A Suggestion From A Developer To a Developer

[HIddenPanda]

Take This:

PHP Code:

// **********************************************************************
// Begin Template Definition
// **********************************************************************

//Define our current theme
$file = $themeurl;

// Do the template changes and echo the ready template
$template = file_get_contents($file);

$template = replace(':ARTICLETITLE:',$article_title,$template);
$template = replace(':ARTICLECONTENT:',$article_content,$template);
$template = replace(':ARTICLEDATE:',$article_date,$template);

$template = replace(':BROWSERTITLE:',$browsertitle,$template);
$template = replace(':SITENAME:',$sitename,$template);

//Define our links

if($cancp == "yes"){

//Admins see a custom set of links here...

$links = getadmlinks();

}
else{

$links = getlinks();

}

$template = replace(':LINKSBAR:',$links,$template);

//Get the content for the side bar...

$sidebar = getsidebar();
$template = replace(':SIDEFEED:',$sidebar,$template);

//Get the ad content...
$template = replace(':ADS:',$ads,$template);

//Get the slogan info
$template = replace(':SLOGAN:',$slogan,$template);


echo $template;

// **********************************************************************
// End Template Definition
// ********************************************************************** 


And Put it into a file called inc\templatedefn.php

So that way instead of the above in EVERY SINGLE FILE... we just have:

PHP Code:

include('inc\tempdefn.php'); 


at the end of the file :D

This is mainly directed towards HoF and the other Dev Staff

This also makes it alot easier for people who want to add elements to their pages
