Ok, so I'm trying to include Vanilla's settings and people php files..
Hi, I’ve been having some problems and need a little help…
in order to track users that are logged in “Outside” the vanilla forum you:
Include these to files
include(“./appg/settings.php”);
include(“./appg/init_people.php”);
I always include them in a regular page above <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>
Then you have this little bit of php that is used to tell whether a user is logged into vanilla or not…
I have this code in textpattern, but no luck, and yes i’m using <txp:php> tags.. :P
<?php
if ($Context->Session->UserID)
{
echo “Signed in as <b>{$Context->Session->User->Name}</b>.”;
}
else
{
echo “Welcome, Guest.”;
}
?>
Well, I can hack into publish.php and include them there, but it doesn’t seem to be picking up that a user is logged in… Why is this, it works for a page that i handcode, but not in textpattern…
Am I doing something wrong?

If you’re using txp:php, you shouldn’t be using the opening and closing <?php tags.

Re: Ok, so I'm trying to include Vanilla's settings and people php files..
well you said you are using txp:php tags and in your code you do have <?php ?> tags as well. so which is it?

To make sure, it should be:
<txp:php>
include("./appg/settings.php");
include("./appg/init_people.php");
if ($Context->Session->UserID) echo "Signed in as <strong>{$Context->Session->User->Name}</strong>.";
else echo "Welcome, Guest.";
</txp:php>Also check that the include paths are correct.

maybe it’s unrelated. I had a problem integrating something similar before: thread on lussumo.com

Re: Ok, so I'm trying to include Vanilla's settings and people php files..
Sorry for not clarifying better, I only use <txp:php> tags
<txp:php>
include(“./appg/settings.php”);
include(“./appg/init_people.php”);
if ($Context->Session->UserID) echo “Signed in as <strong>{$Context->Session->User->Name}</strong>.”;
else echo “Welcome, Guest.”;
</txp:php>
would be right, but the
include(“./appg/settings.php”);
include(“./appg/init_people.php”);
Files have to be executed first…
I’m certain the include paths are correct… When i use firebug, and look at the http headers, It’s changed to powered by vanilla…
Where to go from there who knows, it doesn’t make sense anymore…

It’s seems like i’m having a problem like you.. what did you do to solve this?
The files are getting included, but maybe they’re not executing? ….

Unfortunately, I haven’t solved it. I’d still like to know why it works standalone but not included in another framework…

Me too.. Like I said before, if I include it into a page that i build and upload to the server, works perfectly… But not in Textpattern… which has me so confused, I dunno where to begin…

What happens in those two include files and where in the page are you trying to include them?
