a news script to integrate with 4images

[Kee-Lo]

Hi Jan

I am a real newbie to php, and I was wondering how I would go about installing a news script into the 4images portal.  I have done everything that the script tells me, but when it comes to this code, I get a parser error, I put it in index.php

Code: [Select]

<? include(news/news.php); ?>

Where am I going wrong?

[Chris]

Code: [Select]

<? include(news/news.php); ?>
Try this instead, exactly as shown here:

Code: [Select]

<?php
include(news/news.php);
?>

sorry, that doesn't work either I am confused where I should put this code.  Is it in the templates or in index.php on the root?

I want it to show after the "whos logged in" bit

In the templates.  Be sure your starting tag is

Code: [Select]

<?php 
Your link assumes the news directory found in news/news.php is at the same location where you have the 4images index.php

Parse error: parse error in template.php(133) : eval()'d code on line 368

 

I out it the full http address too

whats wrong with this thing?[/quote]

Silly me, I missed the double quotes.

Code: [Select]

<?php 
include("news/news.php"); 
?>URLs won't work in php includes.  Check the php documentation at www.php.net

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: loadsettings() in engine.php on line 20

Is this a 4images thing, or does my host not support this function?

I also moved the folder to the templates folder and I got this:

Warning: Failed opening 'news/index.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/data/apache/php/mmp_lib') in template.php(133) : eval()'d code on line 368

In my experience php is supported in the html templates.  I have several php statements working from variable assignments to includes.

Are you using the latest version?

Also be sure includes/constants.php has this line:

Code: [Select]

// Allow execution of PHP code in templates
define('EXEC_PHP_CODE', 1);

If you're going to post the error messages, it would help if you also posted the include code from your templates as well.  Otherwise the error messages don't really help.

One last suggestion comes come to mind:

Use the full server path name to the news script.  If your news script is located here:  /home/www/keelo/htmldocs/news/news.php
your include statement should look like this:

Code: [Select]

<?php
include("/home/www/keelo/htmldocs/news/news.php");
?>

it has that line. i have tried putting simple echo statements in the templatesas a test:

Code: [Select]

<?php echo "helloworld"; ?>
but it doesnt work

[Chris]

Have you tried splitting it into 3 lines?

Code: [Select]

<?php
echo "helloworld"; 
?>
And where in what template do you place this?

[Kee-Lo]

The news scipt has now moved to 4images/templates/news/index.php

I get the error:

Warning: Failed opening 'news/index.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/data/apache/php/mmp_lib') in template.php(133) : eval()'d code on line 368

Here is where the code is in relation to home.html inside the templates/default_wide/ directory:

              {whos_online}
              <br />
<?php
include("news/index.php");
?>

Hope this helps a bit more

ahhh....that was the problem. the three lines did the trick. thats weird though. in php scripts, it shouldnt matter if the code is in one line or three lines. thats just a style issue and not a syntax issue. thats very odd about 4images
