[How-To] Use Template Conditional in any Script

PHP Code:


<?php



// ######################## SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);



// ##################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'my_script'); 



// #################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################

// get special phrase groups

$phrasegroups = array();



// get special data templates from the datastore

$specialtemplates = array();



// pre-cache templates used by all actions

$globaltemplates = array();



// pre-cache templates used by specific actions

$actiontemplates = array();



// ########################## REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

require_once('./global.php');



//You must include this in order to parse HTML based conditionals 

require_once(DIR . '/includes/adminfunctions_template.php');

// ########################################################################

// ######################### START MAIN SCRIPT ############################

// ########################################################################



//First we need to query the table.

$sql = $db->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "my_table WHERE column = 'X' ");



//Now we need to convert the HTML based conditionals to PHP based 

eval('$done = "' . compile_template($sql['my_field']) . '" ;');



//Print the results to the screen

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('my template') . '");');



?>

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuseruserinfo, 12)">
To access the arcade click on "Links" to access the menu.<br />
Within the menu choose "Arcade".
<else />
<if condition="!is_member_of($bbuseruserinfo, 12)">
To access the arcade you need a minimum of 1000 posts. Currently you only have $bbuserinfo[posts]
