Thread: Anyone have a "primmer" for integrating things into Dolphin?

Can anyone tell me that basics of integrating any kind of new function (like a forum, flash game page, etc) into Dolphin?

Generally I'm used to something like:

Code:

header();
custom_stuff();
footer();
etc.

That's very simplistic, but you get the idea. Can anyone point me to a good primmer for this before I go digging into the code? It might save me some time.

Thanks!

Not that i think it would really save a lot of time, but this should work:

Code:

require_once( './inc/header.inc.php' );
require_once( BX_DIRECTORY_PATH_INC . 'design.inc.php' );

// --------------- page variables and login

$_page['name_index'] 	= 13;
$_page['css_name']		= 'faq.css';

if ( !( $logged['admin'] = member_auth( 1, false ) ) )
{
	if ( !( $logged['member'] = member_auth( 0, false ) ) )
	{
		if ( !( $logged['aff'] = member_auth( 2, false ) ) )
		{
			$logged['moderator'] = member_auth( 3, false );
		}
	}
}

$_page['header'] = ( "Page Title" );
$_page['header_text'] = ( "Header text" );

// --------------- page components

$_ni = $_page['name_index'];
$_page_cont[$_ni]['page_main_code'] = PageCompPageMainCode();

// --------------- [END] page components

PageCode();

// --------------- page components functions

/**
 * page code function
 */
function PageCompPageMainCode()
{
	global $oTemplConfig;

    $ret = ( "page content" );


    return DesignBoxContent(_t( "_FAQ_H1", $site['title'] ), $ret, $oTemplConfig -> PageCompThird_db_num );
}

Thanks. I'll try that.

I was looking at /inc/menu_content.inc.php. I assume that you can insert new items in the menu with the array build, then use that to call other pages, like the forum. Am I on the right track here?

I'm trying not to find a hack for something that can be done via the admin gui!

If i get the direction you're going in right - then yes its very easy to make new links to pages in the menu builder... might have misunderstood what you meant though lol
