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

Hi All,

I'm new to using this plugin.  When I use this plugin on the latest version of MyBB, I get this error when trying to use a custom global template I've created:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'ob_start' (T_STRING) in /{PATH_REMOVED}/global.php(872) : eval()'d code on line 9

In the header template for one of my themes, I have the following:

Code:

<template random_logo>

---

I created a global template called random_logo with the following contents:

Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6

<?php $randomInt=rand(1,3); $imgToUse="images/logo_" . $randomInt . ".png"; // echo $imgToUse; ?> <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/index.php"><img src="{$imgToUse}>" alt="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" title="{$mybb->settings['bbname']}" /></a>

What am I doing wrong?

<?php
?>

[.mouni]

Hätte mir jemand eine Lösung, wie ich in den Hilfedateien von MyBB V1.8.22 auch PHP wie z.B.:

PHP Code:

<?php include ("dateiname.php"); ?>

---

einbinden kann?

English.
If someone would have given me a solution, as I did in the help files of MyBB V1.8.22 also PHP like :

PHP Code:

<?php include ("filename.php"); ?>

As long as your syntax is correct, it should works.

[Gerti]

The syntax works correctly in the templates. Not in the help pages (misc). But in the help pages isn't work. What can/must i do?

[RateU]

I've tried it in misc_help template, it works.
