Modification Name: Php Style

Author(s): AllenAyres

Description: Creates a vars_style.inc.php file in whch you can include your forum styles/header/footer/etc into any php page.

Demo: none

Requirements: ubb.classic™ 6.7

Download Link: https://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/upload/00000494/php_style.zip

Credits: Burak for lots of assistance thumbsup and Charles Capps for pointers

Rather easy to install and run. It's of beta quality only because I didn't include any visual info (html) that the file actually did what it was supposed to. You modify cp.cgi and upload the the included .cgi file and access it via your forum's /cp.cgi?ubb=styles_php. It runs and writes the vars_style.inc.php file, giving you all the styles data you could need to use in any php page in your site. Require the file into your .php file (example: index.php) and call the variables ($Header, $Footer, $TableTop, $TableColorStrip, $FontFace, etc. etc. etc.) - for a full list, check the included file for what variables are written.

Here is suggested code for an index.php page:

Code
<?PHP

/*
ubb.php index
*/
// ----------------- EDIT ----------------------
// Path to vars_config.inc.php
$varspath = "your/ubb/vars/path";
// ---------------------------------------------
// load required files
$Header = addslashes($Header);
require "{$varspath}/vars_config.inc.php";
require "{$varspath}/vars_style.inc.php";

echo <<<UBBPRINT
<html><head>

$HeaderInsert

</head>
<body bgcolor="$BGColor" text="$TextColor" link="$LinkColor" vlink="$VisitedLinkColor" alink = "$ActiveLinkColor">
<!--begin header-->

$Header

<!--end header-->
<!--begin footer-->

$Footer
UBBPRINT;
?>
<!--end footer-->


</body></html>

Allen, in the next version could you make it so it updates the file if it already exists? You have it so if it already exists, it does nothing, but a lot of people change their styles

Allen, I have to say I love this mod. I've been constantly editing my main page so it matched any changed I made to my forums, but with a little editing of your mod, I have it adding my copyright notice, my ubb version, the main buttons line, and $show_logout

The $TableTop and $TableBottom variables are really saving me some constant typing compared to adding in $TBT by hand Thanks to this mod, I'm finally converting my main page over to entirely PHP
