Geeklog Forums

Does Geeklog only parse php in certain .thtml files, such as header.thtml? I'm trying to modify the submission form (submitstory.thtml), but I need to be able to run some PHP code, calculate some values, then output those values onto the form. But any attempt to embed via <?php...?> tags fails -- nothing at all happens.

So a related question: what's the right way to modify submitstory.thtml such that it can display my custom stuff? I'm trying to stay away from hacking the core...

Yes, PHP code is only allowed in header.thtml.

The proposed way to add your custom stuff is to define your own {variables} in function CUSTOM_templateSetVars() in lib-custom.php.

That only works for places which are calling PLG_templateSetVars. I see one such call in submit.php in 1.4.1. See if it helps as it is. Otherwise, feel free to submit a patch :wink:

Ah, seems that's in 1.4.1 only ... looks like it's time to go through the upgrade wars again
