Talk:Tutorial.Adding pages

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_user_avatar in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\phpbb3\new_page.php on line 45
I received this error when I directly copied your code: Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_user_avatar in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\phpbb3\new_page.php on line 45

I thought others might be interested, the fix was found on phpbb.com by adding this line: include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_display.' . $phpEx); AFTER this line: include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);

I really appreciate the tutorial. Thanks for your work! -B

Include Errors
A really stupid one. I have my forum code unzipped to a 'devbb' folder in the webserver's root directory. In this case I had to change the line $phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './forum/'; to $phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './devbb/'; As I said, a really simple one

It's really nice.. But as I was struggling to get it working on a custom page, i noticed that a why are there around the case name? I put it in with no and I noticed another thing and that in the case 'name':  name should be the name of the custom php file. It took me a few refreshes, a few curse words etc to finally got the bright idea...

Adding the following code to a page one directory above my forum results in a blank page

session_begin; $auth->acl($user->data);

$user->setup;

//your PHP and/or HTML code goes here

?>

Adding the above code to another page in a different folder in the same level as my forum results in a working page

I have been racking my brain trying to figure out why it would make any difference.
