Including KISGB in current structure

New Member Joined: Jul 25, 2003 Posts: 7

Morning... I'd like to include KISGB in the my current site structure and I was hoping to get some tips on the best way to do this. I've turned off KISGB's header and footer (I'll include credits elsewhere) and I see the notes about $root_document. KISGB is installed in /scrip/comments. I followed the FAQ- my $root_document is set to "/guestbook.php" and in guestbook.php I'm using

Code:

<?php include ("/home/vice/www/scrip/comments/index.php");?>

The error I'm getting is

Code:

Warning: OpenDir: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/www/vice/scrip/comments/index.php on line 160


Unable to access themes file

Any suggestions? Thanks

Do you really have a directory called 'scrip' or should it be 'script'? That error means that you have a pathing error in /home/vice/www/scrip/comments/index.php. And if that is correct, I think you should just be using 'include('index.php'). Here is another link for reference http://www.ravenwebhosting.com/public/downloads/embed_kisgb.doc

"scrip" is correct... the path is correct as well, I've verified that. The url to match is Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!. I believe both versions of that PHP syntax are correct as well- the "embedding kisgb" doc you linked to uses <?php include("filename.php");?> as well.

Thanks for your time... Any other ideas? Here's a link to Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!.

Did you try include('index.php'); ?

I got it... apparently the file you're using to include kisgb needs to be in the same directory as kisgb's index.php.

For anyone else who has the same problem:
for example, if

kisgb is installed in /scrip/comments

you're using <?php include("index.php");?> on guestbook.php

and you've specified guestbook.php in user.prefs.php as your $root_document
then you need to ensure that guestbook.php resides in /scrip/comments as well.

That actually is spelled out in the documentation Wink

I just assumed that was the case. Sorry.

I noticed that the example was done in that fashion... I assumed I could use alternate paths- my fault.

Thanks again
