HTML portion

Chilly8

How to I change the HTML portiion of a PHP script? I want to modify
the HTML portion of phpBB, and the code in there to have StatCounter
record hits to that part of my web site. I already have the main web
site logged with StatCounter, but I would like to be able to modify
the HTML portion of PHP scripts for WikiMedia and phpBB, so
I can have those logged by phpBB as well

I can see the HTML portion when I ask for the source in my
browser, but I cannot find the place in any of the PHP scripts
to change the HTML portion of the code

You need to ask in the PhpBB support forums, not here. It's more
complicated than just changing text files.

I have figured out one way to do it, which works with ANY
PHP page. Just load it into your browser, select the option
for viewing the source, and then save that as an index.htm or
index.html page, then have the web crawlers crawl that
instead of the php file. I have so far gotten this to work with
my phpBB and Wiki pages, then just change the redirects
on my domain to take users to the HTML-translated
version of the page. Then you can put in things like
Statcounter, or banner ads into WikiMedia, PhpBB,
VBulletin, or anything else. Now, you will need to have
the original php version, so that users can login. If the
index.php file has been erased or renamed, a user will
not be able to log on, but if anyone else asks about this,
that is how you do it. Log off and delete all cookies. Go
back to the main page, open the source in your browser,
and then save the HTML-translated page, then submit
the HTML version of hte page to Google and Yahoo
so that users get directed to that, instead of the PHP
version of the page.

And pretty soon you'll figure out why that doesn't work.

As jerry says, this wont work. You need to route through the html
templates and find the correct one and alter that.

Its so far worked for me. Just have the original PHP version
of the page, so that users can log in, if logins are required.

I am having problems with people registering usernames,
putting **** links in their profiles, and the dissappearing
and never coming back. phpBB does not have logging
capabilities, and I need to know where these users are
coming from, so I can block them. Firewall logs only
say there was a hit to port 80, and do not say which
parts of my web site were accessed. By directing users
to the HTML translated-page, I can log it on StatCounter,
and find out where these people are coming from and
block them, just as soon as the Yahoo and Google
web crawlers update their links so that users start
coming through the HTML-translated page instead
of the php page.

PHP for Windows has no seperate HTML template, I looked. And
there are none in phpBB or WikiMedia

Not php's templates, theres no such thing. Your applications HTML
templates.

Look again. I have used phpBB myself

if I remember correctly the templates are in something like phpBB2-
>templates and the default is SuubSilver, so, if i wanted to add some
HTML to the index page i would edit phpBB2->templates->SubSilver-
>index_body.tpl or something

There is an index.htm there all right, but if you edit that file, phpBB will
just ignore the edits. For some reason, the changes I make to the index.htm
file in that directory are being ignored. I even tried rebooting the
computer,
to restart everything, no dice, so using to HTML-translated version of the
page appears to be the only thing that is going to work. I absoluitely
must find out where the *******s that are creating accounts and posting
**** links are coming from. I can edit the profiles to remove the ****
links,
and ban the users, but they keep coming back. All the firewall logs will
tell me is that there were hits to port 80, they won't tell me which part of
my site was accessed, while StatCounter can.

Keep it up. You'll find why it doesn't work. Then you can come back
here and look at the advice given you in this thread.

Which will do you little good. Most come through anonymous proxies or
compromised machines.

And get yourself a real log analyzer. It will give you all the
information without adding code to your pages.
