phpBB3 Website Integration Framework | Whizby Basic

[Kane Kane]

I'm sorry for the double post but I couldn't edit.

Anyway, I tried this:

Code: Select all

$template->set_custom_template($phpbb_root_path . 'styles/' . $user->theme['template_path'] . '/template');

But I forgot how to make $user->theme['template_path'] pull the users template id

All this trying to remember is making my head hurt. I'm probably not even making sense, and this is probably going to end up embarrassing me because it's so simple.

This doesn't even matter, that method would still make the framework pull the entire template system, including the overall_header.html etc from phpBB instead of the framework which defeats the entire purpose of this mod. -slapownface.

Ok. Taking a step back.

We need to pull ONLY CSS/Images from the forum's current default theme.
The template files need to be handled by framework so we can have our own special pages outside of the phpbb directory.
Why is this being difficult.

Just tried this in website_class.php

Code: Select all

         'T_THEME_PATH'      => PHPBB_ROOT_PATH . 'styles/' . $user->theme['theme_path'] . '/theme',
         'T_TEMPLATE_PATH'      => SITE_ROOT . 'templates',
         'T_STYLESHEET_LINK'      => PHPBB_ROOT_PATH . 'styles/' . $user->theme['theme_path'] . '/theme/stylesheet.css',


Still no good.

Ok so as it stands I'm hoping to find someone in the community who knows what it would take to be able to do this:

Force the framework to use the /theme folder from whatever style the forum was using but not use it's /template folder.

The idea is for the website to switch styles automatically as they are switched on the forum.

I know I could just copy/paste the "/theme/images" and whatever changes were made to the css, but there has to be a more dynamic solution.

My previous post has what I tried and was probably the closest I could get, but for whatever reason, it's not recognizing "$user->theme['theme_path']". I'm sure it has something to do with not including the right file in the right place, but that's beyond my php knowledge. I'm a style designer...

I also noticed that {T_THEME_PATH} wouldn't work in a .css file that was outside of phpBB3 directory and you changed all the image links from;

Code: Select all

url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/bg_list.gif")

to

Code: Select all

url("./images/bg_list.gif")

Was there no way to preserve being able to use {T_THEME_PATH}?

Okay, hold up a minute, I’m going to dive into the code (been a while) and see if I can figure out what you need and what you should do.

[Kane Kane]

var_dump($user->theme['theme_path']); results in NULL

(I wish I could just edit)

[Highway of Life]

Okay, that means that either $user is not being defined (globalized), or the session is not being called.

What do you mean by that?
You can edit whatever you need to. -- If you think something needs to be changed, submit a patch and I’ll incorporate it.

No I meant edit my posts, I feel like I'm being an [*donkey*] when I have to make a whole new post for a small update, I don't mean to make so many posts back to back.

Anyway, I just tested with var_dump($user->data['username']); which output string(4) "Kane" so..

[Kane Kane]

I just thought of something, would this be happening if register_globals was off? I'm using wampserver 2.0 for all this testing.

Edit: Never mind, stupid question. Obviously we're not using $_GET, $_POST etc..

[Kane Kane]

I just thought of and tried this as well, with no luck

Code: Select all

T_THEME_PATH'      => (!$user->theme['theme_storedb']) ? "{$php_root_path}styles/" . $user->theme['template_path'] . '/theme' : append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}style.$phpEx", 'id=' . $user->theme['style_id'] . '&lang=' . $user->data['user_lang']),

I think if you remove

Code: Select all

$template->set_custom_template(SITE_ROOT . SITE_TEMPLATE_PATH, SITE_TEMPLATE_NAME);


from common.php it will use the default phpBB3 users style path.
