X-Cart forums

I would like to run a simple php photo gallery as an embedded page from within x-cart.

However, it appears that only .html embedded static pages are created. Is this correct?

Can someone point me in the right direction.

Big Thanks!

You can if you copy the home.tpl file and rename it something else eg, photo_gallery.tpl get rid of the line home_main.tpl, where that was you can put you php code etc.

The in the actual customer php which call the tpl files copy home.php rename it photo_gallery.php and replace the line

$smarty->display("customer/home.tpl");

with

$smarty->display("customer/photo_gallery.tpl");

this should allow you to have your photo gallery page but with the x-cart features as well.

hope that helps. sorry if it seems rather rushed.

thanks for the reply. I follow all of that.

My next question is can I put php code directly in a .tpl page?
so on photo_gallery.tpl - in that area between:





do I simply insert all the php code?
or must I do an include.
What is the syntax for that?

Sorry, I've not mixed php and smarty before.

to use php code in smarty you can use

{php}
echo "here is my php code";
{/php}

In this case, you'd be better doing an include, or you could do a php include

{php}
include "file.php";
{/php}

FunkyDunk has a simple gallery mod for X-Cart @ http://www.prodynamix.co.uk. I used it for a while and it is good for a simple mod.
