Problem Creating New Pages

[Phonix]

I'm positive I've read the tutorial correctly on how to create pages, but everything just shows up white when I try to access COD4.php

 

Here's what I did:

 

I made a COD4.php file, saved it in my base whmcs directory and inside it I put this:

 

<?php

define("CLIENTAREA",true);

require("dbconnect.php");
require("includes/functions.php");
require("includes/clientareafunctions.php");

$pagetitle = $_LANG['clientareatitle'];
$pageicon = "images/support/clientarea.gif";
$breadcrumbnav = '<a href="index.php">'.$_LANG['globalsystemname'].'</a>';
$breadcrumbnav .= ' > <a href="COD4.php">COD4</a>'; 

initialiseClientArea($pagetitle,$pageicon,$breadcrumbnav);

if ($_SESSION['uid']) {
 # User is Logged In - put any code you like here
} 

# To assign variables in Smarty use the following syntax.
# This can then be used as {$variablename} in the template

$smartyvalues["COD4"] = $value; 

# Define the template filename to be used without the .tpl extension

$templatefile = "COD4"; 

outputClientArea($templatefile);

?>

 

Then I created another file named COD4.tpl, left it blank, and put it in my base template directory.

 

But like I said, its a blank page when I try to access it, excludiing my header and everything else.

 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated

#1 where did you set $value ? did you *read* the comment ?

 

#2 you say "Then I created another file named COD4.tpl, left it blank" so why would you expect the page o show anything other than a blank ?

Found the answer. And by blank I meant a blank white page with no header.tpl or anything.

 

Thanks

Phonix: Use $display_errors="on"; in your configuration file to see any errors that occur, you'll see the error instead of a blank page.
