How do I (embed my own php code)

[stephanb]

Code: Select all

<?
$today       = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d"),  date("Y"));
$filingdate  = mktime(0, 0, 0, 6, 15, 2004 );

$start= (int)date("z", $filingdate);
$now  = (int)date("z", $today);
$days = $now - $start;

echo "Day <b>$days</b>";
?>

I want to embed the above php code somewhere on the weblog page, but I cannot seem to find a nice way to accomplish this. It is basically a general question regarding embedded php code.
Any idea ?

Hi Stephan!

A proper place would be your templates/bla/layout.php file. Or depending on your embed method, if you use output-buffer redirection (as described in the docs) inside your $serendipity['indexFile'].

Hi

I have tried to follow these instructions, but cannot find my /templates/bla/layout.php file. The folder bla doesn't seem to exist and I have looked inside my template (blue) folder and layout.php doesn't seem to exist.

I have another bit of php code I would like to insert on the index page (a counter). Is this the right way of doing it??

copy layout.php from the "default" folder into your own template folder

Thanks, I've got the layout.php file now...

Where in that file should I put my php bit to set up my counter??

I would like the display for the counter to appear at the bottom if possible or if not then on the left hand side.

Thanks in advance

Robin
