[solved] PHP and variables - Newscoop Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

Nalyk Calmis · Post edited by Nalyk Calmis at 2014-03-06 05:31:36

I tried to use php variables in templates as described here: http://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/newscoop-42-cookbook/using-javascript-and-php-in-templates/

It does not work. The info is outdated?

I use latest Newscoop.

[Solution]

To use PHP in your templates for the latest Newscoop, add this line to your CampTemplate.php (<newscoop_dir>/template_engine/classes/CampTemplate.php):


$this->allow_php_tag = true;

Include the line in the public function __construct() like this:


   public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();

        $config = CampSite::GetConfigInstance();

        $this->debugging = $config->getSetting('smarty.debugging');
        $this->force_compile = $config->getSetting('smarty.force_compile');
        $this->compile_check = $config->getSetting('smarty.compile_check');
        $this->use_sub_dirs = $config->getSetting('smarty.use_subdirs');
       	$this->allow_php_tag = true;
        ...

This is a newscoop support forum right?

Ljuba, I did that. The frontend is working fine and I can use php in templates, but in this case the admin section (backend) is returning a blank page. Please help.

Please, anyone?

Hey,

CamTemplate looks ok, what you have in your apache error log when you hit backend (and you get white page)?

@Nalyk Calmis maybe it was caching. For future try to clear newscoop/cache/ directory after code changes.

Btw. using php in smarty is really bad idea.

I know, but i have to get different info for articles (social share count, bit.ly stats etc) and i do not want to depend on javascript.

Howdy, Stranger!
