adding 3rd party php coding to a template ?data feed?
Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2005 6:41 pm
Okay heres the deal. Im building a sports handicapper website. The cms is configured and templates built, etc.
Our data (lines, game matchups, etc) comes from a 3rd party data feed. I assumed I could add the code to a template and it would run. Unfortunately, that was an incorrect assumption.
The code is below:
";
echo "$data";
} else {
echo "System Configuration error.";
}
?>
Seems simple enough, but it wouldnt run from within the template, so i created a function in cmsms and called it {feed} This appropriately shows the data when the page is loaded. You can see a version of this here: http://www.thewinningadvantage.com/cms/ ... ernt_Lines
My problem is that the code refers to an external file (sportsdata.php) so even though the above link looks correct, nothing works once you click on a link. The navigation goes outside of the CMS and references this sportsdata.php page, which i have built with the same template. But since this page is not part of the CMS, none of the call tags work such as {cmsmodule module='PHPLayers'} or {footer}, etc.
Any ideas. This shouldnt be this hard, but I think Im making it hard on my self.
I basically just need the cms to recognize that code and use it for the content on certain pages. ANY help would be appreciated.
Thanks
