Can someone show me how to call the files from the default theme folder before overwriting them with the theme files in question - Or point me to where Icy Phoenix does it?

Thanks...

Hey,

I'm not sure what you mean. IP should by default look in the default/ folder if it can't find it in your custom template folder.

Yeah! Well my senility is taking over and I assumed that MG would have made it more complicated than it needs to be....

So! without being code "specific" something like this should suffice?

Code: [Hide] [Select]

$dir = 'templates/';

$something = 'default';

if(exist($dir/$something)) {$template = '$something && $template';}

if(!exists($dir/$something)){echo 'Youv\'e deleted the Default theme STUPID';}

The code used for Icy Phoenix is much more complex, because template system uses cache.

Anyway you can do something like this (taken from my plugins code) to assign a path:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

	/*

	* Get template file: check if template file exists and set the correct path to template file

	*/

	function get_tpl_file($tpl_base_path, $tpl_file)

	{

		global $theme;

		$tpl_path = $tpl_base_path . 'default/' . $tpl_file;

		$tpl_temp_file = $tpl_base_path . $theme['template_name'] . '/' . $tpl_file;

		if (@file_exists($tpl_temp_file))

		{

			$tpl_path = $tpl_temp_file;

		}

		return $tpl_path;

	}

Thanks Luca,

So does this games thing..

Now I'm about to start bumbling and bungling my way through this.

I doubt my ability to get it to work - But at least it'll keep me out of the pubs for a while...
