UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Adding php to template?

Is there a way to comment out a portion of the UBBTPRINT stuff so that I can drop a quick PHP query into a template, or would have to edit the php script itself?

Basically I want to add something:

<!-- <? //UBBTREMARK -->
<!-- echo <<<UBBTPRINT -->

$tbopen
<tr>
<td class="tdheader">
{$ubbt_lang['PROF_FOR']} $profileuser
</td>
</tr>
$tbclose

$tbopen
<tr>
<td class="lighttable"><table border="0" width="100%" class="lighttable" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="10%" class="darktable">
{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_EMAIL']}
</td>
<td width="40%">
<a href="mailto:$Fakeemail">$Fakeemail</a>

</td>
<td align="right" valign="top" rowspan="12">
<img src="$Picture" alt="Picture" width="$width" height="$height" />

RIGHT HERE...but it would involve a query

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="darktable">
{$ubbt_lang['MEMBER_ID']}
</td>
<td>
$User

I would personally do the query in the actual php script and then link to it in the template.

Aye, that is the easy way...but what I explained to the few people that want this, is I have to add the php code and modify the template each time I upgrade the boards.

Which is a pain in the arse!

Actually in any template - you can go back into php mode with this code:



UBBTPRINT; //UBBTREMARK

// put your php code here

echo <<<UBBTPRINT


Edit the file directly - don't use the online editor for doing PHP code.

yeah but Josh would you put a db query in a template? or in the actually file that calls the template?

It's best in the script - but it's possible to put actual code and queries into the template. So it's "neater" not to have it in the template, but it works.

And for the one query "check" and link I will output...that will work well.

Thanks Josh...all that UBBTPRINT; //UBBTREMARK stuff makes my head hurt. I know php fairly well...but have not sat down to figure that stuff out yet.
