*.tpl files

Anyone aware of what they are or any sites on how to manage/edit these files.

 

They are phpbb template files

edit them as if they were HTML. You can control template variables in the php code for the forum. When it creates the template, it assigns variables, populates the tpl with the variables and dumps it into the stream.

 

Don't suppose there is some sort of include file option is there. I have an iframe set up now but I'd rather not do that.

 

wtf are you talking about ?

 

Code:

<?php include filename.php ?>

or

<?php require filename.php ?>

 

include ("filename.php");

or

include_once ("filename.php");

or

require ("filename.php");

or

require_once("filename.php");

don't include a .tpl file though if thats what your thinking

 

no I want to put that code inside the .tpl file

I tried last night with no success but I didn't know if it was because the .tpl file doesn't accept that code or if I had the syntex incorrect.

 

whoa... don't put actual php code in your template file... the template is just the look... put the code in the php file that creates the template.

 

The template file ends after the spot where I want to put the calendar so it looks like I'm stuck with the iframe to insert the calendar where I want it.

Thanks for the help.
