Hi everyone,
I've been working on customizing the design of my phpBB forum and I'm currently facing a bit of a challenge. I have some PHP code embedded within my HTML template files, and I need to access the variables defined in the phpBB style templates from within these PHP codes.
I've tried a few different approaches, but none of them seem to be working. I'm not sure if I'm missing something or if there's a specific way to access these style template variables.
I would really appreciate it if someone could guide me on how to access phpBB style template variables from PHP codes within HTML template files. It would be great if you could provide me with some example code or point me in the right direction.
Thank you so much in advance for your help!
Best regards,

Hi there,
I understand the frustration of trying to access phpBB style template variables from PHP codes within HTML templates. Based on my personal experience, I discovered an alternative approach that worked for me.
Instead of directly accessing the style template variables, you can use the phpBB built-in function `{$this->get_template_vars('variableName')}` within your HTML template files. This function allows you to retrieve the value of a specific variable defined in the style template.
Here's an example of how you can use it:
Replace `'myVariable'` with the name of the variable you want to access. This function allows appropriate scope and prevents any conflicts with other variables or namespaces.
By using `{$this->get_template_vars('variableName')}`, you can directly access the variable value within your HTML template file, saving the hassle of modifying PHP code.
I hope you find this alternative method helpful in accessing phpBB style template variables within your HTML template files. Let me know if you have any further queries!
