$thename = "Default"; - FIXED

Guest

I replaced all of the refs to the Directory name of my theme with the variable $thename and then placed the statement $thename = "Default"; at the top of the theme file. I also put $thename as a global in all the functions that call it.

It doesn't work!!! When I view the source of the rendered page it's src=themes//images/logo.gif instead of src=themes/Default/images/logo.gif. Am I doing something wrong? the bgcolors are working... Do I need to declare $thename somewhere else?

Say the folder name is FOLDER.

$thename = "FOLDER"; is declared at the top of theme.php.

$thename is placed in all the calls to the folder like for images and whatnot. $thename is also a global for all of the functions that call it.

But, the end result is a blank space. The call is for whatever reason never completed. I dont get an error, I just get a broken image.

have you tried doing it like:

Code:

"bla bla bla" .$thename. "/directory off whatever"

You would need to pass that variable within the function calls itself.

I'll try that, but why wont it work the way it is? the bgcolor1 and 2 declares work just fine. I don't get it.

between each of the globals should be a , and at the end, there should be a ;

Here it is... thinned out of course... THe kicker is that everything works except for the references to $thename.

Code:

<?php

$thename = "FOLDERNAME";
$lnkcolor = "#035D8A";
$bgcolor1 = "#FFFFFF";
$bgcolor2 = "#FFFFFF";
$bgcolor3 = "#FFFFE6";
$bgcolor4 = "#FFFFFF";
$textcolor1 = "FFFFFF";
$textcolor2 = "000000";

$hr = 1; # 1 to have horizonal rule in comments instead of table bgcolor

function themeheader() {
global $thename, $cookie, $user, $slogan, $sitename, $prefix, $user_prefix, $db, $banners;

echo "<tr><td><a href=\"index.php\"><img src=themes/$thename/images/logo.gif Alt=\"$slogan\" border=0 align=left vspace=0 hspace=0></a>\n";

?>

the above code would render like this...

blah blah... src=themes//images/logo.gif .....blah blah

change the echo line to:

Code:

echo "<tr><td><a href=\"index.php\"><img src=\"themes/" .$thename. "/images/logo.gif\" Alt=\"$slogan\" border=0 align=left vspace=0 hspace=0></a>\n";

Renaming theme/$thename to theme/"$thename"/ resulted in the blank space like before...

I declared $themename in each function and it works great... But wwwwhhhyyyyy is it woprking this way?

I'm lost.. But at least my themes are a little easier to manipulate now..

maybe $thename is used elsewhere. Who knows

I already thought of that... On the chance that an error wasn't being returned I renamed $thename to $thename123 and got the same end result... I'll write my thesis on this if I can ever figure it out... Smile
