Include PHP-Code

[vFranky]

Hello,

I want to include some php-code in photopost for a statistical application. I rename the headtags.htm to headtags.php, configure the filename in photopost and put the php-code in the file headtags.php.

But the php-code is not executed. Could I use a php-file as headtags-file? When not: Where can I put some php-code otherwise?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Frank

head tags file is an actual file you use to input meta link tags stuff like that that gets inserted into the head portion of an html page.

If your trying to do some code why not use a custom pal box to show it on the sidebar. you know it all depends on what your trying to do and show where.

Yes, but I not have anything to "show". It's only invisble statistics code. I for design purposes, I have deactivated the pals. What's about the header or footer file? Can this be an .php-file?

well your header or footer can be php files sure you just need to escape any html correctly

Okay, I tested the footer als .php, but my php code snippet says "I am not able to read my configuration data. This is likely because you embedded the code snippet into a function".

It seems, the php-code is executed, but cannot be executed this way. Is there another way to include a php code snippet?

You might need to contact the people making your code snippet.

You can include php code in a php file no problem but any problems you have with that code would have to be directed to the makers of that code snippet. I have no idea what your doing or what code your using so not like I can really comment here.

No, this is freeware. I think they do not know PhotoPost.

Question: Can I put the four lines of my statistic code at the beginnung of PhotoPost's index.php in the root directory? Or is this an "illegal modification"?

Because this might be a perfect place. But I have to insert this code-snippet after each PhotoPost update.

Frank

Frank if this is merely a php code snippet what is it doing. I really cant give you any advise without knowing what your trying to achieve.

If it is merely php code that say prints something in the footer then you use a php footer and place it at the end of the footer.

It is a code snippet that collects statistical informations (like Google Analytics) and writes this informations to a file in a separate directory. That's all. Would be no technical problem on top of PhotoPost index.php.

Is it a licencse probleme? The code snippet modifies no functions of PhotoPost. It's already finished after the first line of code in PhotoPosts index.php is executed.

well place it in the index.php file above the closing ?> if you want to try or if you want it on every page bottom of pp-inc.php

Thank you, okay I am now in the pp-inc.php.
Is there any variable where I can extract the "<title>" of each page?

[Chuck S]

The title of every page is defined in the printheader function in pp-inc.php

Good idea. But how to use this very complex function?

Info: The statistic code is now at the end of pp-inc.php. I want to write the <title> of every visited page to this statistic application.

When pp-inc.php is executed every time a PhotoPost page is displayed, I need the <title> of each page. How to use the printheader function in this context?

well it would get very complex there to do that. the titlereplace is defined by each script so no easy way you could do that for all pages unless you rewrite things.

No way to get the actual page name, category or picture the easy way?

[Chuck S]

globally all these variables are different per page. we feed stuff to our code through the use of functions.

Okay, thank you.

Does PhotoPost have some integrated statistics? Most visited categories, for example?

[Chuck S]

Our statistics are basic number of users number of photos comments views etc stuff basic to the gallery.
