   Hello all,

   I'm working on migrating a theme designed by someone else from 2.6 to 2.8. It looks like the theme is held together by bits of string and I am trying to figure out what is going on with it. I have these calls in the index.php:

   <?php include(TEMPLATE.'nav.php'); ?>

   Is this correct or has it been deprecated? It seems like it should be this:

   <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/nav.php'); ?>

   Or does TEMPLATE point somewhere else or define a template. Part of the problem is that I cannot find a file called nav.php which is making me think that the file itself didn't make it over in the transition or is this somehow defining an internal template style?

   <?php echo TEMPLATEPATH; ?>

   Will give you the output of TEMPLATEPATH...

   See what you get...

   It just refers to a constant. You can change it if you want..

   Regarding the slash, that really depends on the value it contains, it may already have the ending slash...

   Thanks,

   I actually know how the TEMPLATEPATH worjs as U use it all the time, it's the first one I am wondering about, just the plain TEMPLATE. When I echo that it just outputs the word 'TEMPLATE" so I am wondering if it was either incorrectly entered by the original programmer or is a deprecated command.

   OK, solved. There was an external includes file that was define the variable TEMPLATE, so that is what was going on and where the missing files were.
