PHP code in template

[giggler]

Is there a way to add PHP code inside the template? I've tried the following since this is using smarty and didn't work, All it did was print out the "code here", but did not execute the code:

{php}code here{/php}

Thanks!

Hi!

Try using "User defined tags". This is where i put all my php code and than call it in template with {whatever}.

Cheers!

to use {php}echo "hello world";{/php}  you have to enable_php_tags (or something like that) in config.php

Thanks Calguy, it was this code to true and worked in the template (but will not work in the content pages, which is fine):

Code: Select all

['use_smarty_php_tags']

I first tried the the user defined tags and got the following error:

Code: Select all

# Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /var/www/admin/edituserplugin.php(105) : eval()'d code on line 1

I believe in UDT you don't need the {php} calls...

[calguy1000]

A UDT is a function, therefore you don't need the { and } characters at the start and end

i.e:

Code: Select all

echo 'hello world'; 

is a perfectly valid UDT.
