Raven,

I.m still trying to get his table.pho to execute one set of fungtions if the forums module is callled and another set if anything else is called.

Problem is I must have a syntax error in that it doesen't call the second set of functions after the "else" in line 25.

Code:

?php
if ($module == $forums){

function OpenTable() {

echo "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" ><tr><td class=>\n";
echo "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" ><tr><td>\n";
}

function CloseTable() {
echo "</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>\n";
}

function OpenTable2() {

echo "<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\"><tr><td class=nothing>\n";
echo "<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" ><tr><td>\n";
}

function CloseTable2() {
echo "</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>\n";
end;
}

} else {

function OpenTable() {
echo "<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"100%\"><tr>
<td width=\"15\" height=\"15\"><img src=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/up-left2.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"></td>
<td background=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/up2.gif\" align=\"center\" width=\"100%\" height=\"15\"> </td>
<td><img src=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/up-right2.gif\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"></td></tr>
<tr>
<td background=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/left2.gif\" width=\"15\"> </td>
<td bgcolor=\"fffcd9\" width=\"100%\">";
}

function OpenTable2() {

echo "<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\"><tr>
<td width=\"15\" height=\"15\"><img src=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/up-left2.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\"><tr>
<td background=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/up2.gif\" align=\"center\" height=\"15\"> </td>
<td><img src=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/up-right2.gif\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"></td></tr>
<tr>
<td background=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/left2.gif\" width=\"15\"> </td>
<td bgcolor=\"fffcd9\">";
}

function CloseTable() {
echo "</td>
<td background=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/right2.gif\"> </td></tr>
<tr>
<td width=\"15\" height=\"15\"><img src=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/down-left2.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"></td>
<td background=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/down2.gif\" align=\"center\" height=\"15\"> </td>
<td><img src=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/down-right2.gif\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"></td></tr>
</td></tr></table>
<br>";
}

function CloseTable2() {
echo "</td>
<td background=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/right2.gif\"> </td></tr>
<tr>
<td width=\"15\" height=\"15\"><img src=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/down-left2.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"></td>
<td background=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/down2.gif\" align=\"center\" height=\"15\"> </td>
<td><img src=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/down-right2.gif\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"></td></tr>
</td></tr></table>
<br>";
}
}
?>

all teh table functions work great separately but I can't get the if....else code to work.

Thanks

In line 22 you have

end;

php doesn't like that Wink

All I need to do is remove

Code:

end;

and have it read

Code:

function CloseTable2() {
echo "</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>\n";

}

} else {

and the if else is OK?

Also I wasn't sure about

Code:

if ($module == $forums){

function OpenTable() {

Is that syntax OK?

Thanks

Tony, I am not testing this code. I am just trying to eyeball it when you say you have a specific error. Syntax wise those look ok.

tonydg · Hangin' Around Joined: Jul 16, 2003 Posts: 26

Raven,

This code is my first set of function - no borders/ no /backgrounds
works perfect as a standalone code.

Code:

My second set of function also work perfect - makes background color and borders.

Code:

I still dont have the if else right - previous post never calls second set of functios.

I need to put a lineof code that handles the

Code:

If the module is forums.php ---run the first set of functions taht follows

Then I need to inset code between teh fisrt and second funtiions that funtions to:

Code:

For anything else run this second set of functions

Then all I need is the right ending code after teh second set of functions.
All I need is the if /else coding and the end.

Thanks

Tony

How about some code like

Code:

if (!eregi("forums.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
//run first routine
}
else {
//run second routine
}

Raven,

I tried to imsert the code - still won't run second set of routines.

Code:

<?php
if (!eregi("forums.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {

function OpenTable() {

echo "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" ><tr><td class=>\n";
echo "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" ><tr><td>\n";
}

function CloseTable() {
echo "</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>\n";
}

function OpenTable2() {

echo "<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\"><tr><td class=nothing>\n";
echo "<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" ><tr><td>\n";
}

function CloseTable2() {
echo "</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>\n";
}
}
else {

function OpenTable() {
echo "<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"100%\"><tr>
<td width=\"15\" height=\"15\"><img src=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/up-left2.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"></td>
<td background=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/up2.gif\" align=\"center\" width=\"100%\" height=\"15\">&</td>
<td><img src=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/up-right2.gif\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"></td></tr>
<tr>
<td background=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/left2.gif\" width=\"15\">&</td>
<td bgcolor=\"fffcd9\" width=\"100%\">";
}

function OpenTable2() {

echo "<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\"><tr>
<td width=\"15\" height=\"15\"><img src=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/up-left2.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\"><tr>

<tr>
<td background=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/left2.gif\" width=\"15\">&</td>
<td bgcolor=\"fffcd9\">";
}

function CloseTable() {
echo "</td>
<td background=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/right2.gif\">&</td></tr>
<tr>
<td width=\"15\" height=\"15\"><img src=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/down-left2.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"></td>
<td background=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/down2.gif\" align=\"center\" height=\"15\">&</td>
<td><img src=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/down-right2.gif\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"></td></tr>
</td></tr></table>
<br>";
}

function CloseTable2() {
echo "</td>
<td background=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/right2.gif\">&</td></tr>
<tr>
<td width=\"15\" height=\"15\"><img src=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/down-left2.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"></td>
<td background=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/down2.gif\" align=\"center\" height=\"15\">&</td>
<td><img src=\"themes/XtremeDream/images/down-right2.gif\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"></td></tr>
</td></tr></table>
<br>";
}
}
?>

Did I create a syntax error putting the code in?

Remove the ! for routine 1 to be used. I'm still checking the routine.

tonydg · Hangin' Around Joined: Jul 16, 2003 Posts: 26

Raven,

Like this?

Code:

if (eregi("forums.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {

Be gentle still a php newbie

Raven · Posted: Wed Aug 13, 2003 11:21 am

Yes. I still don't know id that will work, but it will be syntactically correct whereas the other one wasn't.

tonydg · Hangin' Around Joined: Jul 16, 2003 Posts: 26

Raven

The string without the"!" skips over the first routine and just runs the second.

Could it be possible to use something like

Code:

if (eregi($module_name = Forums, $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {

This is frustrating as each routine works perfectly independently - just cant make if/else work.

Wait a minute! What folder is this file in?

tonydg · Hangin' Around Joined: Jul 16, 2003 Posts: 26

File is in my themes folder. We took the Mtechnik Ultra theme and created a block.html and tables.php file to give us independent control over images and borders.

File location is : site/themes/XtremeDream/tables.php

TDG

Raven · Posted: Wed Aug 13, 2003 12:13 pm

That matters! So, now tell me, what is the condition that calls routine 1, as opposed to routine 2? When do I call routine 1?

tonydg · Hangin' Around Joined: Jul 16, 2003 Posts: 26

If the user clicks "Forums" the program should run the first routine - so that when the Forums page is viewed it has no background color or border.

If any other module is selected it should run routine 2 - which puts a border and background in.

Taking the "!" out makes the tables.php run only the second routine.
In IE the borders and background routine totally scsrews up the Forums page. In Netscape and Mozilla it just corrupts the Forums right and bottom border.

That is why we decided to do an if/then funtion - if Forums is clicked there will be no border and background on the page. If any othe rmodule is clicked there will be a border and background which is mandatory for this theme to work tight.

If you look at the site you can see routine 2 in action

Only registered users can see links on this board!
Get registered or login to the forums!

then go to forums and see the problem (especially in IE)!

Thanks

Try this. In the Forums hyperlink, add a variable pair, r1 (for routine1). So the link will look like this:

Code:

http://multimodalmedia.com/site/modules.php?name=Forums&r1=1

Then, change your IF test to

Code:

if ($_GET['r1']) {
routine 1
}
else {
routine 2
}

tonydg · Hangin' Around Joined: Jul 16, 2003 Posts: 26

Do you mean:

#!

Code:

<?php
if ($_GET['r1']) {

function OpenTable() {

or

#2

Code:

<?php
if ($_GET['r1']) {
routine 1
}

function OpenTable() {

Also excuse my newness - wher do I go to change the Forums hyperlink?

Thanks

TDG

Raven · Posted: Wed Aug 13, 2003 12:54 pm

#1. And instead of altering the hyperlink, add this line to the Forums/index.php somewhere near the top, like before define('IN_PHPBB', true);

$r1 = 1;

Then, make that $_GET line this:

<?php
if ($r1) {

function OpenTable() {

I have a conference call I have to attend so I'll be back later.

Must have done it wron - still getting routine 2 only, even if you click forums.

Here is modified forums index.php

Code:

if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']))
{
die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}
if ($popup != "1")
{
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
require("modules/".$module_name."/nukebb.php");
}
else
{
$phpbb_root_path = 'modules/Forums/';
}
$r1 = 1;
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.'.$phpEx);

here is modified start of tables.php

Code:

?php
if ($r1) {

function OpenTable() {

echo "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" ><tr><td class=>\n";
echo "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" ><tr><td>\n";
}

function CloseTable() {
echo "</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>\n";
}

function OpenTable2() {

echo "<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\"><tr><td class=nothing>\n";
echo "<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" ><tr><td>\n";
}

function CloseTable2() {
echo "</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>\n";
}

}
else {

function OpenTable() {

where did I go wrong?

Raven · Posted: Wed Aug 13, 2003 2:06 pm

That just means that $r1 isn't getting recognized [yet]. Can I just have ftp access to your site? it would really make this a whole lot easier. i will then be changing code until I get it working. Send me, in a PM, your ftp url, id, and password.

Your host does not allow .htaccess files Mad

Can you get them to turn register_globals ON?

Raven · Posted: Wed Aug 13, 2003 3:28 pm

Try it now. I think I got it. And if so you don't need to contact your host!

tonydg · Hangin' Around Joined: Jul 16, 2003 Posts: 26

Raven,

They just turned it on. And rebooted the server.
probably kicked you from FTP

Should be able to get on now.

Checked in IE, Netscape and Mozilla - all good so far.

You are the best!!!!
