CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi! I'm just getting CMS set up on a couple of sites. It's great and I'm loving it.

Couple of questions:

1. I have a chunk of PHP that I wrote that displays an 'on' state for top level navigation based on the REQUEST_URI. How can I easily embed this PHP in every page of my site? I wanted to install it as a module and then call the module in the default template, but I can't find any info on how to get CMS to "see" the PHP as a module once I place the php files in the /modules/ directory.

2. Is CMS written on top of PHPSmarty? If so, does this mean I can use Smarty tags in the templates, such as Smarty's {foreach} and {if} statements?

Thanks in advance!

I can answer #1 for you..... create an html blob, put your php code in there (be sure to put the around it).  Then put that html_blob into your template or into each page wherever you want it.

And I'll take #2.

Yes, it's built right on top of smarty.  So all of the normal stuff will work as expected (well, not totally true.  0.10.x does some hacks with the {content}, {stylesheet} and {html_blob} tags...  but otherwise it's all smarty)

I tried this with an include tag() but it doesn't actually execute it... There's basically a few files I need to have included, and normally I use an SSI include, but it doesn't seem to be working... any ideas?

Yeah, Pat's right.  PHP code doesn't work in an html blob.  Do the user defined tag as she said and it will work fine.
