Including peices of html code in modules

Misha · Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 11:32 am

I'm thinking of writing my own links module, cause I'm not happy with SEO unfriandly standard one.

Several SEO applications are able of producing html code for the links page, the challenge is to include this code as it is in a nuke module as include file.

So, the question is: will the following code found in theme.php do the trick?:

Code:

$tmpl_file = "XXXX/XXXX/my_links.html";
$thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));
$thefile = addslashes($thefile);
$thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";
eval($thefile);
print $r_file;

Thanks, Misha

Funny you should mention that...I am looking into that, too, but the result is a while off.

Not sure this will do what you want. The purpose of the code you posted is to replace variables in a template file with data in PHP variables, then display the result. If your variables are defined and the template file contains references to those variables, this might work. But if the HTML is hard coded in the template file, there's no need to use this approach.

No surprise the author of nukeSEO is looking into this Smile

As I realize after a year of struggling for traffic, nuke is SOOOOOOO seo unfriendly Sad

Anyways, thanks for explaining the code - I learn something every time I talk to you, guys. Very Happy

Any advice on what will do the trick for me? Ideally something like include statement? Cause I really don't want to take the pure html file and stuff it with quotes and slashes every time I add or remove a link.

Thanks, Misha

If you don't have any variables in the HTML, you could remove the eval and do something like:

Code:

$tmpl_file = "XXXX/XXXX/my_links.html";
$thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));
$thefile = addslashes($thefile);
$thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";
print $r_file;

Thanks, Kevin Smile

It does not work without eval though, but works fine with it. Since my goal is just to have it working, I'm leaving this as it is.

Funny thing. Today I stumbled upon the code that makes me thinking I can just use include statement for this. Any thoughts before I give it a try?

Yep, it's confirmed. Simple include statement does the trick LOL.
