how to set the title of a non-WP page

[Connie]

Great, now I can try to collect my puzzled brain and recover!

I had just a funny remembrance: CMSMADESIMPLE has an addon, which uses the page-layout for non-system-pages, to integrate an online-shop. It is called something like "shopskin helper", www.cmsmadesimple.org

They do like that:

you have to set 2 defined comment-lines in the template, 1 before the contnent and the 2nd after the content before the footer

than you run a script, this copies the parts above and under content, writes top.php and bottom.php

and in the non-system-pagetempate you include those

if you run that script by cron-job, it is always uptodate

that could have been a solution for you as well, but my grey cells were to slow..

Cheers, Connie

Actually I am doing something similar in concept but much simpler and involves no cron job... I basically created two files (header.php and footer.php) which have the wp-load include as a require_once (include_once would work too, but it needs to be a once type include/require) and then the get_header() and get_footer() functions respectively.
After that instead of including the file (which gives me the errors I posted), I use file_get_contents and then print those contents... The result is the same, the header and the footer are always up to date without a cron job, and I can now wrap ANY content inside a WP page...
I'll show you what I did when I'm done.
