Adding to the Gallery title bar (split topic, breadcrumb issue, heredoc syntax)

[tgontz]

I am also trying to add the search feature to the bread crumb area. However, when I attempt to do this, my gallery will not load. All I get is a blank screen.

Here is what I did:

I copied the following from the sample theme:

Code Select Expand

EOT;
// HTML template for the breadcrumb
$template_breadcrumb = <<<EOT
<!-- BEGIN breadcrumb -->
        <tr>
                <td colspan="3" align="left" class="tableh1"><span class="statlink"><b>{BREADCRUMB}</b></span></td>
        </tr>
<!-- END breadcrumb -->


I then pasted it into my Classic theme, will now looks like this:

Code Select Expand

        </tr>

?>

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

You're missing the EOT; line, before the ?> line.

The syntax <<<EOT means to include all the following text up to but not including a line which only includes the text specified, in this case "EOT".

That did the trick! Thank you!

Now, onto a related question:

Do I/should I start and end each section that I am going to edit with EOT; ?

OR do I just need EOT; at end before the ?>

Thanks!

For each & every variable you copy from sample/theme.php that has an "EOT" at the beginning, you need to copy down to the following EOT; line.  That's how you copy from sample/theme.php.  For functions, you need to copy down to the closing brace for the function.

If you want to create your own variables and use this syntax, look up "heredoc syntax" on php.net.
