Im tring to get joshpets generic page mod to work in another folder but the links are not working right. I assume its something as simple as changing the paths but I tried several variants and still cant get it to work.

as it is now, the generic.php file has to go in the main forum folder. and then the generic.tmpl file goes in the templates folder. What I want to do is place the generic.php file in forum/halo2/members folder and the generic.tmpl file in forum/halo2/membertemps. so if someone went to myforum/halo2/members/generic.php it would bring up a working page.

The path in the generic.php file is
// Require the library
require ("$threadspath/includes/main.inc.php");

and the path for that to call the .tmpl file is
if (!$debug) {
include("$thispath/templates/$tempstyle/drchaos.tmpl");

I did change the path to call the tmpl file to
include("$thispath/halo2/membertemps/generic.tmpl");

what should I try?

The templates would go in the ubbthreads template directory same as the others. The php script can go anywhere - but you'll need to edit $threadspath near the top of the file if it's not inside the UBB.Threads directory.

WOOT, got it to work.

I changed the path in the php file from this:
$threadspath = ".";

to this:
$threadspath = "/home/leetgame/public_html/";

and from this:
include("$thispath/templates/$tempstyle/generic.tmpl");

to this:
include("$thispath/halo2/memberstats/membertemplates/drchaos.tmpl");

Thanks for the push josh

now if I could get xml to show correctly inside that page I will get a cookie......

I also found a very nice resource for xml if anyone ever needs it.
