to the index.php?

You can create a "normal" page, and select the "included" version of your template for that one.

Or am I misunderstanding the problem here?

Rather inconvenient, but that would work. Why does this not allow php include unless if it's in the index.php file? This is ridiculous.

WB is a CMS. This means a database is responsible for the content in the page.

If you look at the WB_PATH/index.php you will see a line:

Code:

$wb->page_select() or die();

This says: if you use this script, and the page is not served by the database: die()

It is not ridiculous, it is security, and just how a CMS works.

Yeah, but the script I need included doesn't even use a mysql database.

Hello,

please search the forum before asking a questions. Including external files/scripts is dicussed several times. Basically you should do the following.

As i understand you wanna include the script in the index.php of your template, so it could be seen on every page. So you have to options:

1.) Place the code directly in the index.php of your template.
2.) place the code in a file called sfpg.php (or whatever name you want) and store it with ftp in the /pages folder. Then call it in your template with

Code:

<?php include (WB_PATH."/pages/sfpg.php"); ?>

.

If you wanna have the code only on a specific pages then use option2 from above but do not place the code in the index.php of your template. Make a code section on the page where you need the code and add there

Code:

include (WB_PATH."/pages/sfpg.php");

Thats all
