Sorry, but I have just tried on my setup and it is working as expected.

Are you sure you have added the page to "Standard Pages" in CMS?

You need to add the page with the correct filename and then add the blocks from CMS.

Okay I am going through the steps here as I did them and see if I missed anything.

1. created guildrules.php and pasted inside the first code snippet from method 2. modified the name of the .tpl
2. created guildrules.tpl and pasted inside the code snippet from method 2.
3. saved both
4. uploaded via ftp as follows
(root)/guildrules.php
(root)/templates/default/guildrules.tpl
5. checked the page and it generated without error
6. went into cms added the page with this info and submitted.
Name: Guild Rules
Page ID: guildrules
Breadcrumbs: yes
View Permission: ALL
7. then added on block left (Nav Links) on right block did (User Block and Recent)
8. go to page to see if anything changed.

Blocks do not appear.

Checked logs internally and no error.
Checked logs for the server and no error.
Checked permissions of both files versus other files in their respective directories and they match.

Everything else works just fine.

i think i found the reason why doesnt work I think
after few hours of searching my page finaly showed up

where is the problem ... now this is the best part :LOL:

MG did a little mistake in his first post for option 2
this is correct
Code: (mypage.php) [Download] [Hide] [Select]
<?php
/**
*
* @package Icy Phoenix
* @version $Id$
* @copyright (c) 2008 Icy Phoenix
* @license http://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-license.php GNU Public License
*
*/

define('IN_ICYPHOENIX', true);
if (!defined('IP_ROOT_PATH')) define('IP_ROOT_PATH', './');
if (!defined('PHP_EXT')) define('PHP_EXT', substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1));
include(IP_ROOT_PATH . 'common.' . PHP_EXT);

// Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup();
// End session management

$mycontent = '<b>My Fantastic Page</b>';

$template->assign_vars(array(
'MYCONTENT' => $mycontent
)
);

full_page_generation('mycontent_body.tpl', $lang['MYCONTENT'], '', '');

?>


do you see the difference ?
a little space on first line <?php

can you confirm this Silverman ?

Checked the file, and even re-copied the file and uploaded, no change. I am going to reupload IP and see if that fixes it.

[UPDATE 1]IP is uploaded again, and no change.

Something else that is funny and this may help find the overall issue.
My navigation will not show a link to the file either.

[UPDATE 2]Correction, the default site map doesn't add the link but a custom menu block will.

Ok, I found the error.

I missed in the first version to add the PAGE_ID which is needed to display blocks and allows to use the AUTH system.

If you check again the first post, now the guide should work.

For your records, you need to add this to page top after inclusion of COMMON.PHP:

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
$cms_page['page_id'] = 'guildrules';


After this small edit everything should work without further edits.

Here is the altered code of the file you posted:
Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
<?php
/**
*
* @package Icy Phoenix
* @version $Id$
* @copyright (c) 2008 Icy Phoenix
* @license http://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-license.php GNU Public License
*
*/

define('IN_ICYPHOENIX', true);
if (!defined('IP_ROOT_PATH')) define('IP_ROOT_PATH', './');
if (!defined('PHP_EXT')) define('PHP_EXT', substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1));
include(IP_ROOT_PATH . 'common.' . PHP_EXT);

$cms_page['page_id'] = 'guildrules';

// Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup();
// End session management

$mycontent = '<b>My Fantastic Page</b>';

$template->assign_vars(array(
'MYCONTENT' => $mycontent
)
);

full_page_generation('guildrules.tpl', $lang['MYCONTENT'], '', '');

?>

HI All

I recently started playing with IP2.0, i have made a standard page but i would like to know how i address a database outwith IP ( on same server but a seperate database ). Also since upgrading to PHP5.5 and appache 2.4.6, the following line is no longer effective.

include(IP_ROOT_PATH . 'alerts/alertsconfig.'.PHP_EXT);

was fine on PHP5.3 and appache 2.2

Appreciate any guidance as these two problems are giving me a major headache

To call another database you would need another config file (myconfig.php) with the connect strings, and then you would need to include other strings(script) that calls and parses the connection data - and how it is to be handled - to what you are writing/doing that you want to keep separate.

Maybe something like this.

myconfig.php

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
$dbhost = 'localhost'; // Database host - usually localhost
$dbuser = ''; // Database User Name
$dbpass = ''; // Database Password
$dbname = ''; // Database Name
$dbpre = 0;



Your Page:

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]
include "myconfig.php";
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$server = $dbhost;
$dbuser = $dbuser;
$dbpass = $dbpass;
$dbname = $dbname;

$x = mysql_connect($server,$dbuser,$dbpass) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($dbname,$x);


No doubt you will also have to address or re-define some CONSTANTS and variables - and then the whole thing will get messier.

There may be an easier way - - - - - - Dunno!

What do you mean by "address a database"? Do you need to run SQL on another DB?

What do you mean by "no longer effective"... that is just an inclusion... and it should work even on PHP 5.5! :shock:
