How to use php in your template? + errors in the docs

[MaThIbUs]

Well, the title says it all...

I tried renaming template.html to template.php and then change the variable in includes/init.inc.php, but it just doesn't seem to work

btw, there are some small errors in the documentation:

To create a new template the best solution is to use an existing one as a basis. Do do that make a copy of the folder of the theme you want to use as a basis then edit the "template.html" and "template.php" files and replace all occurences of "themes/old_theme_dir" with "themes/new_theme_dir" in order for the links to point to the correct place.

It should say:

you simply can't use php in the templates (see faq: custom header).
Thanks for pointing out the typos, I updated the dev version of the readme accordingly.

Thanks for the reply. I'll try editing theme.php then.

I thought it might've been possible using a hack, as there's a mod for this for phpBB... More info about that here.
