filter drop down list

[meir]

I am not able to get filter drop down list work :
----------------
ob_start();
$OL=1; require("calendar.php");
unset($OL);
include "plugins/filter.php";
$content=ob_get_contents();
----------------

However, by doing this I am able to get the filter work
--------------
ob_start();
$OL=1; require("calendar.php");
$OL=1; require("calendar/config.inc.php");
unset($OL);
eclog(basename(__FILE__) . ": including filter.php" );
include "plugins/filter.php";
$content=ob_get_contents();
----------------

I did set serverConfig and include_path correctly. Is there something else I need to take care?

thanks in advance

If you want to use require("calendar.php"); that script has to be in the /calendar/ directory.

If the script it not in the /calendar/ directory, you'll have to adjust the path of calendar.php relative to the script.

So your corrected code would be

PHP Code:

ob_start();
$OL=1; require("calendar/calendar.php");
unset($OL);
include "calendar/plugins/filter.php";
$content=ob_get_contents();

I tried - didn't work. Should I continue to use config.inc.php explicitly?

If that makes it work, it's okay to do that. (Seems the server is forgetting variables when used this way...)

require_once - probably not including config.inc.php since :

$CSS=1; require("calendar/calendar.php") is executed in nuke's header.php and later in block/module when we try
$OL=1;require("calendar/calendar.php") - require_once would fail. But not sure why $epcCategories is not set with CSS=1 since you do include config.inc.php whether it is $CSS=1 or$OL=1.
