hello bb’ans,

if <?php login_form(); ?> calls the login form template, what calls the register form?

i’ve tried as a php hardcore ultra mega pro the <?php register_form(); ?> idea, but that’s somehow not the way how it should be

There isn’t exactly as counterpart to login_form() for registering because it’s not expected to be embedded I guess. If you look under register.php though, you can see the internal function template call is bb_load_template( 'register.php', $_globals ); where $_globals are set earlier in the page before some code that handles the form output (ignore them at your own peril).

The register.php template is also set up to be a full page though with calls to the header and footer functions, as well as a safety check for logged in users, so you’d probably need to cut it down and save it as a separate template to call.

I’m pretty sure there’s been some discussion of embedding a register page in a template before in the forums, so you might want to look for that too.

right login form is a function and the register form is a complete page.

there is also a login page. The function login form is used inside the header template

ah alright i see,

thank’s for the clear explanation kawauso, sounds plausible, thank’s olaf.

see you around

just a another one quick…

i’d like to create a sidebar.php , and i’d like to add <?php bb_get_sidebar(); ?> to a particular page (so not a global call to all pages).

my experiment was:

<script>

function bb_get_sidebar() {

bb_load_template( 'sidebar.php' );

}

</script>

in header.php (inside head).

2. <?php bb_get_sidebar(); ?> (inside body).

but no success, what am I doing wrong?

[@kawauso Member 15 years, 3 months ago]

For a start… <script> is for JavaScript code, not PHP You could avoid using a separate template for that one call anyway and use the function directly instead, or put it in functions.php. You might have to register template files though, but I’m not sure.

[@finalwebsites Participant 15 years, 3 months ago]

I think a sitewide form is easier to integrate using the full code inside the functions.php file (like comment list on wordpress)

i see i see! i have a lot to learn.

ok thank’s kawauso and olaf, it’s been a pleasure… as always
