[solved] Lost with snippet root directory

I have a piece of php code in a test.php file that is located in my root directory. It gets latest topics from a phpbb forum and it works fine. When I copy the code to a snippet and call it on my website, I get error:

« MODx Parse Error »
MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
« PHP Parse Error »

PHP error debug
Error: require_once(forum/common.php(770) : eval()’d code) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
Error type/ Nr.: Warning - 2
File: /home/content/t/e/s/test/html/manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php(770) : eval()’d code
Line: 5

I understand whats the problem (or I think I do), but I don’t understand how to point to forum directory in my snippet. Or is there something else wrong here? My forum is in root/forum/

The beginning of the snippet is here:

<?php
define(’IN_PHPBB’, true);
$phpbb_root_path = (defined(’PHPBB_ROOT_PATH’)) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : ’forum/’;
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, ’.’), 1);
require_once($phpbb_root_path . ’common.’ . $phpEx);
require_once($phpbb_root_path . ’includes/functions_display.’ . $phpEx);
require_once($phpbb_root_path . ’includes/functions_admin.’ . $phpEx);
require_once(’functions.’ . $phpEx);

That ../forum/ part is wrong, unless your MODx installation is not in the root. You could always do something like this

Thanks,

I replaced

$phpbb_root_path = ...

with this:

$phpbb_root_path = (defined(’PHPBB_ROOT_PATH’)) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : $modx->config[’base_path’]."forum/";

But it still says:

Error: require_once(/home/content/t/e/s/test/html/forum/common.php(770) : eval()’d code) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory

Thanks for help sottwell, I got it working, but the main problem is somewhere else, not in modx side of things, so I’ll start to look help from somewhere else. Thanks anyway
