PHP in Templates / Complex Templates

ZiNgA BuRgA · (This post was last modified: 06-26-2023 10:42 PM by ZiNgA BuRgA.)

This is a relatively small plugin, but seems that a number of people wanted such a thing, so... here it is.

This plugin will allow you to use:

PHP in templates, using <?php ... ?> tags
Shortcut template conditionals, using <if ... then>...<elseif ... then>...<else>...</if>
Some shortcut string functions (see below), eg <func htmlspecialchars>...</func>
Call another template, using <template ...>, eg <template header>

For those that do not wish to allow arbitrary PHP code execution that this plugin offers, take a look at the Template Conditionals plugin.

Here's an example of some of the functions that this can be used for - for example, you may use this code in your postbit:

HTML Code

{$post['user_details']}

<if $post['fid5'] then>
Your game tag is <func htmlspecialchars_uni>{$post['fid5']}</func>
<elseif $post['fid6'] and $mybb->user['cancp'] then>
This user's lucky number is <func intval>{$post['fid6']}</func>
<else />Some other profile field: {$post['fid7']}</if>

<?php echo "Hi from PHP"; ?>

Some notes:

PHP tags must be closed with ?>
PHP runs slower than conditionals, so unless you need to use PHP, I recommend the conditionals
PHP inside the <?php ... ?> tags must be well formed, ie the following will not work:
PHP Code:
<?php if(true) { ?> some stuff <?php } ?>
I'm thinking about whether to add support for the above, but there are performance reasons for me choosing not to.
The template insertion function is really basic - it performs no caching, so you should not call a lot of templates this way (there really isn't any nice way to get around this) however should be fine for small things. Also, as it is basic, ensure that you don't stuff it up with recursive calls, that is, it's possible to try to get a template to call itself, but that will obviously cause MyBB to stuff up
As of v1.5, I've included the ability to perform additional cache checks, and enabled this option by default. If you wish to disable this feature, it can be done by modifying a define in the .php file, but this is not necessary for most people (see post below this one for more info).
As of v2.1, PHP 5.3 or later is required

The functions available, with the shortcut, are:
htmlspecialchars, htmlspecialchars_uni, intval, file_get_contents, floatval, urlencode, rawurlencode, addslashes, stripslashes, trim, crc32, ltrim, rtrim, chop, md5, nl2br, strrev, strtoupper, strtolower, my_strtoupper, my_strtolower, alt_trow, get_friendly_size, filesize, strlen, my_strlen, my_wordwrap, random_str, unicode_chr, bin2hex, str_rot13, str_shuffle, strip_tags, ucfirst, ucwords, basename, dirname, unhtmlentities

same problem.

Code:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/*****/public_html/forums/global.php(523) : eval()'d code(1) : eval()'d code on line 1

ask :
What template are you referring to? GoMobile or default template that is used?

In GoMobile template -> htmldoctype
Delete this code:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I am trying to use PHP to call something from the database, find a SteamID, search this in another table and put it out.
This is my current code, template: (prefix)_postbit_first:

For some reason the PHP doesn't work.
I get these errors:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/casualbananas.com/public_html/inc/functions_post.php(645) : eval()'d code(102) : eval()'d code on line 34

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/casualbananas.com/public_html/inc/functions_post.php(645) : eval()'d code(153) : eval()'d code on line 34

What am I doing wrong?

This is what SHOULD happen, one or multiple records (Previous bans field)

EDIT:

This problem has been solved. I accidently closed PHP after a {, because I wanted to include something that I didn't edit yet, so I wanted to place raw HTML there. Anyways, it works now!

Hey, it's me again Smile

I was wondering if you could help me out with two snippets of code as I have absolutely no idea where to start!

Basically in the postbit and the member profile page I'm looking to establish an if conditional which will look something like this:

<if the poster/member is in X usergroup>
Content specific to that usergroup here (this is not important, I can code this)
< if poster/member is in Y usergroup>
Content specific to that usergroup here (this is not important, I can code this)
</if>

So essentially I'm looking to establish conditionals in both the postbit and the member profile page that allows different content to be shown depending on whether the poster or the member's page we're visiting is in a certain usergroup.

***RateU*** · 06-04-2012 04:06 AM

You can use $post['usergroup'] for postbit and $memprofile['usergroup'] for profile page.

Earl Grey · 06-04-2012 04:47 AM

Sorry, please excuse my ineptitude. Could you possibly help me formulate the code?

<if $mybb->$memprofile['usergroup'] == 'Administrators' then>
Content here
</if>

Have i got that way off?

***RateU*** · 06-04-2012 04:59 AM

Something like this (for profile page):

Code:

<if $memprofile['usergroup'] == X then>
Content for user in usergroup 4 here
</if>

where X is a usergroup ID.

Earl Grey · 06-04-2012 09:24 AM

Worked perfectly, thank you Smile

Just a second question, I'm using the edit built on this mod which allows certain profile fields to be hidden to certain usergroups, below is the code:

PHP Code:

<?php

$groups = array('4', '6'); // array of group ID's allowed to view this field
if ($profilefield['fid'] == FIELD_ID) // replace FIELD_ID with the fid of the field you want to hide
{
    if (in_array($mybb->user['usergroup'], $groups))
    {
        echo "
<tr>
<td><span class=\"smalltext\">
<a title=\"{$profilefield['description']}\" style=\"text-decoration: none;\">{$profilefield['name']}</a>:</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{$code}</td>
</tr>
    ";
    }
}
else {
    echo "
<tr>
<td><span class=\"smalltext\">
<a title=\"{$profilefield['description']}\" style=\"text-decoration: none;\">{$profilefield['name']}</a>:</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>{$code}</td>
</tr> ";
}
?>

Now I have quite a lot of fields I'd like to use this on, however I'd have to repeat/else every single field. I was wondering if there was a way I could array the "if ($profilefield['fid'] == FIELD_ID)" (ie ['fid'] == 1, 2, 3, 4) to save myself a lot of hassle?

***ZiNgA BuRgA*** · 06-04-2012 10:28 AM

Just look at the line with in_array

PHP Code:

if (in_array($profilefield['fid'], array(1,2,3,5,8))
