FindRetro's API

[Joe]

There's probably 500 tutorials on this but people keep asking me.

Add 'findretros.php' and 'findretros_config.php' to your skins folder, add the 'client.php' code to the top of your client, or anywhere on your CMS where you want them to vote. Make sure to edit 'Example' in the findretros_config.php to your FindRetro's server username.

Spoiler: findretros.php

Spoiler: findretros_config.php

<?php

    'pagename' => 'Example',
    /* How many seconds should it take to try and reach FindRetros if it's down? */
    'timeout'  => 2,
    /* Are you using CloudFlare? If so, set this to true. */
    'cloudflare' => false,
    /* Incase FindRetros.com has a new domain, change it below. */
    'api' => 'https://findretros.com/'

Spoiler: client.php

<?php
require_once 'findretros_config.php';
require_once 'findretros.php';
$FindRetros = new FindRetros();

[kiee]

Thank you

 

[Silver]

This has gave me a white screen on client.

 

[Silver]

Fucking..

<?php

require_once 'findretros_config.php';
require_once 'findretros.php';
$FindRetros = new FindRetros();
if($FindRetros->hasClientVoted()) {
    echo 'You have voted!';
}else{
    // echo 'You have yet to vote!';
    $FindRetros->redirectClientToVote();
}



?>

Include the end tag.

 

[Weasel]

Fucking..

<?php

require_once 'findretros_config.php';
require_once 'findretros.php';
$FindRetros = new FindRetros();
if($FindRetros->hasClientVoted()) {
    echo 'You have voted!';
}else{
    // echo 'You have yet to vote!';
    $FindRetros->redirectClientToVote();
}



?>

Include the end tag.

Not sure what you are talking about, or why you are swearing, but omitting the PHP end tag in a PHP-only file is actually common (/best) practice.

 

[Laynester]

Fucking..

<?php

require_once 'findretros_config.php';
require_once 'findretros.php';
$FindRetros = new FindRetros();
if($FindRetros->hasClientVoted()) {
    echo 'You have voted!';
}else{
    // echo 'You have yet to vote!';
    $FindRetros->redirectClientToVote();
}



?>

Include the end tag.

you couldve easily enabled php error reporting and found that out yourself

Fucking..
