I've got this installed in the forum but I'm interested to know if I can use it as an article system because I like its clean, simple template. Right now, what I have in mind as to how to add articles is to manually create a page for EACH article but I'm thinking this is too complicated and if I have hundreds of articles, it will be too messy to have several hundreds of webtemplates page too.

Is there a way to simplify this, to have a simple articles system using WebTemplates? I heard this and GARS Lite can be combined and customized, but I don't know exactly how to do it. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I've got to say that this is an awesome tool - Logician, you truly are the master vB hack guru :) *clicks install*

[ChrisBaktis]

certain admins cant access the webtemplates page...says they do not have permission...what permission do i need to set for them to be able to edit pages? They can see the WebTemplates link - when it is pressed says they dont have permission.

[arob42]

I have a user with with the name <<<username>>>. When I add his name to the Editor Usernames box, I get the response below:

Apparently there is no user named <<>>!

Is there an easy fix for this or should I convince my user to change his name.

Thanks!

[dilbert]

In PHP parsing, themes are off.

Is there a way to alter this?

I do not understand any php coding, but I am fair with cold fusion. I created a test cold fusion page and included it in a test template and it called the page and performed the cold fusion function. :)

I don't have any of the other info though, the header, footer, theme...

I'd love to be able to add this too, that would solve a lot of my troubles with integrating my site.

Any suggestions (aside from learning php:rolleyes:)?

Thanks, Cliff

Logician,

I have spent many hours working on your great modification for VB. I woulud like to report a bug and I have found within this thread.

You seem to have a permissions issue when an admin edits the template and ads a username to allow that user to edit the page:


FIREFOX: http://www.sportsrant.com/forums/editors.php?do=edit&pg=ad_template
user/pass test/test

I either get a blank page or a no permissions issue. The username is entered into the admincp to allow the page to be "edited by"

Internet Explorer:

Same permission error, but there is also a javascript error when the submit button is clicked.



Can you please look into this

[msimonds]

It also does not allow admins, even myself, to edit the page

I thought that there maybe some sort modification error with vb pager, but I removed it and it is still broken


Thanks

It is "can admin styles" permission

When I login as "test" I can't see that page either. So it is that view permission that is stoping him to edit that page. If you allow him to view the page first, it should work ok. (I don't know what prevent him to view the page, it can be that his usergroup is banned from webtemplate, or webtemplate is a draft or his username is banned etc.)

(I don't know what prevent him to view the page, it can be that his usergroup is banned from webtemplate, or webtemplate is a draft or his username is banned etc.)

These are the settings on the page for test 1:

Draft: No
Disallowed Usergroups: none checked
Disallowed usernames: None entered
Editor usergroups: None checked
Editor Usernames: test; mike

Now you can view the page and even edit it, but when you click on submit as test, it states:

These are the settings on the page for test 2:

Draft: No
Disallowed Usergroups: none checked
Disallowed usernames: None entered
Editor usergroups: Regular members and Administrators:
Editor Usernames: test; mike

same result!!!

test, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

this happens as either Mike (me as an admin) or test!!

I thought it was maybe a conflict with another modification but I installed a board from scratch and then installed this modification and it still happened. Something with the function permissions is messing that up

Is there any chance that you can look into this, I would gladly donate to get this resolved. This modification is great man, and this could become a great advertisement tool for future clients. I have 3 so far that are interested in doing this, if they can edit their own page

[msimonds]

Could it possible be something not with the permissions in the scripts, but maybe the permissions issue or something to do with the form in the template:

WebTemplates_Editors_EditPage

[msimonds]

Sir,

a friend of mine, who is the orginal developer of my custom CMS, Natch (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=24138) was kind enough to come and look at the errors that were being created.

He was able to get past the .js error by editing the template: WebTemplates_Editors_EditPage

He added the following code to the top of the template:

<if condition="$show['wysiwyg']">
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_wysiwyg.js"></script>
<if condition="$show['mozilla_js']">
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_moziwyg.js"></script>
</if>
<else />
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_stdedit.js"></script>
</if>




attached it the full, corrected, edited template

However there is still a permissions issue with the same tests as before!!


I hope this helps and maybe you could look into the permissions issue for us sir. I would truly appreciate it!

Thanks to Natch for correcting this!!! :banana: :banana:


*****These changes were only tested for vb 3.5.4*****

[msimonds]

after doing some more internal investigations. Your template system is not erroring. I re-installed it once again on a clean, unhacked version of VB 3.5.4 and it works as designed.

I do believe that however it is conflicting with some other hacks and their permissions!

Sorry for pointing the finger and jumping the gun!!

Mike

[robert_2004]

i'll install this tomorrow or the next day, and have a look at it - see what i can do to help.

in the mean time, try installing the "vB plugin order" mod. it will allow you to choose when this webtemplates plugin should be executed at the hook location.

[arossphoto]

I've read the manual and searched this topic, but I'm still confused about using php includes. I have a dynamic php file created with dreamweaver that pulls info about members from the database and I want to display that in the body of a template.

I've tried putting the include in the "PHP Include" field and the "Template" field, but neither works. The Parse Method is set to php. How can I do this?

Thanks.

Oh, meant to mention that when I place the include in the Template field it displays the file, but not the header and footer. Even though I've selected to use the Default Template, header and footer.

Hello guys,
I use webtemplates for various pages including our podcast page which dynamically displays the number of downloads. It's excellent.
I need to do something which I can imagine many people might want to do.
I have my forums and we publish DVD reviews in a specific forum there.
I want to present the reviews in a nicer way, with more powerful search tools, integrating DVD specifications, screen captures, news etc which I can't do on the forums.
So I have developed a separate website avplay.com to be launched soon.
When a review is published, we will create a thread on our forums for discussion of the review.
Below the review I want to display that thread with login & register options for people who aren't members of our forums, yet. Plus reply options for people who are.
Is this possible with webtemplates? I susepct it is. More to the point has someone already done it who can help with examples?
Many thanks in advance.

Webtemplates is a GREAT HACK, but it sounds like you want something more like GARS which has all of these features already. I use both Webtemplates and GARS since they really do two fairly different things. WT is perfect for static pages, a way to hook in php bits, html files, etc. GARS is better for a review or article system if you want people to be able to create and edit content without the admincp.

Either way, both of these systems are essential, great support too!

I'm getting errors with editors.php - whenever I (or an assigned editor, non-admin) goes to edit one of the pages, they can view the HTML code and can make the appropriate change but as soon as they press update they go to editors.php and receive a no permission error.

[CSS59]

does this hack have a search function?

This is an ongoing error and Logician seems to busy to look into it!

[msimonds]

NickOr - My thoughts make me believe that this permissions issue has to do with some other hack or modification that is conflicting with the permissions...

What hacks/mods do you have installed? I really think that it has to do with that. I have done and spend many hours (literelly) working on the permissions issue and I am sure that is it!! I know this because if you install a fresh un-modded copy of VB and then only install this mod, the page editor works just fine

I hope we can find a fix, I really want to use this system on my site.

[Nick0r]

Any ideas anyone? logician?

[Makaveli105]

Awesome hack, I have 2 questions though!

1. I have created my own footer, and have assigned my HTML page to it, and put $footer in my HTML, but it shows my default forum footer, instead of the custom one I created for these pages.

2. Is there a way to force a certain style to the custom pages?

Thanks :D

[Logician]

I'm getting errors with editors.php - whenever I (or an assigned editor, non-admin) goes to edit one of the pages, they can view the HTML code and can make the appropriate change but as soon as they press update they go to editors.php and receive a no permission error.

This is not something I can confirm when I test it in my enviroment. It sounds like you have a clashing hack issue. I appreciate if you can check if there is a clash with another hack. Please turn off all other hacks, let only webtemplates installed and test it out if this still happens. If this fixes, then you can enable other pluggins one by one until you find the culprit.

[Nick0r]

Logician, just done that with every plugin + product and it still didn't work. Could it be because I run 3.5.1? That's the best I can think of to be honest.

Or because I never un-installed/removed the old version of webtemplates before I upgraded from 3.0.x?

[Nick0r]

Ah ha, template revert = fixed. Cheers all.

[Keyser520]

What would you recommend using to create a home page that can integrate with all this other stuff?

[Logician]

1. I have created my own footer, and have assigned my HTML page to it, and put $footer in my HTML, but it shows my default forum footer, instead of the custom one I created for these pages.

you created your footer as a "webtemplate footer", not a regular footer template right? Also you made sure you set your webtemplate to use that footer in edit webtemplate page?

[Shaliza]

So, if one doesn't want to use any of a template's layout, they don't have to? They can use their own layout with the only vB-related thing being the link & of course the code?

Also, does it have pagination & a feature where people can make comments? The comments thing isn't really a big deal, as I can just make posts for that if there isn't one.

Maybe you can use vbadvanced which is a good hack. Or check my FAQ about using webtemplates as site main page.

Good to know. I think I'll just use this instead of integrating a CMS.

I designed that structure so that people can share their webtemplate/webqueries with eachother easily. So it would make sense only if hack users post their own webtemplate designs. However unfortunately people don't use it.

There is no automatic way, sorry! If you want to do it, you have to do it manually (ie split review into 12 different WTs and link eachother at the bottom of all).

If you are sure you applied installation instructions correctly and determined to have the hack, PM me FTP access to your server and vb admin cp access and let me install it for you.

I'm positive there is nothing wrong with the hack.

Does your board load fine? That file (adminfunctions_template.php) is a part of default vbulletin installation. If you don't see it, there is definetely something wrong with your vb installation.

[PanamaRed]

Never mind I got it.. I had uploded the forum folder as it's own folder, instead of unpacking it into the appropriate areas... Sorry I am new to this stuff..

Appriceate all of the help :)

I have a question about this mod.

I am creating a new set of forums on my site and these forums will contain "articles" to which no one can reply. I want to have these "forum ids" contain a postbit that has a different look than my standard "threads and posts" since people cannot reply to these posts.

will this mod allow me to create custom pages to contain the content of these threads and posts (one post per thread).

thanks in advance.

Because you removed vbulletin style itself while using this custom stylesheet so some vb HTML tags are now orphaned. For instance webtemplate footer has "thead" class which is part of default vbulletin style but your stylesheet does not define it properly.

But, shouldn't my custom stylesheet work in lue of the vB one? It works fine on other pages (non CMS)

[jeffj]

since no one has ever responded to my prior post asking a question about this mod, I'll make the following observation and someone can dispute it if they like.

it appears to me as though you have to generate custom links in vb to get any of this code to work (if you want to display a page using the web templates mod)

I asked if templates created with this mod could be used in certain forums (as the forum template) and no one responded.

Since then I have download and installed this mod and found out that the answer is NO - you cannot use this mod to create custom templates for certain fourms.

To be honest - without generating custom links inside VB I'm sure what what use this mod is.. I see the benefit for custom pages on your site, but you have to generate custom links inside your html/menuing system or vbcode to display these templates.

I exported my default style and changed the name - then re-imported the style and applied that style to my new forum on my website. I will simply change the templates that need to be changed inside that style to accomplish what I need.

Unless someone can tell me an easy way to use the templates in this mod and apply those templates to one of my forums I will be removing this mod since it does not need my needs without hacking other code.

This is a very nice mod if you have need for it... very straight forward, well thought out and very comprehensive...

[Kihon Kata]

I agree on some parts of your complaints. This templates system is for users with advanced/semi-advanced experience with php/html/vB, unless of course you are just using the prebuilt ones that Logician has included herein. Logician usually is good at responding to questions, but it seems as if sometimes he forgets that novice users may be implementing this and trying to use it. Nevertheless, I appreciate his work here. I can tell you that MANY hours were eaten up building this system and he should be complimented for that. Luckily I had someone asisst me in building something that I could use with this system. Now I just plug in info and it works. I, for one, love the permissions implemented for use with this.

This templates system is for users with advanced/semi-advanced experience with php/html/vB, unless of course you are just using the prebuilt ones that Logician has included herein. Logician usually is good at responding to questions, but it seems as if sometimes he forgets that novice users may be implementing this and trying to use it. Nevertheless, I appreciate his work here. I can tell you that MANY hours were eaten up building this system and he should be complimented for that. Luckily I had someone asisst me in building something that I could use with this system. Now I just plug in info and it works. I, for one, love the permissions implemented for use with this.

First - my opinion was not a complaint
Second - I am not a novice user have written and contributed numerous mods myself.

Finally - my post was merely an observation based on a lack of response.

[Kihon Kata]

First - my opinion was not a complaintMy bad!
Complaint was a bad choice of words, sorry.

Second - I am not a novice user have written and contributed numerous mods myself.Then you should have no problem implementing changes then.

[Logician]

Finally - my post was merely an observation based on a lack of response.
Thanks for sharing your observations and sorry for the inconvience with the lack of response. I just want to tell my part of the story so that I can be excused for this in the future too:

I used to be VERY active in vb.org a few years ago. I had a lot of hacks (I used to be second hacker with most hack releases) and I provided hundreds (literally) of hacks in vb2 hack requests forum for requests of other people. If I released all in these forums, believe me my hack count will be around 300-400.

However my business schedule does not allow me to spend more time in vb.org anymore even though I enjoy sharing hacks and helping others. So I stopped releasing new hack threads and attending to hack requests forum. I focussed supporting my existing hacks which are popular (like Webtemplates) since many people are dependant on it. But even this can be very time consuming and tiresome when your hack count is high, hacks are complicated and you get a lot of support questions via thread, email and PM system.

I have many other ready hacks which I use in my own board that can be popular if released here but I am afraid to release anymore (even if the are already coded) because I don't think I can spend time to give support to new hacks. Even if this is just answering questions.

Even the answer questions can sometimes be a problem. I give very detailed instructions, manuals, FAQs about my hacks to reduce number of help requests but this does not help much. Sometimes a user claim, there is a bug in the system, you check twice, exchange a lot of messages with the user, even get access info to test things yourself and then it figures that he just didn't read instructions well and missing an obvious step. Time wasted for nothing! Or you give an answer to a user but a month later another user asks the same question and says he doesn't have time to check if it is already answered in the thread. Like we have time to answer same questions everyday! ^^

Bottom line, I'm not in the position of supporting my hacks very well due to my busy schedule anymore. I can follow 2 paths:
1- I can remove all my hacks and don't release new ones.
2- I can release them as they are but without support.

I choose to follow the second path because I believe that this helps people who can use the hack without needing support. I'm aware people which needs help is not happy to not receive it in this scenario and I'm sorry for them but I still think this is better than removing all my hacks due to lack of time. I'm doing my best to give easy answers to questions when I can have time but I can not spare time to give a full support and cover all questions anymore. Sorry for this.

[Logician]

I asked if templates created with this mod could be used in certain forums (as the forum template) and no one responded.

After that looong story above, here is my comment: :knockedout:

The answer is "no" as you found out because this mod is for creating "sites other pages" which is powered by vbulletin. However what you are trying to achieve is change vbulletin's postbit system to make it look like something else in different forums. This request does not have any relation to what this hack does.


I exported my default style and changed the name - then re-imported the style and applied that style to my new forum on my website. I will simply change the templates that need to be changed inside that style to accomplish what I need.


Exactly! So I don't know why you need this hack (or any hack) for this request in the first place. ;)

[Logician]

But, shouldn't my custom stylesheet work in lue of the vB one? It works fine on other pages (non CMS)
It does IF you include "$headinclude" variable into your webtemplate/webtemplate theme you are using. You probably didnt do this

[Kihon Kata]

Thanks for your nice reply. Very sorry Logician to hear that, but I am personally wishing you best of luck with your job...I know the feeling.

Now, where exactly do I add "$headinclude"? I tried adding it to my header and to the template and it didn't work. Also I am using "no parent template" option.

Here is how I use this:

(Parse method is PHP)


include("/home/httpd/vhosts/MYSITE.com/httpdocs/scripts-includes/top.php");
include("/home/httpd/vhosts/MYSITE.com/httpdocs/scripts-includes/newsletter-google.php");

$userid=$bbuserinfo['userid'];
$usrObj=new users($userid);
$username=$usrObj->getUsername();
print("$popupthepm");

$mesg=$_POST[mesg];
if(!$mesg)
$mesg=$_GET[mesg];

echo <<<TOP

vb $headinclude should come before </head> tag so you must include it somewhere inside your included file:
include("/home/httpd/vhosts/MYSITE.com/httpdocs/scripts-includes/top.php");

If you can't do it for some reason, alternatively you can remove your vb tags in your code. Eg. don't use

class='thead'

inside your webtemplate.

I am not sure what or how to properly code up the include inside my /home/httpd/vhosts/MYSITE.com/httpdocs/scripts-includes/top.php so I can't do that.

So I went for your alternate way, and I didn't have any "thead" in my tempate other than how it's shows up in my last post.

EDIT: I fooled around with it and now my CSS works LOL

Question, I've uploaded "wt_wt.php" but it can't find the file when I'm in the ACP... Any help would be appreciated!

[Logician]

Make sure you uploaded, includes/xml/cpnav_webtemplates.xml and then refreshed the admincp

[King Kovifor]

I've uploaded it, and i've restarted my browser about 4 times... It's still not working.

Another Note: In 3.6.0 Beta 2, you can't export your templates...

And if you do something like delete template (as i've renamed it and uploaded a second copy wt_webtemp.php) it will register wt_wt.php?do=killtemp and those things.

So is this board version 3.6.0? Sorry but I didn't confirm the hack works with that version yet. This is probably why.

[King Kovifor]

So far everything works except the reading of the file as wt_wt.php and the export templates...

OK I've solved my problem with the file by editing the file wt_wt.php. replacing anything wt_wt with wt_webtemp

[tommyxv]

I installed this on a fresh 3.6 beta 2 install (my test forum) and it works without any problems.

Hi Logician. I just wanted to thank you for this extremely versatile and useful system. I used the original version in my vb2 forum for years, and now that I've finally upgraded I'm delighted to see how much more powerful the vb3 version is. The ability to give editorial permissions and allow others to edit via the WYSIWYG panel is incredible!

So again, thank you for all the time and considerable effort you've put into this essential mod. :)

Please do not remove the footer copyright. This is a free hack so what's the harm if it has a small tagline in the footer? It helps me keep stats of websites using the hack.

Sounds like a problem in installation. Looks like some characters didnt imported well. Probably line breaks became  somehow in the exporting. Can be because of character encoding of your MYSQL version or smt. Cant say why without digging deep into your server.

Temporary solution, in view.php find:
eval('print_output("' . WTgettemplate("$WT[themetemplate_un]") . '");');

replace it with:
@eval('print_output("' . WTgettemplate("$WT[themetemplate_un]") . '");');

This will not fix the problem but it will silence it so error messages will be gone.

[Rik Brown]

Logician: The code change with the preceding "@" eliminated the error messages. I look forward to trying this out.

Thanks. -- Rik

Hi,

First just a quick thanks for a neat add-on. Ideal for simple pages. I do have a problem with VBulletin Styles though.

My site has 2 areas - one area is branded in a particula style and includes some webtemplates. If I log in as the guest user - then the webtemplates are displayed in the default style for the whole site. Is there any way that alter the default style for the webtemplates rather than using the site default?

When I was 'playing' around with your code. I finally figured out that the file() function was not returning anything to be displayed. Even though I could paste the link to get to the page. Perhaps a streaming methood would work?

VBA is a portal where you layout your main page. WebTemplates lets you create as many different pages with custom content as you desire while using the vbulletin permissions, etc.

Yes i know that but what i meant was to put it simply let you easily create menu's to link all the web template pages together.So for example can i make a menu with "link1,link2,link3" that only displays on the main page and a seperate menu that only appears on other pages with "link4,link5,link6" through the admin panel similar to how VBA does.Or will i have to manually code my own menu's.

I uploaded all the files into the correct path and uploaded the product web templates xml file.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Two tables, yes. Thread table and forum table


SELECT " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.threadid AS threadid, " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.title AS title, " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.postusername AS postusername," . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.postuserid AS postuserid," . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.dateline AS dateline," . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum.description AS description

WHERE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.sticky=0 AND " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.visible=1

I tried the above in a query window not using " . TABLE_PREFIX . ", so, you might find an error in my pasting of the " . TABLE_PREFIX . " into the sql statement.

[Nick0r]

Hiya guys,

I'm using a custom template to display my navigation at the top of my site - and it's called using a custom variable, call it $foo.

In order to highlight the active page I do an if condition check for THIS_SCRIPT. I've set THIS_SCRIPT using the phpinclude section of each webtemplate so that each one can have a seperate THIS_SCRIPT definition.

Now - when I try to get it to work, the if condition works within the logician webtemplate, but not within my navigational webtemplate, called by my custom variable.

Any ideas?

[ronoxQ]

When I made my first test template, basically all I did was add the word "test."

However, it did NOT style itself to look like my vBulletin site.

What am I doing wrong?

Make sure you set a "theme" for your webtemplate. Do not make it use "no parent webtemplate" in theme section if you want vb style. Also make sure you set webtemplate header/footer correctly.

Hi Sinan, hope you are well :)

I've noticed a few people saying WTs is working fine on their 3.6 installations, but am waiting for the offcial green light from you before I upgrade... any idea when you might be able to look into it and give it the all clear if you do?

Thanks! And keep up the good work :)

Hello!!

I have tried to run a web query but when I tried to compare two fields it doesn't work.

I create a table with some especial values and I called it "vb_tbulletins" and I want to compare the values to the customer option fields that I have also created.
Fields5,6,7.

If I run the webquery just like the way is shown it works fine.
SELECT COMPNAME,BULDTE,MAKETXT,MODELTXT,YEARTXT,SUMMARY
FROM vb_tbulletins

If a tried to get the information from the users extra fields works OK.
SELECT COMPNAME,BULDTE,MAKETXT,MODELTXT,YEARTXT,SUMMARY,f ield5,fiel6,field7
FROM vb_tbulletins,vb_userfield

Now if a want to compare the fields, then I get nothing.

SELECT COMPNAME,BULDTE,MAKETXT,MODELTXT,YEARTXT,SUMMARY,f ield5,fiel6,field7
FROM vb_tbulletins,vb_userfield
WHERE MAKETXT=field5 AND MODELTXT=field6 AND YEARTXT=field7


Also how can I use the "fields" from the visitor user?

Thank you for help!!

[soletrader]

Will you release a version 3.6.0?

[Kihon Kata]

Why does he need to? It works just fine on 3.6

[Logician]

I've just tested webtemplates with a clean 3.6.x gold and I couldn't find any problems, bugs or glitches. As far as I can see it is working fine. So I can say it is safe to use it with that vb version too.

Yet if anybody catches a problem, please let me know.

Awesome hack. Just installed it in 3.6 Gold. Can't wait to start churning out content :)

Logician, I'm struggling with this hack and the THIS_SCRIPT variable. What I'm trying to do is make half my templates be assigned one THIS_SCRIPT and half the other. Now I've used the PHP_INCLUDE and that works fine for contents WITHIN the template, but I have a tab navigation system that's called before the template is called - and PHP_INCLUDE won't influence that.

Is there anyway I can achieve my goal (or, is there a way I can have two logician webtemplates running?)

I havent tested it before but I believe it should work fine if you clone view.php as view2.php and then change the value of THIS_SCRIPT in view2.php

It is not possible to do it with webquery because a single query can not get such a list due to vb database structure.

www.mysite.com/sitename/

Not sure if this can be done but any help would be appreciated.

Make sure you .htaccess looks like this

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^view_(.*).htm$ view.php?pg=$1

if this is your only .htaccess or if forum is in the root directory
you might want to write it like this

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

A theme = a webtemplate that can host other "webtemplates" in.

So if you are trying to create a stand-alone page, you should NOT create a theme, you should create a regular webtemplate.

If you want to create a general design in which you will display other webtemplates in, then you should create a theme.

Since themes will display "other webtemplates" inside, you should point in which section of the theme you are going to insert your other webtemplates while creating themes. You do it by using "$includedtemplate" variable somewhere inside your theme. You get the error message because you attempt to create a theme but use this variable nowhere inside it (which is pointless as the error tells). So you must put $includedtemplate inside your theme to avoid the error.

[Logician]

I think your vbseo redirection is clashing with webtemplates redirection. I don't use that product so I can't advise how to solve the clash but maybe it can work if you put wt redirection lines before vbseo lines in your .htaccess.

Hello again Logician,
Was wondering if you could answer a few things im trying to find out.
I have just installed Webtemplates and so far it looks pretty nice from what i see.Im trying to learn the basics right now but i wanted to know for certain a few major things.

First and the most major question is,is there a way i can make a main homepage in webtemplates that will display news pulled for a certain forum ID?similar to how various other CMS's do.

Second is more something i am totally in the dark about.I posted a while back in this topic but never really got an answer.I want to make a two column template used for all my main site pages.This i can do but what i would like is to have the left column have a main navigational menu and the right column to display the page content.

Certain pages of my site will have different navigational menu's then others so my question is in webtemplates is there an easy way to do this without manually coding everything?It would be a real pain as you can imagine to add new links if each template would have to be edited just to add a link or two if you know what i mean.

Also is there a way to create new custom catagories to seperate webtemplate pages via the admin panel?For example currently there is "Default WebTemplates" and "Your Custom Pages" i was hoping to see an option to add more such as for example "Catagory 1","Catgory 2",ect.
Thanks for your time and for making this awsome mod :D

[Logician]

Please read thread and FAQ for this. I've already answered it.

Yes sounds possible but may require some HTML design and PHP coding in phpinclude section of your webtemplate or hacking in view.php file.

I am so sorry but I'm not able to meet all these custom requests of hack users due to my busy schedule. I've released this hack which gives high functionality for such needs but every user needs to find out how to manage it themselves. My business really does not allow me to deal with every custom request one by one.


Certain pages of my site will have different navigational menu's then others so my question is in webtemplates is there an easy way to do this without manually coding everything?.

You can use different themes for these pages or use conditionals to display different menus in different templates.

[bhxtyrant]

Hey jluerken,
Yes thats exactly what i mean,That pages ios pretty close to mine in layout except you have many more things in your left column then i will as i only want to have a navigational menu and possibly a "Online Users" area to show what users are viewing the page/site similar to how VB does showing the number of guests and names of logged in users.By the way would you mind if i PMed you reguarding a small question about VBAcmps portal?I was viewing your site and noticed you done something i have been trying to do for ages but cant seem to get right.I tryed at there support forums but no one seems to want to help :S

@Logician
Thanks for answering those,I didnt expect to get anything custom made Just was more of trying to find out if the things i wanted to do were possible with Webtemplates.Looks like many of them are though.By the way just wanted to also ask do you do custom mods?Our main admin might be interested in paying for the work that would need to be done to get webtemplates running like we need it.Thanks

Note in 6.August. 2006 : I've tested Webtemplates with vbulletin 3.6.0 gold version and they are compatible. So this hack released here is both for vb 3.5.x AND 3.6.x

[Caddyman]

i was wondering if this is possible with this add-on "webtemplates"

i have a forum that has resources for cell phone users and we have many threads for wallpapers.

so say i have thread#1 and it has all these 130x130 .gif attachments

and i make a webtemplate called WT#1 (for example)

can i have WT#1 i guess query or take and find the attachments of thread#1 and display the images as thumbnails (or fullsize) in .gif format?

all this on same server, same domain, same DB.

is this possible? im just looking for a more efficient way of displaying my resource to my users.

im not very technical but the other admins on my site are and i came up with this idea and im trying to support my techs in implementing this.

TIA for any replies or suggestions.

[VBUsers]

is there a version for 3.6?

[Logician]

Hey logician,

Any help on why the preview template button won't work?
If you mean the preview button in admin cp create/edit webtemplate page, yes, I'm aware of that but there is no quick fix for this sorry. Actually the hack inherits that row "Search in Template - Find - Preview - Copy" from vb template administration and I kept it as it works fine for find feature. Previewing is not working in that screen, you need to save your webtemplate and visit it.

I just installed this on 3.6 Gold and she is running great....

I have one question/request...

How hard would it be to allow some usergroups to create a page based on their membership to a "Contributor Group" and their page name would be based on their User Name (removal of noncompliant characters or spaces)?

I would like the page to only be visable as long as the owner is a member of the contributor group (IE, let their support expire - page goes away).

I assume that this could all be done via a CRON right?

I need to learn to use the basic code but I think this script could be used to allow members to have a page of their own paid for through a site donation and they would be able to edit and update their own page...

That would be really great to have!

If you mean the preview button in admin cp create/edit webtemplate page, yes, I'm aware of that but there is no quick fix for this sorry. Actually the hack inherits that row "Search in Template - Find - Preview - Copy" from vb template administration and I kept it as it works fine for find feature. Previewing is not working in that screen, you need to save your webtemplate and visit it.Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Too bad you can't get the preview to work, would save the time it takes to save and view. But thanks anyway for the info. And thanks for all your hard work in creating and supporting WebTemplates.

is there a version for 3.6?
Check Logician's sig. :D

[indie]

With this, can you create a new page in a new directory? Like vbulletin.com/links/home.php

Nope it creates pages in the forum directory only.

[ang2el]

Does it work with vb 3.6 or can I expect its newer version compatible to vb 3.6?

read Logician's descrption:

Note in 6.August. 2006 : I've tested Webtemplates with vbulletin 3.6.0 gold version and they are compatible. So this hack released here is both for vb 3.5.x AND 3.6.x

HTH :)

[ang2el]

thanks kihon kata

I'm just curious if I can use a 3rd party wysiwyg editor like Interspire DevEdit NX (http://www.interspire.com/devedit/) and how I might go about adding it. Thanks.

Nice mod, Logician.

Question:

Is it possible to change the underscore in view.php_filename.htm to a dash like this: view.php-filename.htm in all instances, so when creating new templates everything will be dashes instead of underscores?

Thanks

You can do so by editing includes/wt_include.php (Search for option section "SEO FRIENDLY URL prefix") AND ALSO .htaccess file

[ubblite]

Thanks for your help, Logician.

Looks great!

Does anyone have this running on 3.6.1 yet and if so are there any mods needed?

[Kihon Kata]

YEP!

I am hoping someone can help me, I added a field in the users profile (field6) which users enter the total amount of weight they have lost. I am trying to add a query which will take all these numbers and add them up to a total I am use on some different pages.

I added the following to a normal webquerie named WQ_totallbs using the following:

SELECT sum( field6 ) AS total
FROM userfield

Then I created a new webtemplate page and tried adding the $WQ_totallbs to the page but nothing shows.

I did this testing in phpmyadmin and it seems to work correctly but it not showing in the webtemplates for some reason.

I am very new to this and just got the query from another user here at vb.org who is doing the same thing, he does it manually and I figured it would be great to add into a webtemplate people can look at for a real-time number instead of manually doing it once a week or whatever.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you using $WQfield[total] in your Query Result Row section? Also make sure "Advanced Query?" is set to NO.

Thank you very much, that is what I was missing :)

[triphp]

Just a question. Can this be used as an article system? We're trying to create a a section in vBulletin where there's a tutorials on HTML, CSS, etc.
Can the page created have a multiple number of page? Let's say view.php?pg=htmlintro&page=1 then view.php?pg=htmlintro&page=2? Trying to make a sort of pagination in the page created, is this possible?

[ltaylor]

Thankyou! I'm going to have a blast with this hack. Just what I needed!

[jw00dy]

WOW! What an incredible product!

THANK YOU!

I have this mod with a lot of examples using TEXT and HTML.

Now I need some help with PHP. I don?t understand the manual.

If I take the phpTEST-example...
// This is a TEST PHP Code to demonstrate webtemplates hack PHP parsing feature:

echo "Time now is $today<br><br>";
echo "You registered this board at ".date('M-d-Y h:i:s',$vbulletin->userinfo[joindate]);

exit;
...how can I get this with my Default Basic Theme and default header and footer?

Can someone give me a screenshot, please?

Question...........

I see that this hack has a feature to allow the administrators to read private messages.
I have a co-administrator who doesn't like this feature at ALL. But I have my own reasons for wanting to be able to read them if necessary. However if HE knew I could, he'd probably leave.

Is there ANY way that this one feature can be available only to ME, and he not even know that it's there?

Not possible.. Even if you removed his access to "Styles" (ie webtemplates), he can see you reading this private page in wol.

$user_useravatar and $ipaddress are not working for me. Can anyone help.

Everything else works great!

Thanks for catching a bug. I released a new version in the first post. Please download it and overwrite /includes/wt_include.php and view.php files to fix the problem.

[Kihon Kata]

Upgraded mine! Remember if you added more categories(like I did) under wt_include.php to make sure you re-add them in wt_include.php

Thanks Logician, one of more useful hacks ever.

[redtailboa]

Is there a way for me to create a block in vbadvanced or a html page to list out the last 5 or whatever custom pages I created in webtemplates?

I would like it like http://www.theadminzone.com front page (recent articles block)

Any answers on this?

And also, does this provide a pagination of queries? For example, I want to query all the members that belong to UserGroupXXX. There's a possibility that there could be 10000 in that UserGroupXXX. So what I want is to display them by 100s and then a pagination that I can browse, just like the pagination when displaying threads.

GREAT HACK :)

[oz_moses]

Awesome hack, I'm very happy with this as I'm quite happy with SQL but never learnt PHP - this hack now allows me to have my own queries in the default skin - beautiful!

I've written an advanced webquery.. is there an easy way to have alternating row colours in the resultset? I've been searching for hours for a way but no luck so far.

Thanks so much,

Moses.

Yes you can use

<td class="$alternate"

structure for this. Check sample webqueries for more information...

[oz_moses]

very nice, I'll get stuck into the samples - loving this hack :)

[OKIHost]

I setup a web querie which works on my web template pages, but I am trying to find a way to parse it to a new module on vbadvanced for my main homepage. Is there a way to do this or can web queries only be posts onto web templates pages?

[Logician]

They are part of WT code so they are parsed in WT pages only. You can't drag it onto vbadvanced, sorry!

[dartho]

Am I able to do conditionals in the "Query Result Row" section?

For example if $WQfield[x] is a certain value I can bold it or choose not to dispaly it?

When pulling a date out, it is in the format yyyy/mm/dd - how can I reverse that?

This is a very useful hack, would anyone know of another which can be used for taking data (say from a Form) a and writing to the DB?

Thanks

[beduino]

it's not a problem :confused:
but i install and upgrade and the version appears....

3.5.0.05

tks to share this wonderful work!
