Use PHP commands inside skin templates

[Guest OvErDoSe]

Hello,

Stil working on my skin, now I also want to add flash title bars to the main content boxes. Same like the menu boxes...

I want to do this with includes or variable echo's, but when for example I add this:

<? php echo $titlebegin; ?>{HOME_TITLE}<? php echo $titleend; ?>

nothing happens. I declared the variables in the main index.php file, so things must work. I also tried to declare the variables in the template file (in this example "index.tpl") but that also didn't work.

I think it has something to do with the cubecart skin engine. Does someone have the sollution to use php commands inside the skin templates?

I read the topic you told me, but I still can't get it to work.

is it possible to assign a {VARIABLE} in global.inc.php and then use {VARIABLE} in all of the template files? because that is what I want...

You can, but you still need to use assign function to send it to the templates. The template won't use a global variable automatically.

To display the variable in all of the templates you'll need to do the following.

1) create

$my_var_name = "Goober :)";

 in global.inc.php

2) use 	

$templ_name->assign("VARIABLE",$my_var_name);

in all xxxx.inc.php that use templates.

3) update all templates to display {VARIABLE} where you want.

This will take you a while , good luck
