I edit/added several lines of code in a lot of files of punBB.
so my question now is, if there is any possibility of keeping that additional lines in while updating punbb to a newer version?

or do i have to go through my whole addons/mods and set it up again?

Hi,
I'm using a Template System, and i want to replace {$tickerlist} (in the Template) with the 10 newest Topics of the Forum. So i need to put the "<li>foobar</li>" output from the extern.php into a variable that i can assign to $tickerlist later.

I tried to replace

echo '<li><a href="'.$pun_config['o_base_url'].'/viewtopic.php?id='.$cur_topic['id'].'&action=new" title="'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['subject']).'">'.$subject_truncated.'</a></li>'."\n";

with

$ret .=  '<li><a href="'.$pun_config['o_base_url'].'/viewtopic.php?id='.$cur_topic['id'].'&action=new" title="'.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['subject']).'">'.$subject_truncated.'</a></li>'."\n";

in the extern.php.

Then included the extern.php in my php file that assigns variables for the template and assigned the $ret to the tickerlist.

include 'http://localhost/pages/virtpress/forum/extern.php';
$smarty->assign('tickerlist', $ret);

(I assigned the $_GET variables directly at the beginning in the extern.php, because i must not use paramters behind the URL.)

<ul>
{$tickerlist}
</ul>

Now it puts out nothing at the page -.-
Why's that? Anyone has another idea for using extern.php with a Template System?
