Create a php page

Warwick · #1 01-15-2007, 04:28 AM

I have searched and tried for hours in a row but don't manage to create a php page which displays a certain lbl from the database. In static pages this works but I don't get it to work with a php page ...

Can somebody help me out with this?

Did you associate a .tpl file with the php file?

Warwick · #3 01-15-2007, 04:49 AM

I did the following; I created a .php file and a .tpl file as follows:

Php file (called new_page.php situated in shop directory):

Code:

<?php 

require "./auth.php"; 
require $xcart_dir."/include/categories.php"; 

if($active_modules["Manufacturers"]) 
include $xcart_dir."/modules/Manufacturers/customer_manufacturers.php"; 

if(!defined('XCART_SESSION_START')){ header("Location: ../"); die("Access denied");}

$location[] = array(func_get_langvar_by_name("lbl_new_page"), "new_page.php");

$smarty->assign("_new_page_",$_new_page_); 
$smarty->assign("main","_new_page_"); 

$smarty->assign("location", $location); 
$smarty->assign("products",$products); 

func_display("customer/home.tpl",$smarty); 

?>

Tpl file (called new_page.tpl situated in skin1/customer/):

Code:

{$lng.lbl_new_page}

In the language section of the database I've created 'lbl_new_page'

Opening new_page.php results in:
'Page not found! The requested page does not exist or you are not allowed to access it! '

Did you add the if statement to customer/home_main.tpl?

Yes, sorry forgot to mention, I added

Code:

{* New page *}
{elseif $main eq "new_page"}
{include file="new_page.tpl"}
{* New page End *}

under

Code:

{elseif $smarty.get.mode eq "unsubscribed"}
{include file="main/unsubscribe_confirmation.tpl"}

Should be...

Code:

{* New page *}
{elseif $main eq "_new_page_"}
{include file="new_page.tpl"}
{* New page End *}

Thanks PhilJ,

I do get something else now:

Code:

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "new_page.tpl" in /home/my_name/public_html/shop/Smarty-2.6.12/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

Ensure the new_page.tpl is in your /skin1 directory.

I got it working now, the new_page.tpl was in skin1/customer; I have placed it in skin1 and now it works

Thanks for the help!
