rating_error template

[ploppy]

hi. if this is the wrong forum for this post, mod, please feel free to move. I am trying to modify the rating_error.html file. I am having trouble displaying the <%$title%> tag to appear. code is as follows:

<%include file="header.html"
          title="Rate a link"
          meta_keywords=""      
%>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="4;URL=javascript: history.go(-1)">
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>

    <!-- main content here -->

    <br />
    <b>Rate a Link</b>
	<p>There was an error rating<b><%$title%></b></p>
     <p><%$error_msg%>.</p>

    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <br />

    <!-- end of main content -->

    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>

<%include file="footer.html"%>

Here is the php:

<?php
function ProcessRating() {

    // vars global configuration
    global $theme_path, $top_rated_limit;

    // vars url & form
    global $id, $rating;

    // vars messages
    global $msg, $title;

    // vars template
    global $error_msg;

    $links_obj = new clsLink;
    $links_obj->query            = "select * from idx_link where link_id = '$id'";
    $links_obj->table_name       = "idx_link";
    $links_obj->votes_table_name = "idx_votes";
    $links_obj->top_rated_limit  = $top_rated_limit;
    $rating_result               = $links_obj->RateLink($id, $rating);

    if ($rating < 1 || $rating > 5) {
      $rating_result = 2; // error
    }


    // success
    if ($rating_result == 0) {
      $title = $links_obj->GetLinkTitle($id);
      DisplayTemplate($theme_path . "rating_ok.html", "\$title");
    }
    
    // user already rated
    elseif ($rating_result == 1) {
      $error_msg = $msg["10171"];
      DisplayTemplate($theme_path . "rating_error.html", "\$error_msg");
    }

    // rated fail
    else {
	  $error_msg = $msg["10172"];
	  $title = $links_obj->GetLinkTitle($id);
      DisplayTemplate($theme_path . "rating_error.html", "\$error_msg", "\$title");
    }
  }


  /*===================================================
    main
  ===================================================*/

  include "application.php";

  RunPreFilter(__FILE__);

  $query     = "select suspended from idx_link where link_id = '$id'";
  $result    = $dbConn->Execute($query);
  $suspended = $result->Fields("suspended");

  if ($suspended) {
    DisplayTemplate($theme_path . "suspended.html");
    RunPostFilter(__FILE__);
  }

  ProcessRating();

  RunPostFilter(__FILE__);?>

I have tried to change the position of the $title var in the php, but no luck. I can see that the variable

$rating_result = $links_obj->RateLink($id, $rating)

is taking on obviously it is something i haven't set correctly. any help greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

it wont work if it fails IF the user has already rated, change the line to this :

DisplayTemplate($theme_path . "rating_error.html", "\$error_msg", "\$title");

that asses the title variable to the template.

// rated fail
    else {
	  $error_msg = $msg["10172"];
	  $title = $links_obj->GetLinkTitle($id);
      DisplayTemplate($theme_path . "rating_error.html", "\$error_msg", "\$title");
    }
  }
