Accessing custom client area templates

[bushdoc]

Hi folks

 

I'm trying to create some custom templates within the client area but am having problems accessing them.

 

If I create a tpl file clientareatest.tpl, how can I access this through the clientarea.php file?

 

For example, the change security question tpl file is clientareachangesq.tpl and accessed through clientarea.php?action=changesq. Using this method with a custom template I just get a blank clientarea.php page.

 

TIA

Try: {include file='template/$template/clientareatest.tpl'}

 

 

* Have you created the php for the tpl? Then you can just access it from the php.

I am not sure that the templating is done the way you are thinking it is. From your testing, it seems that action=whatever does not translate into using template whatever.tpl. You can kinda be sly about it and do something like change clientareachangesq.tpl (or any other) and go like:

{if isset($smarty.request.somevar)}

<!-- as BAJI26 said -->

{include file='template/$template/clientareatest.tpl'}

{else}

... the regular template

{/if}

 

and then access it through clientarea.php?action=changesq&somevar=1
