template variable does not parse in included file

[Aevis]

Hi

I seem to miss something so obvious that i'm almost too ashamed to ask. I have the following two files:

test.php in the boards root directory

Code: Select all

<?php

define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './';
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);
include($phpbb_root_path . '/includes/functions_display.' . $phpEx);

//start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup();

$template->assign_var('TEST',"please display something");

//output page
page_header('test');

$template->set_filenames(array(
    'body' => 'test.html',
));

page_footer();
?>

test.html in the template folder of the active style

Code: Select all

let's check the variable: {TEST}

If I point the browser directly to the file, it works and displays "let's check the variable: please display something" on a blank page. Now i want to include it into the overall_header.html by putting following code at the very end of the overall_header:

Code: Select all

<!-- INCLUDE test.html -->

The inclusion works as i get to see "let's check the variable:" on each page after the header part, however it doesn't parse the {TEST} variable. Any help is very appreciated.

The variable is only available within the page you define it in. If you want it to be available on every page you need to add it to the template array in includes/functions.php - function page_header()
