Couldn't tell if this was skinning or modding, so I'm posting this here.
I'm tacking on a conditional ad section into the viewstory page. Or rather, I'm attempting to and failing miserably.
In viewstory.php, I've got
if ($stories['rid'] == 2) {
}
which does work because I can do a tpl -> assign and have the text show up if the rating is correct, but I can't seem to include a tpl file (I have to because the ads are javascript) properly.
Unfortunately, the TemplatePower manual is kinda...lacking and when I tried the alternate include method, all I get is a "TemplatePower Error: Template isn't prepared!" instead of the block I wanted.
Could I have the wrong path to the file (./$skindir/adblock.tpl)?
The contents of the adblock.tpl (currently) are:
<!-- START BLOCK : adblock -->
Work damn you
<!-- END BLOCK : adblock -->

I'm just guessing at this, so feel free to ignore it if I'm not making sense, but why do you need to add a new tpl file? Can't you just add to the existing viewstory.tpl?
In viewstory.php, add
if ($stories['rid'] == 2) {
$tpl->newBlock("adspace");
$tpl->gotoBlock("_ROOT");
}
before this:
if(!empty($storyinfo['storynotes'])) {
$tpl->gotoBlock("_ROOT");
$tpl->newBlock("storynotes");
$tpl->assign( "storynotes", stripslashes($storyinfo['storynotes']));
$tpl->gotoBlock("_ROOT");
}
and then in viewstory.tpl, add
<!-- START BLOCK : adspace-->
Whatever javascript you need
<!-- END BLOCK : adspace-->
I tried that, didn't work. I'll try your code though, mine probably wasn't written properly.
ETA: I think it's working. Or at least my pages haven't exploded spectacularly. Thank you for your help.
