PHP in Templates / Complex Templates

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

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

{$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

You would need a dedicated plugin for that unfortunately.

I have an idea for that using Rate'U´s plugin xtlastest_videos_on_profile.php

I´m not sure but if you too think that, it will be possible

Hello,
Dear ZiNgA BuRgA,

i have idea to use some code with this great plugin, but i need your help.


so:
i want to create one custom field for users , custom field type most be check box.
for example : i want to have this words for chose:
----------------------------------------
phone
car
home
shop
bike
plane
---------------------------------------
so i want upload a photo for any of them and when users chose one OR have Multiple chose . the code get info and show that photos in post-bit like there users chose.

i think its possible with getting status of any chose in that custom field, from data base. but i need help and complete code ?

You're not making much sense.
If English is difficult for you, please try asking someone more familiar with it to translate for you.

http://upload7.ir/images/57042321471189846513.jpg

but on mybb we can't do that easily. if we want to show any user Choice we have to ad this code in post-bit template :  

Code:

<img src="images/platforms/{$post['fidX']}.png"/>

---

or

Code:

<if $post['fidx'] then> <img src="images/platforms/{$post['fidX']}.png"/> </if>

---

in this case that can just show one photo and one Choice , but i need to show Multiple Choice photos

[ZiNgA BuRgA]

I dunno, maybe this might work

PHP Code:

<?php foreach(explode("\n", $post['fidX']) as $val) echo '<img src="images/platforms/'.$val.'.png"/>'; ?>

Thanks for Reply
that work now.
----------------------------------------------------
if possible give some style:

if there is no any Choice form user >>> so style and images all get hide :
for example:

Code:

<fieldset class="postbit"> <img src="images/platforms/'.$val.'.png"/> </fieldset>

HTML is something for you to figure out.

I'm a bit confused. I don't fully understand the license.

The answer is most likely no, but am I allowed to use and include this plugin into a theme I'm designing and planning to release?

Just asking, to be certain.
