SMF PHP includes

Hi,

I have no problems with SMF includes, but I cannot get them to work with Modx.

I understand that I should use them within snippets, but I get errors.

Do I still include the php call at the head of the page:

<?php
require("/home/xxxxxx/public_html/community/SSI.php"); 
?>

I get errors that suggest that I should remove parts of the code, but I cannot get it to work.

Also, the actual calls within the body also cause errors:

<?php ssi_whosOnline(); ?>

In addition, which form of snippet do I use? I imagine it would not matter which for the "require" snippet, and the uncachable form for the actual calls?

Thanks.

Ok, to include SMF SSI you need to patch SMF. Jason can provide more details. Then create a snippet with just the include line and return the stuff you want to show. That’s it!

Thanks Mark.

Jason? I’ve just taken a look at the member list, and all the Jasons listed have no posts, so I assume it’s someone else.

I’ve perfomed some searches. I assume you mean Kunal Kapoor. I’ll send him a PM.

Thanks.

Sorry folks, took some time away from the computer this evening (for once). And I knew someone was going to ask about this and I was going to forget what I did. Darn it. Can someone paste the error that is triggered? That should trigger my memory, and I don’t have an SMF install laying around to play with at the moment.

The require part creates the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ’<’ in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php(696) : eval()’d code on line 1

When I add the call, the following error occurs:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ssi_whosonline() in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php(696) : eval()’d code on line 1

Let me know if you require anything else.

Thanks.

Sounds like some extra <?php tags in the file. Take a look at lines 1 and 2 of the snippet.

Hi Susan,

I had already tried removing the <?php (and the closing tag), not knowing the syntax when using a snippet for php includes. It made no difference. I’ll do it again now, and see what error was/is generated . . . .

. . . . much worse!

The snippet contained (before this edit) exactly what I stated in my first post. As I understand it, there is clash of some kind, and Opengeek has a solution.
