Path to theme

[nanothree]

I sthere a variable that holds the path to the theme? i want to use the delete image but i want to make sure it will wokr with any theme that has a delete image in themes/THEME_NAME/images/

Code Select Expand

$CONFIG['theme']
holds the theme name.

You can use

Code Select Expand

"themes/".$CONFIG['theme']."/images/"; to go to current theme's images directory

hmmmm there is a rather odd problem, if i use:

Code Select Expand

echo$CONFIG['theme'];

it outputs the theme, however if i use it inside my function:

Code Select Expand


function links(){
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM links ORDER BY name';
$sql = mysql_query($sql);
echo '<table width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">';
while($r = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
  echo
  '<tr>
<td width="70%"><h1><a href="'.$r['url'].'">'.$r['name'].'</a></h1></td>
<td width="30%"><a href="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?action=report&id='.$r['id'].'" title="'.$lang_links_php['report'].'"><div align="right"><img src="themes/'.$CONFIG['theme'].'/images/delete.gif" border="0" alt="Report Bad Link"></a></div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
<td colspan="2">'.$r['description'].'</td>
  </tr>';
};
echo '</table>';
};

it doesnt work can you see why?

try $USER['theme'] - the code

Code Select Expand

// Process theme selection if present in URI or in user profile
if (!empty($HTTP_GET_VARS['theme'])) {
    $USER['theme'] = $HTTP_GET_VARS['theme'];
}
// Load theme file
if (isset($USER['theme']) && !strstr($USER['theme'], '/') && is_dir('themes/' . $USER['theme'])) {
    $CONFIG['theme'] = strtr($USER['theme'], '$/\\:*?"\'<>|`', '____________');
} else {
    unset($USER['theme']);
}

if (!file_exists("themes/{$CONFIG['theme']}/theme.php")) $CONFIG['theme'] = 'classic';
require "themes/{$CONFIG['theme']}/theme.php";
$THEME_DIR = "themes/{$CONFIG['theme']}/";
// Process language selection if present in URI or in user profile or try
// autodetection if default charset is utf-8
if (!empty($HTTP_GET_VARS['lang'])) {
    $USER['lang'] = $HTTP_GET_VARS['lang'];
}
in include/init.inc.php fills those vars.

To access an external variable within a function you need to globalise it - this is basic php.

[donnoman]

It's exactly what nibbler said.

your function doesn't have access to variables outside of it unless they are globalised variables.

Code Select Expand


function links(){
 global $CONFIG;
