I need some php wizard's help...

:o I just installed a "phpBB2" forum download for our site. Everything went smoothly with the installation, and there appear to be no database issues whatsoever.

The problem is, in our footer, we have links to various pages on our site, and this is where we want the link to our forums. But...

When I try to insert the code for the "tep href link" in footer.php, it does not work.

The bit of code is:

 

  <a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_FORUM_PHPBB2_INDEX, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_FORUM; ?></td>

 

The directory for this forum [file] is:

 

shop/forum/phpBB2/index.php

 

And the includes/languages/english.php reads:

 

define('HEADER_TITLE_FORUM', 'forums');<---no problems here

 

Is this not linking properly because of a missing application_top.php define?

I tried adding the file define as "define('FILENAME_FORUM_PHPBB2_INDEX', 'index.php');" to application_top.php without success.

Do I need to move everything into a different directory? I know that's not difficlut to do, but I just don't understand why the tep href link isn't "seeing" the link to this page, even though I can type it out in the address bar and everything is peachy.

 

WHAT am I missing or doing wrong?

Please help :).

If you are going to use osCommerce functions, you must include the application_top.php files.

I tried to do this, but it didn't work. Any other suggestions as to how I can get this to link properly?
