Renameing template.html to php

[Nibbler]

If it contains static content then use

Code Select Expand

return file_get_contents('file');

If it contains php code then do

Code Select Expand

ob_start();
include('file');
return ob_get_clean();

Thanks for the suggestion, but those two commands were the first one I tried and both gives me a blank (white) screen. 

Edit: When I put this into the theme.php

Code Select Expand

ob_start();
include('file');

...and this into the template.html

Code Select Expand

return ob_get_clean();

The content of the php shows up on the template fil, but the command wipes everything else..

I want to include a php file(s) that allows me to get information from my phpbb forum. I've included two files (there are more)
that gives an example of what I mean. While the engine file connects to the forum, the newposts file shows the actual content.

The database connectors of phpbb and cpg will interfere, you can't do that. If you have bridged coppermine and phpbb already, you won't have to connect twice to phpbb. You simply can't include anything.
