layout change

[Ginger2]

I need to put a table around the main reviewpost table area, the table that displays the catagories listing, and product showing, etc. I need to do this to customize the layout to include my own menus at the side which I have been unsuccessfull at including via the custompal templates (they contain php code, and I keep getting errors) and also for advertising. What I'm hoping to achieve is something like:

<table>
<tr>
<td>my stuff in here</td>
<td>reviewpost table here</td>

</tr>

</table>

I have disabled both of the top two menu bars for various reasons. I was thinking that I just need to find where to place my opening tags somewhere, and my ending </td></tr></table> tags can go in the printfooter() function in the pp-inc file. I just can't find in the code where the header ends and the first <table> tags is before the catagories.tmpl file. Does that make any sense?

You can place php code in the templates provided you do it right echoing and printing where needed here is a sample custompal example

Notice you have to ppprint; the html code to escape html and get back to php and then echo <<<PPPRINT to get printing the final closing html

yes, however the php is in a link, and I keep getting an error. I've tried:

<a href="PPPRINT; echo $profileurltext . $userdata['user_id']; echo<<<PPPRINT" class="menu">

I'm guessing that's not what you meant tho. I can't get that link to work.

funny, this is the output I'm getting:

http://www.mytripreport.com/reviews/PPPRINT;%20echo%20http://www.mytripreport.com/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2;echo<<<PPPRINT

out of this code:

<td height="10" align="left" bgcolor="#CADCA7"><a href="
PPPRINT;
echo $profileurltext;

echo<<<PPPRINT
" class="menu">&nbsp;&nbsp;My Profile </a></td>


Can you help me with fixing this at all?

EDIT: sorry, forgot to add:
$user = $User['userid'];
$profileurltext = "http://www.mytripreport.com/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=" . $user;

You were just trying to get way too technical with it.
