Inserting a body file [Archive]

Hello hello,

I downloaded the phpBB 2.0.4 and like it allot. What I want to do now is customize my site so that it all looks the same. I want the header and footer of every page to be called up, and then just add in different body files.

Here is the header and footer on 1 page by themselves.

http://www.charlatanz.com/a/faqz.php

Now the problem is how I add in the body files. At first I thought right just add in the html in the link above, but that doesn’t work.

What about a line like
include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/bodyfilehere.'.$phpEx);

Heres the code for the link above

<?php
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = './';
include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.'.$phpEx);

//
// Start session management
//
$userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, PAGE_FAQ);
init_userprefs($userdata);
//
// End session management
//

//
// Load the appropriate faq file
//
if( isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['mode']) )
{
switch( $HTTP_GET_VARS['mode'] )
{
case 'bbcode':
$lang_file = 'lang_bbcode';
$l_title = $lang['BBCode_guide'];
break;
default:
$lang_file = 'lang_faq';
$l_title = $lang['Flash Intro'];
break;
}
}
else
{
$lang_file = 'lang_faq';
$l_title = $lang['Flash Intro'];
}
include($phpbb_root_path . 'language/lang_' . $board_config['default_lang'] . '/' . $lang_file . '.' . $phpEx);

//
// Pull the array data from the lang pack

// Lets build a page ...
//
$page_title = $l_title;
include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/page_header.'.$phpEx);

include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/page_tail.'.$phpEx);

?>

Hey,

Not sure exactly what you want..

But if you want templates, that is, make all of the forum look the same... go to the forum administration, and then modify the template.

There should be some variables like,

<HTML>
<HEAD>
#TITLE#
#JAVASCRIPT#
</HEAD>
<BODY>
#MENU#
#FORUM#
</BODY>
</HTML>

Then put the variables in your design etc.

Post in the phpBB forum about this. I am sure its a piece of cake.
