Executing custom PHP script at bottom of every page

I'm using XOOPS 2.0.13.2 with various modules, and i need to be able to place some content at the bottom of every single page on my site, just above the "Powered by Xoops" bar.

I have tried doing this with a block, and with things like the forum, is doesn't appear at the bottom of the page. Also, a block is a bit too heavy-weight for what i need. I need somethingg that is basically a couple of lines of text.

The other tricky part is that this text needs to be generated on-the-fly by a PHP script, so somehow, i need to embed a custom PHP script into my site, just above the "Powered by Xoops" line.

Is this possible, and if so, how can it be done?

Thanks in advance, for any suggestions!

Put it in your theme,html file, just below the <{$xoops_content}> module content smarty varable. That'll get it executen on every single page.

Try putting it in your theme.html. Maybe in its own table just above the footer.

thanks for the replies, people, but two more questions...

1) i've added a simple line of text that just says "TEST" now, in it's own table just above the footer (this was quite simple) and have re-uploaded the file back to my web server, but i'm not see the modification on the live site. Any ideas?

2) although i can add static text into the theme.html file, how can i add a php script to be executed each time the page is displayed?

Thanks again!

Try emptying your template_c folder of everything Ecept the index.html.
Check to see if you have Update Templates/html set in your administration/system/preferences/general_settings then try again to go to your page and refresh page. Sometimes it helps to also empty your browser cache.

thanks again for the responses people... still one problem though.

I can now get static content working perfectly, but the PHP code is not being executed. Here's the bottom of theme.html:

<!-- End right blocks loop -->
      </td>

      <{/if}>

    </tr>
  </table>

  <table cellspacing="0">
    <tr id="hobbsadvertbar">
      <td align='center'>
        <?php
          print "advert test";
          // include("intelliLink/adverts.php");
        ?>
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>

  <table cellspacing="0">
    <tr id="footerbar">
      <td><a href="https://xoops.org/" target="_blank"><img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>poweredby.gif" alt="" /></a></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</body>
</html>


Basically, the text "advert test" is not being printed.

If, however, i put the text "advert test" above the <?php line (as standard text, of course) it appearss perfectly.

I have already tried making theme.html chmod 755, but that made no difference.

Any further suggestions?

Maybe just maybe it needs to be open and closed like this:
<{php}>

<{/php}>

excellent! i can now execute PHP code!

However, i still cannot execute include(""); calls.

print(""); works perfectly, but include(""); does not work at all. it doesn't even produce an error.

Any ideas why this is?

Thanks again people!
