Dreamweaver front-end php modification

Dreamweaver is a very popular PHP website building system. Its feature is the separation of front and backends. The frontend is responsible for displaying web content, while the backend is responsible for managing various configurations of the website and publishing articles and other content. However, although the DreamWeaver system is very complete, some users still need to make some modifications to suit their needs. This article aims to introduce how to modify the front-end PHP code in the DreamWeaver system.

1. Modify the front theme file

In the DreamWeaver system, the front theme file is saved under dede\templets. In order to make modifications, you first need to back up the original theme files to prevent improper modifications from causing website errors. Next, we can modify the theme file in the following ways.

1. Edit the theme file directly

After backing up the original theme file, we can open the file to be modified for editing. The Dreamweaver theme file uses the smarty template engine, so you need to pay attention to the correct use of smarty syntax when editing. After editing is completed, re-upload the file to the corresponding location. It should be noted that before modifying the theme file, you need to ensure that you master the basic knowledge of PHP and smarty syntax.

2. Use smarty plug-in

If we need to add some uncommon functions or variables to the theme file, we can use the smarty plug-in to supplement it. For example, if we need to display information other than the publication time of the article on the article page, we can use the smarty plug-in to obtain other information such as the author of the article and the number of views.

The method of using smarty plug-in is as follows:

(1) Save the plug-in file in the dede\include\plugins directory

(2) Use the plug-in function in the template file

For example, the code to display the article author on the article page is as follows:

{$article_writer=$GLOBALS['authors']->GetName($arctiny->aid)}

$GLOBALS['authors'] is the plug-in object, GetName() is the plug-in function, and $arctiny is the information object of the current article. It should be noted that to use the smarty plug-in, you need to be familiar with how to use the plug-in. You can refer to the Dreamweaver Smarty plug-in manual to learn.

3. Overwrite and modify according to theme files

Some Dreamweaver themes are carried out by overwriting and modifying. This method is more suitable for some themes with similar overall styles, such as Subthemes in different colors. We can overwrite the modifications by modifying the style sheet and other files of one theme, then copying and renaming them to files of other themes.

2. Modify the Dreamweaver function library file

The Dreamweaver function library file is saved in the dede\include directory, which contains most of the functions used in the system. We can modify the dreamweaver system by modifying the function library file.

However, you need to be particularly careful when modifying the function library file, because the function library file involves the core functions of the Dreamweaver system, and improper modification may cause serious errors on the website. In order to avoid this situation, we can use version management tools such as git to make modifications after backing up the original function library files, so that they can be rolled back at any time.

3. Conclusion

Through the introduction of this article, we can see that modifying front-end php in the DreamWeaver system requires a certain technical foundation and requires special care. Therefore, before modifying the front-end code, we need to seriously consider whether modifications are really needed and whether it is necessary to seek more professional technical support. Only make modifications after you are confident that you can master the modification skills and have tested them repeatedly. I hope this article can be helpful to users who are modifying the PHP frontend of DreamWeaver.
