I just upgraded to 7.2. I use to use the old wrapper which was pretty simple for me. I just created a php file that had a little board stuff at the top to call/include all the necessary functions/files and then I could do all my own PHP stuff and all the users board info was accessible to my scripts. then output what I wanted and then include the board footer.
All the info my script produced was shown in the middle section of the boards. This way I could use the boards authentication to do different things in my scripts. Display.. not display..
I see now after the upgrade that the wrapper does not seem to work the same..
Is there a new upgraded wrapper or do I have to dig in and learn smarty and convert all my dynamic content over.
Here is what I do.
1. User hit a custom page. (list of students/classes)
2. I use to check if the user was registered and what groups they had access to.
3. Based on the group access I could display specific data only. This involved getting their id checking their group and then reading from another mysql db.
4. Then based on all that I would output the page and it would look like it was part of the boards because of the wrapper.
Any suggests would be great, cause this smarty stuff is a bit confusing.
