Description: I originally had this bright idea to write up a detailed guide to putting php in your TPLs, but my schoolwork is keeping me from doing anything decent.

Please note that I have not had the chance to try this out, but according to the Template Power web site it is possible. The keyword throughout this entire post is “should” — meaning theoretically, it should work.

At any rate, there are two ways you can do this easily. The way you do it depends on how ambitious you’re feeling. This should work in 3.0 and 2.0 but again — don’t quote me on that.

As usual, please be sure to make backups in case I’m wrong. ^^;;

Requirements: eFiction 2.0 or greater, Template Power 3.01 (should already be included)

Difficulty: Easy

Modification History:
May 31, 2006: Released untested instructions for eFiction 2.0
March 21, 2006: Determined that these instructions should also apply to eFiction 3.0

Instructions:

Heh, yay for alliteration.

Owwie, I really don’t think I’ve done good on my finals. I really don’t. These classes have no been anyway in the same zipcode as fun.

One teacher really never gave me much in the way of feedback, so I never knew what I was doing right or wrong. I’m not even sure if she actually even looked at my homework. I turned in incomplete assignments and still got 100% on them.

Then, for my other class, I had to write a paper on a fictional business and create a whole model for improving it over the next 12 to 24 months. I may be a lot of things, but I’m not business minded. ^^;;

At any rate, this semester may be my off one. So long as I do good in my Spring classes, I think I’ll be okay.

The site is back up and everythings transferred over. I canceled my account with the other webhost and still haven’t gotten back to them about why. (Not all that interested, to tell you the truth.)

The forums… wow. What to say? It took Jasson and I two days to install the subcategories modification; it was that involved. Several thousand lines of code that had to be added to that damned script. I think that’s the hardest thing we’ve ever attempted, I really do. But it was sooo worth it. ^__^ It definately looks better than the default stuff phpBB comes with. I think I’m actually starting to get excited about forums again!

But…. after Arise/RL, I’m not all that interested in leaving things to the rules. I don’t want to scream at people all the time. I just want them to act like civilized human beings and not a gaggle of preschoolers I have to watch every second. In lieu of this, I’m to put security measures into the actual script so they can’t pull some of the bull-plucky they did there.
