Includephp tag

[ChrisRLG]

You may have done what I did.

I have two admin accounts - the first I do not use - its my backdoor access if anything happens to my active one.

BUT that first admin account was what received the founder admin status when I did my test update to phpBB3b5.

So did you do the same - is the founder admin in your other account.

Yes, he's not the founder probably.
This has changed in CVS: all phpbb2 admins will become phpbb3 founders.

Yes, that's it! I remember from the completion of the conversion process ,that I swiched to the #1 user from my old database, which is not me. Thanks for the clear up, I can modify the DB directly to give me the nessary access!

Thanks a lot

To set yourself to Founder Status:

Code: Select all

UPDATE phpbb_users SET user_type = 3, user_permissions = '' WHERE user_id = x

x = YOUR user_id.

Okay, it's been quite some time since I worked on this concept, but I've just finished a working version of the template.
Basically, it's quite easy to implement:
overall_header.php, Line 1:

Code: Select all

<!-- PHP -->
   //Load the Joomla page
   $file = file_get_contents("http://localhost/exordium/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=27");
<!-- ENDPHP -->

That page you see there is just a blank page. It does not matter where it is because you can replace the Joomla breadcrumb with the phpbb breadcrumb.

overall_header.php, where you want to replace a joomla tag (eg the breadcrumb):

Code: Select all

<!-- PHP -->
   //Breadcrumb
   $startc = strpos($file, "<!-- Start Crumb -->");
   $part = substr($file,0,$startc);
   
   //Print our part out
   echo $part;
<!-- ENDPHP -->
<!-- PhpBB Crumb Start -->
<!-- INCLUDE breadcrumbs.html -->
<!-- PhpBB Crumb End-->
<!-- PHP -->
   $endc = strpos($file, "<!-- End Crumb -->");
   $len = strlen($file);
   $file = substr($file,$endc,$len-$endc);
<!-- ENDPHP -->

overall_footer.php, end of file:

Code: Select all

<!-- PHP -->
   $endc = strpos($file, "<!-- End Other Footer -->");
   $len = strlen($file);
   $file = substr($file,$endc,$len-$endc);
   echo $file;
<!-- ENDPHP -->

Basically, it just replaces things in the Joomla template (for me, it was <!-- Start Section --> through to <!-- End Section -->) with stuff you define in the phpbb template.

Does anyone see any major issues with this, appart from relying on Joomla to be up the whole time? (Specifically performance related)

to see this in action, visit http://forums.exordiumonline.com/ the joomla install is located at http://www.exordiumonline.com/
Note: it breaks with SEF on joomla, because it adds a <base href="joom url"> to the head, but that's easily removed in the first file loading section

Is there a limit to using the include tage on a php page? I'm trying to use it to show 5 RSS feeds and for some reason, only two will show at a given time. I can't get 3 or more to show - is this a problem/limit on my server or phpbb?

Anyone know if there is a limit on phpincludes?
