gareth123456 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I need to pull a .php page that currently sits at root (ie in www.mysite.com/events.php) so that the content is sat in an info box. Currently I am achieving this by using an iframe (like a frame but using javascript) but this creates problems with the content changing to https when is should be http) but I want to changes this and add it using an include statement. I know that code like "include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'manufacturers.php');" is used in other parts of oscommerce to call pages from elsewhere to boxes, but how would I call a file that sites in my root using similar code? Do I simply use include('events.php'); or do I need to declare where is is along the lines of DIR_WS_BOXES ?? Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgt Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Do I simply use include('events.php'); Yes. Did you try it? The include path PHP should be looking at will be the current directory FIRST. Thus, if events.php is in the same directory as the file you are including it with, it will be found.

This is the code that I put in my infobox to try to call the file that is in my website root directory: $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '. include(calendar_content.php). '); When I upload the code my info box contains the text ". include(calendar_content.php)." Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth123456 Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 ok read through this thread ... we did a pretty similar thing a while ago but I didn't really remember ... TG a search for my user name, file+content+include+box got me this thread :thumbsup: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?sho...ox+file+content Thanks for the link. I tried something similar but got database connection errors - my calander_content file looks at the database you see. I trieds to define the file name in filenames.php - define('FILENAME_CALENDAR_CONTENT', 'calendar_content.php'); Then call FILENAME_CALENDAR_CONTENT instead of calander_content.php, but I still got an error - again relating to my database connection!

gareth123456 Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 I think that I have got this fixed. If i tried to use the 'include' statement, I got all sorts of database problems.. So I have stuck with the iframe and used an absolute path so my iframe code becomes: <iframe name="calendar" id="calendar" align="center" valign="top" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" src=http://www.mysite.com/calendar_content.php?_month=&_year= frameborder="0" height="200" width="100%" scrolling=no> Sorry, you browser does not support iframes.</iframe> Seems to stop the problems when i am in nonssl mode and if i do get problems under ssl, i'll code out the box so it wont show when users are logged in and making a purchase. For anyone else using the Events Manager contribution - if you have similar problems you may need to add absolute paths in events_calendar.php too eg. <a href="http://www.mysite.co.uk/' in order to stop it defaulting to https. Monkia - thanks for your input on this. Thanks Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
