UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications Forum Design Integration add this to a textbox

How can I add this to a custom box, what I have is a file that is uploaded to my server, then a php script pulls data from it and inserts it where ever I want it on a normal html page.
I have to add this to a html page so it can find the data.
<?php
include "/var/www/html/vwsalltags.php";?>

Then I have a line like this The Current Temperature is <?=$zxv007;? which post the text "The Current Temperature is" and inserts the data .

Can I add something like this to a custom box ?


Thanks

Are you talking about an IIP custom box?

Yes Dave sorry about that ...

That should be easy to do. Just edit one of the custombox*.php files, add include "/var/www/html/vwsalltags.php";, and use "The Current Temperature is $zxv007" as the custom text. You wouldn't use the <?php ?> or <? ?> brackets because it's already PHP.

Thanks Dave that sounds too easy.. I appreciate your great product and your help.

You're welcome, but it's not my product.

Wrong Dave Anyway here is a custom box with exactly what you want in it.

Sorry Wrong Dave, Oh well I still appreciate your help

Ok while I am on a roll, what about a java script, can it be included in a custombox too ?

It all depends on what your trying to do?

Javacode can be placed in a template box yes.

Its a applet that reads another text file that is uploaded and scrolls it accross the screen, weather bulletins stuff.

try this

Chuck,

I tried it but got the following error,
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /var/www/html/ubbthreads/pals/custombox3pal.php on line 32

Line 32 is <p align"center">

Okay simple error try this box. The / are missing

Try this box instead

same error Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /var/www/html/ubbthreads/pals/custombox3pal.php on line 31

Line 31 is <p align="center">

I also tried <p align="center">;

see post above with new box

You missed one of the \. You could also do echo <<<END, and then you wouldn't need to escape the quotes.

LOL yes I could do that as well and threat it like a template. Yeah I saw the missing / thanks. I guess I just wanted to do it the hard way.
