I know I'm stupid. But.....

On the "Hosting page" BW have been kind enough to supply some lines of code that, in theory, will put BW tables onto your web pages.

It appears that all you need to do is replace a small portion of the code with ID numbers of your Clan or Player.

When I put this into my page all that appears is the line of code.

Why? Am I missing something?

Hope someone can help cause it's driving me crazy.

The most likely cause of the problem is that the file your putting the code into is not a PHP file (i.e. it does not end in .php, but, perhaps, .html etc). Thus, check the file does end with the .php extention (if not you can simply change it, your HTML code shouldn't be adversely affected).

If your file was already in PHP, then please post a little more info, such as the URL of the file in question, and perhaps the source code around the area you are trying to insert the table.

Kind Regards

P.S. No questions here are stupid

Thanks for that

So lets see if I understand you.

If the file is called "Members.html" I change the name to "Members.php", and this will make the BW links work?

Hi Simon

That's exactly right. By changing the file extention it lets the BarrysWorld servers know that you want to use PHP code. When you try to access the page with the new file extention, it will be handled differently than when you try to access it with the normal, .html, extention. So just try changing it and be sure to let us all know how you get on.

Kind Regards

Hi,

I tried it

I added the link and changed "ID" to the Team number.

Called the file members.php and switched on SmaftFTP.

It then stuck .htm on the end of the file so the file became Members.php.htm and when I opened it I got error 404

Should I force the rename on the server itself?

Hi

Yes, you have to ensure that the file ends with '.php'. Either do this by selecting the file in either Windows Explorer or SmartFTP and clicking 'Rename'. Then remove the '.htm' suffix leaving you with 'members.php' (not that file names are care sensitive, so it's perhaps best to put it all in lowercase).

If you have any more problems, just shout.

Kind Regard

Hi again

Panic over - managed to find someone with an old copy of the site so we have stuck that in temporarily

It seems that when I downloaded the site "Frontpage" broke all the links so the whole format of the site fell apart

No idea where the BW front page came from tho :s

Thanks for your help

 

[Jonty]

Glad everything is okay. And one last thing, Frontpage should be used with extreme caution

 

[TheJkWhoSaysNi]

yes, fontpage is not worth it, The time you think you save creating the pages is then wasted cleaning up the code.
