Hi, This is (yet) another problem about the navbar.class but it involves a few other .php3 .class and .tpl files as well. Since I had to spend a few hours converting filenames and references from .php3 to .php (the server wouldn't allow .php3 to be parsed by the php4 engine and I am *not* root), I had a look at how to manage different extensions so phpslash would'nt be a hassle to install even if application/x-httpd-php is set to only .html or .php on the local apache configuration. I have no access to the server config (as usual) nor have I any control on the .htaccess. I found two good examples that deal with this extension issue : phpMyAdmin and Phorum . PhpMyAdmin is downloadable in two formats, .php3 and .php directly from their website, it helps a lot even if it does not cover the (very rare) situations where .html files only are parsed by the php engine. http://www.phpwizard.net/projects/phpMyAdmin/ Note : extension is still .php3 on their cvs repository The Phorum (phorum.org) has a variable in its config file that contains the extension of all the files to be used : $PHORUM_CFG["FILE_EXT"]="php"; This extension is reused for every inclusion or navigational reference. You still have to change manually the file extensions if the .php doesnt work on your server but there is no hacking to do afterwards, just one variable to change in the config file and it's ready to run. http://www.phorum.org/download.php Note : extensions are set to .php only hope this helps tbz |
