[IPS4] parse include?

[LaCollision]

Hi there,

With IPS 3.x, I was used to parse PHP files in templates, like that:

{parse include="../path/to/my/file.php"}

Is there a way to achieve the same with IPS4?

Thanks a lot,

[Andy Millne]

{{ include('...'); }}

​Hi,

Thanks, that's what I did, but as it is part of an IPS template, I get the famous error "Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by…"

Any idea?

Thanks again,

Perhaps if you explain what the end goal is it might be easier to advise. It's possible what you are trying to do is better suited to a theme hook

​Thanks a lot Andy for your help.

My needs are very basic: my Invision installation is part of a "regular" website. I just want to include in the globalTemplate some PHP files, that display parts of my website (for instance a "latest news" block somewhere in the template).

With the IPB 3.x {parse include="…"} instruction, I was able to do it very simply, without going too deep in the IP.Board configuration (creating a hook…).

Do you think it is possible with IPS 4 ?

Thanks again,

​I did something like that:

{{include('../path/file.php');}}
{$renderedPHP|raw}

With the file.php using a buffer system:

$renderedPHP = "";
ob_start();

include('the-file-i-want-to-include.php');
	
$renderedPHP = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

 

… but it's not very clean, is it?

I guess we could add a similar template plugin to do this in 4.x. I'll raise it for discussion as there may be a good reason it was not included.

​Thanks a lot, that would be amazing.

The syntax for this in the next release will be

{insert="yourfile"}

include caused a naming conflict

Thanks Andy, we've also been using the same to include some simple html files that are generated to the shared file system from another system to incorporate some articles. It's good it's a quick and easy thing to do
