Problem adding custom placeholders

[emilianors]

hi all,
i read and tried everything i could on this site and im getting crazy since yesterday.
i tried a lot of things i read here, i did the header before GALLERY and footer after...

im under cpg1420 using "i-feel-dirty" Theme, which im modifiting.

the link is http://www.emi.drbaraka.com.ar/cpg1420/
there custom placeholders below "Links"

Code theme.php

Code Select Expand

// Function for writing a pagefooter
function pagefooter()
{
    //global $HTTP_GET_VARS, $HTTP_POST_VARS, $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
    global $USER, $USER_DATA, $ALBUM_SET, $CONFIG, $time_start, $query_stats, $queries;;
    global $template_footer;

    $custom_footer = cpg_get_custom_include($CONFIG['test.php']);
    $album_updates = cpg_get_custom_include($CONFIG['./test.php']);

    if ($CONFIG['debug_mode']==1 || ($CONFIG['debug_mode']==2 && GALLERY_ADMIN_MODE)) {
    cpg_debug_output();
    }

    $template_vars = array(
        '{SYS_MENU}' => theme_main_menu('sys_menu'),
        '{SUB_MENU}' => theme_main_menu('sub_menu'),
        '{CUSTOM_FOOTER}' => $custom_footer,
'{ALBUM_UPDATES}' => $album_updates,
'{VANITY}' => (defined('THEME_IS_XHTML10_TRANSITIONAL') && $CONFIG['vanity_block']) ? theme_vanity() : '',
    );

    echo template_eval($template_footer, $template_vars);
}


note:
   $album_updates = cpg_get_custom_include($CONFIG['./test.php']);
the link of the real php is: http://www.emi.drbaraka.com.ar/cpg1420/themes/i-feel-dirty/test.php
i tried:
$album_updates = cpg_get_custom_include($CONFIG['./test.php']);
$album_updates = cpg_get_custom_include($CONFIG['/test.php']);
$album_updates = cpg_get_custom_include($CONFIG['http://www.emi.drbaraka.com.ar/cpg1420/themes/i-feel-dirty/test.php']);

can't make it work.

any help will be great.

Not a bright idea to use such a version-dependant URL. Cool URIs never change, so you should change http://www.emi.drbaraka.com.ar/cpg1420/ to http://www.emi.drbaraka.com.ar/gallery/ or http://www.emi.drbaraka.com.ar/pictures/ or whatever.

   $album_updates = cpg_get_custom_include($CONFIG['./test.php']);

That's because yours is not actual code but just wishfull thinking. I can't even think where to start modifying your proposed code.
Look up PHP's native include command. Read up about relative and absolute paths.
Don't use includes if you don't understand the underlying basics about paths. Don't even try to include by URL.

i got your point, i read the link(s) you sent me and tried differents url and stuff,
thing is i understand there's a mayor problem, or something i can't handle or know enought about,
what i did in the beggining was do what i see in the next link http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,37226.0.html and couldn't make it work..

is there any "easiest" way to do this? or another way to help me out with this?


any help is VERY welcome

thank u
