Notes


Purpose of Mod

This mod was created to revert the TNG template variables to

  • revert the TNG v11 location in begin.php
  • remove the TNG v12 template variables in tng_begin.php
  • eliminate the need to update all the user-created pages that were created by long-time TNG users in the last 12 years

This mod now displays the TNG template formatting for user-created pages that used the begin.php that were created in the last 12 years. It also allows you to Edit the options and return all $tmp variables and not just the TNG v12 implementation of returning only the variables for the specific template.

Known Issues

Because Darrin moved the Template Selection variables to the Template table in the database, using this mod will result in warnings when accessing the TNG Help screens

Warning: mysqli_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, null given in D:\wamp\www\tng\tngconnect.php on line 50
Warning: mysqli_free_result() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, null given in D:\wamp\www\tng\tngconnect.php on line 81

You may not see this error on production sites where warnings are typically suppressed.
