base template includes

[ho66es]

hi

i wonder if it would be possible to have at the end of navbar section of html on all template pages something like

Code: Select all

<? include("navbar.php") ?>

also in the head something similar as in

Code: Select all

<? include("add_head.php") ?>

that way if i wished to add a couple of menu items or some javascript in headers of all templates it could easily be done/changed

I don't really want to have PHP in the standard templates, I want them to be able to work everywhere whatever the server capability. But you could just edit yours to do whatever you want? That's the way I see the web stuff working - the supplied templates are the ones I use on my web site. You can use them "as is", or modify them, or create your own from scratch using HTML, PHP or whatever.

gotcha, that makes sense now I think about it

Realistically, if you are going to dabble with PHP, you will normally go towards a parsed system where you obtain all the data from tags, realtime uploads and forgo the default templates that come with Cumulus.

I agree with Steve in keeping the default templates as default usable as possible as there are many that simply are not ready for the leap to web design when they first start out.

Webtags, when uploaded can provide basically all the info the default templates provide with the exception of the graphs and you can still get those if you want.

These are very easy to implement and use.

My own version which stores the data differently and has self-display options to see what is in it.

I have already converted the base templates to php and started to modify them already, also added a sky cam in although I think it would be better with slightly more wideangle view and at rear of house, that's gonna take a wireless ip camera though

I forgot how much fun php could be
