How can I include another PHP file in the templates?

[Chris]

Open the 4images html template where you would like to include your PHP file and include it like this:

Code: [Select]

<?php 
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/relative/path/to/my/include.php"); 
?>Next, open includes/constants.php and change

Code: [Select]

// Allow execution of PHP code in templates
define('EXEC_PHP_CODE', 0);to this

Code: [Select]

// Allow execution of PHP code in templates
define('EXEC_PHP_CODE', 1);
PLEASE be sure to read this FAQ forum topic: http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=3378
for information regarding some limitations and possible solutions for working with certain types of PHP scripts.

[UPDATE]
If you are using relative path ./ inbetween the templates, then be advised, that php will look for files in includes/ directory and not 4images root!
i.e. if used

Code: [Select]

<?php
include("./somephpfile.php");
?>the somephpfile.php must be placed in includes/ folder.

Hello.
For me it's not working too
I've done what told in the post, but when I click "save changes" it shows me a blank space. I go to the gallery page and no changes were done! I mean, I add the php include but no changes happen.

Any suggestion? Thanks!

Did you apply all the bug fixes? I guess you didnt.

[mawenzi]

as you can see on top of index.php

Code: [Select]

$main_template = 'home';
