Can't Use PHP in Templates?

[esoteric]

Hello, I don't know if this is a 1.7.1 issue or just a regular issue (ie: my own issue cause I'm messing around :) ).

Anyways,

I wanted to use some PHP in my template (for example, I wanted to break out my navigation and footer into separate files so that when I make a change it's reflected across all of the pages).

So:

<?php include("navigation.php"); ?>
<?php include("footer.php"); ?>

When I refreshed, my navigation and footer vanished. So I checked the source in Firefox and there are the two php commands, unrun.

Is it not possible to put PHP into the template files, or am I just not knowledgeable enough to know what's really going on?

Thanks!!!

Pixelpost never allowed direct php in templates. Instead you must create addons to include PHP code.

You can find the documentation in the pixelpost package.

Oh shoot, that's unfortunate. At least there aren't a lot of pages to update.

Thanks for the quick reply.

PixelPost also has functionality to include the same header and footer on every page. This feature is also documented.

I will check out the docs more thoroughly, thanks.
