Special tags and how to add your own?

[johanz]

You see themes have special tags like:
{GAL_NAME}
{LANGUAGE_SELECT_FLAGS}
{GALLERY}
etc.
So, how do I make my own tag like {banners} and it will show content from php,html page?

[johanz]

Anyone?

[Nibbler]

They are in the pageheader/pagefooter functions.

[johanz]

Can you explain if it is possible to add your own to a theme ?

[Nibbler]

Yeah. You copy the pageheader or pagefooter functions from the sample theme into your theme.php and modify that.

[johanz]

Okay,I found how to do that and now I need little help for stupid me.
I added {BANNERS} tag and made it to be $bannerpage
Now I need this $bannerpage to be include('banners.php')

If 'banners.php' outputs the banners, try

Code Select Expand

'{BANNERS}' => include('banners.php')

[Nibbler]

Code Select Expand

'{BANNERS}' => cpg_get_custom_include('banners.php'),

[johanz]

Strange I added '{BANNERS}' => cpg_get_custom_include('banners.php'), to my pagefooter at the end, but in theme {BANNERS} remains the same. I dont get errors or anything

[Nibbler]

If {BANNERS} is before {GALLERY} it belongs in pageheader. If it's after {GALLERY} then it goes in pagefooter.

Some code, that returns something like

Code Select Expand

<a href="http://www.google.com"><img src="banner.png" /></a>
