How to execute code inside templates?

Francisco Felix	Friday 25 July 2003 1:45:12 pm As I need this for change the design inserting external funcionality I posted this message first in the design forum, but I think this is a more suitable place. Sorry, it wont happen again. I need to executePHP code directly inside templates in order to include external funcionality, for example our poll system or our banner ad server. I made tests and the PHP code come out as is when I included it in the template. It seems that expanding PHP with specific functions and then writing our own template operator ( http://www.ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/development/kernel/custom_template_operators ) would do it, but this method has big disadvantages. I think tweaking the template rendering system would be sufficient to allow execution of PHP inside them and thus solving the problem, but right now I dont have the knowledge about the EZPublish system to do this and cant find that knowledge in the documentation either. I have tried to understand the code from reading it (as EZPublish team suggests) but I have not that kind of talent. Any help or tougths will be appreciated.

Alex Jones	Friday 25 July 2003 2:13:05 pm Glad to hear it! I am still coming up to speed as the learning curve can be steep. But so far it hs proven quite worthwhile. The more of us helping each other, the better of we will all be. Alex Alex [ bald_technologist on the IRC channel (irc.freenode.net): #eZpublish ] <i>When in doubt, clear the cache.</i>
