Textpattern Forms outside of Textpattern
Hi,
Is it possible to use a Textpattern form outside of Textpattern? So say for instance I had a forum, and I wanted it to use the same header, could I get it use the header from my Textpattern website?
Thanks. x

Yep.
To include TXP tags in external pages add this before anything in your page (before doctype)
<?php define("txpinterface", "public");
include './textpattern/config.php';
include $txpcfg['txpath'].'/publish.php';
ob_start();?>
Then all the way at the botttom after </html> add:
<?php $output = ob_get_clean();
echo parse($output);?>
Now you can use TXP tags on that page.

Okies cool, problem I have is that I’m wanting to do this on PunBB, yet the template files are .tpl and not .php
Do you by any chance know where abouts to add the php code you have listed to allow me to use txp tags in my forum design. Thanks. x

Dale, That’s an old trick that Dean and Reid (I think) helped me with YEARS ago!
It’ll let you do some really cool stuff. : )

P.S. I pretty much use that method exclusively for my index.php.
That way I can code everything in Textmate and remain happy and calm.

I’m getting this error: http://www.simplecandy.com/forum/
txp-one.php is the first line of code and txp-two.php is the second line of code, and they are positioned at the top and bottom of the template file. But I’m getting that error? :S

Re: Textpattern Forms outside of Textpattern
You need to adjust the paths in my example above.
The easiest way is to use the full system path to your TXP install (ask your hosting provider if you don’t know it).
It’ll be something like:
home/www/public_html/textpattern/config.php

Re: Textpattern Forms outside of Textpattern
is your path to the textpattern files correct? Contents of txp-one.php may help troubleshoot the issue.
