Using forum variables outside forum

[Zyenet]

Hey everyone,

I'm working on some new features for my website (not the actual forum), and I'm starting off with an admin panel link when the admin is logged in.
I know how to do this inside the forum

<!-- IF U_ACP --><span class="gensmall">[ <a href="{U_ACP}">{L_ACP}</a> ]</span><br /><br /><!-- ENDIF -->

but I can't quite get it to work outside the forum. I made a new PHP file that contains code to get into the forum (posted below), but when I put the admin code at the bottom, it doesn't parse the language file. (Or the <!-- IF --> stuff)

In order to parse the templates you'd need to run the html content/file through the phpBB template engine.

To get the variables to work you'd need to assign them again using the phpBB template system.

The page creation tutorial here: http://www.awesomestyles.com/tutorials should help 🙂
