Greetings, I am new to aMember. I built my site header file in php. I want to use the same header file within the aMember system but am stuck because of how php is called. Within aMember, to call php, we use {php}. There is no problem calling another php file but the called file does not properly parse the php files within the aMember system. I am wondering if I can create a function withing site.inc.php to call the php files I created that will properly parse my files. If not, I may have to create the header 2 times. For every header update, I have to update 2 locations...not something I want to do. Scenario: On the main web page, I run several include files to ease management of the site. File 1: check_login.php PHP: <?php session_start(); if ($au=$_SESSION['_amember_user']){ // user is logged-in $user = 1; } else { // user is not logged-in $user = 0; } ?> File 2: header.php (uses variable $user from file 1) This creates a nice little box on the top of the page that provides the login status and ability to subscribe or go to the member area if logged in. PHP: <?php include("check_login.php");?> <div id="top" style="width:800;height:80;" align="center"> <table height="80px" width="800" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="header-table"> <tr> <td width="400" id="logo-area"><a href="index.php"><img src="images/Logo.GIF" width="326" height="80" border="0"></a></td> <td width="400" align="right" id="dashboard-area"> <!-- ### Dashboard ### --> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="dashboard-off"> <tr class="heading"> <td class="user" colspan="2"> <?php if($user==1) { echo "<img src='images/_loginY.gif'> Welcome $au[name_f]"; }else{ echo "<img src='images/_loginN.gif'> Welcome Visitor!"; } ?> </td> </tr> <tr class="main"> <td align="left"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="middle"> <td height="30" align="center" valign="middle" nowrap="nowrap"> <?php if($user==1) { ?> <a onClick="javascript:location.href='logout.php';" style="cursor:pointer;"><img src='images/_padlock.gif' width="16" height="16"> Log Out</a> <?php }else{ ?> <a onClick="javascript:location.href='member.php';" style="cursor:pointer;"><img src='images/_key.gif' width="16" height="16"> Login</a> <?php } ?> </td> <td height="30" align="center" valign="middle" nowrap="nowrap"> <?php if($user==1) { ?> <a onClick="javascript:location.href='member.php';" style="cursor:pointer;">Go to Member Area</a> <?php }else{ ?> <a onClick="javascript:location.href=signup.php';" style="cursor:pointer;"><img srcimages/_createnew.gif" width="20" height="20" border="0"> Subscribe </a> <?php } ?> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Any ideas on how to get this file to parse properly in the aMember system or do I have to recreate for the aMember system? thanks! John
Resolved We opted to have 2 header files. One for the aMember system and the other for the main site.
