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

I downloaded your plugin recently and after I added some codes it shows up this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /*******/boards/inc/functions_post.php(714) : eval()'d code on line 8

and here is the code:

Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

<br />{$attachment['icon']}&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="attachment.php?aid={$attachment['aid']}" target="_blank">{$attachment['filename']}</a> ({$lang->postbit_attachment_size} {$attachment['filesize']} / {$lang->postbit_attachment_downloads} {$attachment['downloads']} <?php $affected_fids = explode(',', $mybb->settings['newpoints_atcost_forums']); if (in_array($fid, $affected_fids)){ $attach_id = $attachment['aid']; $attach_check = $db->query("SELECT * FROM mybb_newpoints_attachments WHERE AID='$attach_id'"); $rows = $db->num_rows($attach_check); if ($rows > 0){ $attach_cost = $db->fetch_field($attach_check, "cost"); $attachment_cost_points = "/ <font color='red'>Cost:</font> ".$attach_cost; } } ?> )

from template "postbit_attachments_attachment"

i don't know why but there maybe something wrong with my code? i try using that code in a separate php and it shows no errors.. I also try using the global variables like $mybb and $db still same error occurs on the same line.

What might be the error?? or a mis code function maybe?

I tried your exact code and I don't get that issue here. (you do need to global $db)

Can you try it on a clean/test forum? (you'll probably get a query error, but that's okay)

[jim7777]

i try using it in a test forum

and MyBB Shows me this error:

Error Type:
Catchable Fatal Error (4096)
Error Message:
Object of class MyBB could not be converted to string
Location:
File: inc/functions_post.php(714) : eval()'d code
Line: 4

EDIT:
I try using
$db->simple_select() and the errors are remove but it does not output anything T_T (or the value what I want to be printed)

I suspect you've miscopied the above code...

No, your code doesn't output anything.
You need to use echo before you see any output.

[jim7777]

i get this variable: $attachment_cost_points and nothing comes

anyways I managed to fix it by re-uploading it again

tnx!

[ZiNgA BuRgA]

A variable is a variable.  It's just a piece of data unless you tell the system you want this piece of data displayed.

You probably want to add this somewhere.

PHP Code:

echo $attachment_cost_points;
