I need bit of help to code this page..

[2008paul]

Well, I am coding a page what will be called something like "Info.php"

I need help with two things.

(one)
How can I add the over all heder to the new page?

(2)
How can I center text on the page?

 

[Zenrer]

1. Where is it located in regards to your forum root

2. Depends if you want everything centered.

 

[2008paul]

(1) I don't know where it's located in though.

(2) Yes I want every thing centered.

 

[Zenrer]

1. In <?php ?> brackets, do include("./styles/STYLENAME/template/overall_header.html")

2. Enclose everything in <center> </center> tags

Add this to the top of your info.html

<!-- INCLUDE overall_header.html -->

Just did and did not work :S

Here is what I have.

<!-- INCLUDE overall_header.html -->

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body,td,th {
	color: #FFFFFF;
}
body {
	background-image: url("http://www.macwallpapers.eu/bulkupload/Fun//Funny/Crazy%20Animals%20Funny%20Mac%20Background.jpg");
}
-->
</style><br>
<br>
<br>
<center>Test page</center>

 

[Zenrer]

That would be your best bet, yes.

But where is this info.php file in conjunction with your phpBB root path?

And also, did you enclose the include function in php tags, and also I missed a ; at the end of the include function.

Tutorial made easier:

Info.php:

<?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);

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

page_header('Info');

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

make_jumpbox(append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}viewforum.$phpEx"));
page_footer();
?>

info.html (found in current themes template folder)

<!-- INCLUDE overall_header.html -->

<h2>Info</h2>

<div class="panel">
   <div class="inner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span>

   <div class="content">
      CONTENT GOES HERE!
   </div>

   <span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div>
</div>

<!-- INCLUDE jumpbox.html -->
<!-- INCLUDE overall_footer.html -->

And just put content in the content div

Did you refresh your style?

---

Try renaming "info.html" to "info_body.html" then find:

'body' => 'info.html',

And replace with:

'body' => 'info_body.html',

I dunno if it'll make a difference but phpBB uses _body for the templates.

 

[Zenrer]

OK, is your info.php found in the same directory as your forum?

 

[Zenrer]

And alzo ZPromotion, I said that I made it easier.

Thank you that worked.
Thanks all.
