RCI parts

  • this calls the text of the module
  • /templates/pagename.tpl.php

  • this is the text shown at the site of the location of the rci call.
  • usually includes PHP code
  • /includes/runtime/uniquetitle_pagename_pagelocation.php

<!--- Begin RCI code --->

// RCI CODE ENDS
>?
</code>
<!--- End RCI code --->		 

• example RCI code module
  • contains
    • flat HTML
    • PHP code

<?php
//RCI CODE BEGINS
global string-x,string-y

$rci = '';   //clear any existing rci's on this page
$rci .='<B>this is the text that is returned' . $string-x . ';
$rci .='<B>this is the text that is returned' . $string-x . ';
return $rci   // spit out the formatted text
// RCI CODE ENDS
>?

Admin RCIs do not use template files, so the RCI CALL code goes right in the .php pages themselves.
