Trying to use a php include within my template file.

dRfruitLOOP · June 22, 2004, 10:43:14 PM

For some reason when I add the php include code to my template file it doesn't work at all. It pulls up nothing. I'm trying to add the navigation bar I use on all the other pages of this site to the gallery but for some reason it would seem that it isn't processing the include. I use this very same code on other pages with no issue.

This is the code I use...

Code Select

<?php include("http://www.flat-fish.com/lib/nav.php");?>

Let me know if it would help you to see the whole source template page.

Thanks in advance for any help. And sorry if this has been answered already, I looked and couldn't find anything that looked right for me.

You should link to the image with another kind of path, not with http://
For example:

Code Select

<?php include("/user/usrname/public_html/lib/nav.php");?>
It cannot add externally linked files to a template. It HAS to be on the same site as the template file.

Ok, I fixed the path. Now if you open the template page directly, it includes the stuff I want it to. It still doesn't work right when you view the gallery. I can't figure out what the problem is now.

Gallery: http://www.flat-fish.com/gallery/

template: http://www.flat-fish.com/gallery/themes/default/template.php

As you can see, I added the list at the bottom of the page just as a test. I also altered the init.inc.php file to allow the template page to be a php file.

You can use anycontent.php for that as I'm right.

Hmm... I dunno if I get this right... you mean that your bottom half of the template is not being added?
Well, I can't really see everything but in the source for your gallery it says

Code Select

<?php include("nav.php");?>
<!-- end -->
</div>
<!--Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.3.0--></body>
</html>

at the bottom. It's not supposed to say that include, it's supposed to parse it...
I don't know if you've read this post but I think that might do the trick. Coppermine doesn't allow php in your template normally.

Oh and another question, why do you have @import url as styles in your html? Wouldn't it be a better idea to make them all <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />?
Or is this on purpose?

Sorry but I don't understand what you mean. In all Coppermine themes the standard tag <link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/name/style.css" /> is used.

Burpee · June 23, 2004, 05:51:59 PM

Lol, was referrng to his template

Code Select

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html dir="ltr">
<head>
<title>Flat-Fish.com: Gallery - Home</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />

<link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/default/style.css" />
<link href="http://www.cebus-apella.com/lib/non-b.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import url("http://www.cebus-apella.com/lib/default.css");</style>
<style type="text/css" media="all">@import url("http://www.cebus-apella.com/flat-fish/tb-styles.css");</style>
<style type="text/css" media="all">@import url("http://www.cebus-apella.com/lib/b.css");</style>

I do believe only IE and very few other browsers support @import...

That design is sort of a combination of a few different pages I was playing with so some bits got mixed in weird like that. I've yet to encounter any issue from having it that way so I haven't changed it. If you think it might be a problem for some people, I will change it. I've new to the whole css thing and so I didn't realize that it could be an issue. About the include, I'll give that other thread a look over and see if that does it for me. Thanks

dRfruitLOOP · June 24, 2004, 01:59:46 AM

That tip in the other thread did indeed do the trick. Thanks a lot. Very glad to have that working.

Burpee · June 24, 2004, 03:26:55 PM

No problem

And as for the @import, I remembered that from something I read in the subSilver CSS from phpbb:

Code Select

/* Import the fancy styles for IE only (NS4.x doesn't use the @import function) */
@import url("formIE.css");

So it should indeed not matter, seeing as nobody uses NS4.x anymore

(and people that do are probably haunted by incompatibility day and night so they should be used to it by now

)

http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=2988.0

obviously there is the solution of the problem which i'm also experiencing.......

help pls

Burpee · November 20, 2004, 04:42:10 PM

Hmm... found it again, took me a while to figure out where it was

Open functions.inc.php
Find

Code Select

$template = fread(fopen($template_file, 'r'), filesize($template_file));
Replace with

Code Select

          ob_start();                     // Start output buffering 
  	include ($template_file);       // Parsed file goes to buffer 
  	$template = ob_get_contents();  // Assign buffer to $template 
  	ob_end_clean();                 // Clear buffer and turn off output buffering

Please note that I do not take credit for this code, it was written by someone else quite some time ago...

Fking · November 20, 2004, 06:06:03 PM
