WebTemplates 3.5.x: VB Integrated CMS (Content Management System)

[farooqaaa]

Amaazzzing! MOD!!

how can we send u a donation :D:D:D (j/k) :D

[oz_moses]

There's a donation link in the admin section on your webtemplates.

Is it possible to pass a variable between a webtemplate and a webquery? I'm using webtemplates to display the Fixtures for upcoming sporting events, and will have a thread for each Fixture. I'd like to show the number of replies, views and have a link to the last post in each thread, and if I could do this it'd avoid creating 300+ almost identical webqueries.

What I'd like to do is

create a webquery called $WQ_thread_info

call this from a webtemplate, and pass a threadid at the same time, eg

$WQ_thread_info(10699)

Have the webquery run a select statement which is filtered by my threadid

eg:
select replycount, views, lastpostid from thread
where threadid = 10699

Thanks for any info you can give me,
Moses.

yes possible. Please see private message WQ as a sample and I also have some explainations in this thread.

[oz_moses]

thanks very much, I'll work on it and post it in here if you like...

[Razasharp]

yes possible. Please see private message WQ as a sample and I also have some explainations in this thread.

OMG I was going to ask the same, but thought it was a long shot.. You do realise that I love WebTemplates even more now!?

*ponders about what else I can do with this most awesome feature!*

Thanks again Sinan for the best vB hack out there!

oz_moses - yes please, do share :cool:

[NFLfbJunkie]

When adding the scheduled task "WebTemplate Visitor Logs Purge", what goes in the "VARNAME", "Description" and "Log Phrase" fields? And what product do I select in the drop down menu at the bottom schedule task page - vBullentin or Web Templates?

[Razasharp]

Mine says:

Varname: wt_clear_logs14
descrip: blank
log phrase: blank

product, I dont think it matters but prob the webtemplates one

[NFLfbJunkie]

Hey man, thanks a bunch. This mod truly rocks.

[FreshPrince]

I have a question on the installation. Item 4 of the installation says:


STEP 4- In admin cp, click Scheduled Tasks/Add New Scheduled Task/ and enter this data:
Title : WebTemplate Visitor Logs Purge
Day of the Week : *
Day of the Month : *
Hour : 3
Minute : 0
Log Entries : Yes
Filename : ./includes/cron/wt_clear_logs.php
Click Save.
(This step was for setting up the vb cron which will purge your webtemplate visit logs in certain intervals)


However it does not tell us what to put in for the fields:

Varname
Description
Log Phrase

I get the message: "Please Complete All Required Fields"

When I do not enter in those fields and I don't know what to put in them. Any ideas? Thank you.

These fields added in 3.6 version to the vbulletin hence my instructions does not cover. They are not very important. Fill them like this:

varname : wtclearlogs
description : WebTemplate Clear Logs Cron
log phrase : [LEAVE EMTPY]
Product : Logician's WebTemplates

[FreshPrince]

Thank you for such a fast reply. :)

/me is looking for download and dont see

[Razasharp]

I can see the link ok: WebTemplates 3.6.01.zip :-/

[aramik]

Now it comes up...

[Parker Clack]

In vBAdvanced you can set it up so you can "Clean the output file" so that if you include a statement like

<?
include('http://www.yourplace.html');
?>

It will allow you to use an external file in the middle of your template. I have not been able to figure out how to do this with this script. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Is There A Way To Make This So Users Can Create Their Own Page USing This?

[bada_bing]

I wish people would post what they are using this hack for and how they did it. This tool is so powerful and if all the users of the hack posted there use and code we can all share from it..

[dartho]

I've used mine primarily for making pretty much what woul otherwise be static HTML pages - in fact previous to using this hack, thats exactly what they were.

I have alse created a very basic page which return more stats for the vBookie hack vBookie - the default only listed top 5 type things.


Is There A Way To Make This So Users Can Create Their Own Page USing This?

Yes, you can give users a page to edit - just create a new webtemplate for each user, and give them editor rightd - its pretty straight forward, but would be time consuming to start with lots of users

You can just create a new WT and paste the code in there ;)

You could as explained by dartho in the post above, but it's not really designed for that.

There are lots of demo sites in the first post of this thread. Also if you google the WebTemplate copyright notice you will find lots more :)

[Razasharp]

Hi Sinan - is it possible to use if conditionals in WQs ? (I tried but it didn't work :( )

If not, I could do two seperate WQs and put the conditional in the WT, but are the queries called when 'needed' (ie if if condition calls them) or at the start of each WT that has them ticked?

Thanks, and I hope you are well!

Wow that would be cool.. Is there a way to automatically give every premium members a page to edit? Then they can create there own page.


ALso lets see some code of what all of you are doing with this hack...

[Parker Clack]

Razorsharp:

Already did that and nothing shows up.

[Razasharp]

I meant the html of the file as opposed to the include... sorry, I should have been clearer.

[Logician]

is it possible to use if conditionals in WQs ? (I tried but it didn't work :( )
It is not. But you can use PHP if conditional in the phpinclude section of the WQ.

If not, I could do two seperate WQs and put the conditional in the WT, but are the queries called when 'needed' (ie if if condition calls them) or at the start of each WT that has them ticked?
They are parsed at the start of each WT that has them ticked.

When I did my upgrade from vb3.0.7 to vb3.6.3 I also upgraded my webtemplates (as it is one of my 2 "can't live without hacks")
However, when I attempted to reach and then export my older templates as xml, I received this error

Warning: Missing argument 1 for vb_xml_builder() in /includes/class_xml.php on line 354

Fatal error: vB_XML_Builder::Registry object is not an object in /includes/class_xml.php on line 362


Please, please, help me out here.

Those older webtemplates are critical features of my site, and my users are very up in arms over their absence.

Please, please, help me out here.

I haven't tested the migration (import) section in 3.6.3. If you can give me vb admin cp access, phpmyadmin access and FTP access, I believe I can fix this for you.

[Razasharp]

carpefile - I am assuming the old templates are now showing on the 'new' 3.6.3 admin cp? And that the old templates are not working?

If so I would rename them to say templateName-old and then create new templates with just templateName and copy and paste the code from the old templates into them. Same with the WQs if needed.

Nost sure if that is what you need tho?

Sinan - thanks for the reply, it was something in the actual Query Result Row that I wanted to change... could possibly do it if I can call a '$WQfield[fieldhere]' in the phpclude after and assign it a variable that I then call in the GRR tho... (basically wanted to 'not' show part of the QRR to guests). I will give it a go and see what happens..

[carpefile]

Thank you, Logician. I've pm'ed the requested access to you. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help you help me. :)

Razasharp- the older templates don't show in my admincp webtemplates at all.
Thank you for the help, none the less.:)

[Razasharp]

Ah right.. I see Logicians on the case now. But if you need them back in a hurry, you could create a test forum with a back up of the DB before the upgrade, and copy them from that... :)

[Coach_Guru]

The generated pages have a nofollow attribute.

[GofD]

Please forgive if I'm misusing this thread, I'm somewhat new to Vbulletin in general and the .org side in particular, so I'm I'm violating accepted usage mea culpa! I blame my 4 & 5 year olds who are currently asking me what a session variable *is*;).

Anyway, I'm looking for a way to leverage vB's authentication system in a new version of our site that I'm working on. We're using Dreamweaver with InteraKt extensions (got the full suite just before Adobe bought them out), and will be doing a lot of picture uploads to member specific sub directories to allow the members to create a "pool" of pictures that they can use to create articles for our site etc.

Can pages created using webtemplates reference and use includes located in the root web directory? In other words, can I use all the functionality of my Dreamweaver extensions WITHIN a WebTemplates page? Would it be as simple as composing a .php page with Dreamweaver and then copy/pasting the code into WebTemplates and then setting permissions etc in the Admin CP? That would just be my dream come true at this point. I'm not entirely sure I understand the basic functioning of WebTemplates but it sounds like that might be possible? The main thing I need is to be able to restict access to my pages based on vB's authentication and pull username and primary group memberid out of either a session variable or cookie for use within my code.

If WebTemplates isn't likely to be a good fit for me, can anyone point me in the right direction? Pretty please?

Thanks in advance for any assistance/explanation you can provide!

[Logician]

Would it be as simple as composing a .php page with Dreamweaver and then copy/pasting the code into WebTemplates and then setting permissions etc in the Admin CP?
WT can be used in the way you described but this will protect only your page content (HTML). So if this page includes some pictures/attachments etc. which only members should download, WT can not help you as it does not protect a file or directory. (Well people can not see the file link if they can't see the WT it includes but in this scenario you can not protect your file links distributed with other sources like email, PM, MSN etc.)

The main thing I need is to be able to restict access to my pages based on vB's authentication and pull username and primary group memberid out of either a session variable or cookie for use within my code.

This is what WT does anyway.

Question, I am having difficulty adding some Vbadvanced templates to my WebTemplates.

Here is the page I created with WebTemplates: http://www.usandworldpolitics.com/forum/view.php?pg=webrings


I am trying to add in the "recent threads" template you see on the front page: http://www.usandworldpolitics.com/


I entered into the field called "Included VB Templates" these: adv_portal_latesttopicbits, adv_portal_latestthreads_head

Into the field called "PHP Include" I put in this: latesttopics.php


However it still doesn't work. Help please. :(


WEB

[Razasharp]

This hack is nothing to do with vbAdvanced, which is a totally seperate system.

I'm not really sure what you are trying to do tbh.

[FreshPrince]

I have a page (listed above) that has webrings on it. However, on that page I would also like to put a "recent threads" module on it as well. That way, if someone is looking at the webrings page, they see what people are talking about on the forum too. It makes it look better, and it makes it look less like that webring webtemplate has not been shoved into some dark corner of the forum.

So, on the forum with the webrings: http://www.usandworldpolitics.com/forum/view.php?pg=webrings


I also want to add in the module that lists the most recently active threads on the forum.

I want to add this module:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2006/11/6.jpg

into the webring webtemplate I linked to above.

Thank you.


WEB

[FreshPrince]

You can see an example of what I am talking about on this forum: http://jpicforum.info/?forums=webring


The webmaster has put a recent threads module into another section on her forum (what I presume to be WebTemplates). I want to put a recent threads module onto my WebTemplates page. Thanks. :)

That pages uses vBadvanced CMPS.

However there is already a latest threads webQuery already installed in WebTemplates as a demo. There should be reference to it in the help files.

[FreshPrince]

That pages uses vBadvanced CMPS.

Let me ask you a question there. I know vBadvanced is not your specialty but maybe you know. It is possible to use vBadvanced to create two webpages? No, right? I already use vBadvanced for my forum front page, so I probably can't use it for a second totally different page, or can I?

[FreshPrince]

http://www.usandworldpolitics.com/forum/view.php?pg=test2


The only thing I don't get is that it says from "Forum 2." How can I can I change the Webtemplate code to get it to take data from the forums where people are actually posting and not "Forum 2?"

Thank you. :)

Yes I think vbadvanced lets you have additional pages. Refer to their help guides for more info.

Thank you. :)


In that template you will see a call to a WQ_query_name_here

Then find that query, click on edit, and in there towards the top there is a select query. You should be able to change the forums you want it to call from in there. I haven't got access to my ACP at the moment so that is all from memory. If you read the help guides it will also help you understand how webtemplates and web queries work together :)

[Razasharp]

what forums do you want it to show from? or all of them?

[FreshPrince]

what forums do you want it to show from? or all of them?

Yes, all of them. Except for the private and moderator forums of course.

:)

[FreshPrince]

In my admin panel, I clicked on "WebQueries" and saw under option 3:

3- $WQ_last10threadfromforum2
Gets last 10 threads title/author/date from forum 2 [edit] [remove]

I clicked on edit, here's what it says in the "Query" box:


SELECT threadid, title, postusername,postuserid,dateline
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread
WHERE sticky=0 AND visible=1 AND forumid=2
ORDER BY dateline DESC
LIMIT 10

So, if I wanted to take threads from all my forums (except for the private forums and moderator forums) what should I change in there?

Thanks


WEB

[Razasharp]

try this:

SELECT threadid, title, postusername,postuserid,dateline
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread
WHERE sticky=0 AND visible=1
ORDER BY dateline DESC
LIMIT 10

[FreshPrince]

I think I got it figured out now. Thanks for your help.

One note I would like to make is that I got caught up for a while with one problem. That's basically that you can put in the webquery code (i.e. $WQ_last10thread ) into the webtemplate, however it will do nothing unless you also go into the admin cp and then go into the section "Logician's WebTemplates" then into the "WebTemplates" edit the templates that you want and CHECK OFF the queries that you want to enable in that template. I'll take a picture of it with my photoshop program to fully illustrate my meaning later.

This is just something you probably want to tell noobs, like myself, as it did hold me up for a while.

Thanks again.

WEB

[Razasharp]

Glad you got it sorted :)

Yes, you need to check the box for the WQs you want to use with that particular WT ;)

I have a problem :cool:

I have links like <a href="#1"></a> goes to <a name="1"></a> on each custom page.

But the link to the Forums will be postet in front of #1 without the pagenumber and it doesn't work. Like Linktosite/forums#1.

How can i do this ? :D

Thx.

Sorry for the double post, but now I'm just confused. Can anybody make this? I'm nearly beside myself.

I'd like it to be four things. The name of the forum the post is in with a link to the forum (like it is on my homepage). The name of the thread linking to the newest post. The name of the poster linked to them. The date the latest post was made.

Currently on my front page, it lists it as the latest threads created, not posts made. Can anyone help with this?

Thankyou very much for helping me but there is still one more thing I would like for it to do...

Instead of having the author of the thread being shown, is there a way to put the username of the last person to post in the thread? And then have the thread name link to the latest post?

I would like to uninstall this product because I need to change some things. The FAQs say:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Select "uninstall" in Product Manager and it will automatically uninstall. Uninstalling does not remove database tables so that your custom webtemplates will not be lost when you reinstall. If you want to delete database records too run this query :
DROP TABLE `wt35_query`, `wt35_theme`, `wt35_visitlog`, `wt35_webtemplate`;
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But, where do i find the "Product Manager"? I don't see this anywhere. Any help is greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Sorry, I haven't been here in a while...I figured it out. To uninstall, log into your admin panel in vb, click on "Plugin System" > "Manage Products" and then select "uninstall" and GO. :)

This very slick, Logician - thanks!

Hey team - is there a good online resource for sample queries that have been posted? Would save a lot of time for many of us.

[ldsfiles]

When I first installed Webtemplates, I wanted to figure out how to change the location of the view.php pages so that I could have a site that looked like this to the end users:

www.delicto.com/finance (instead of http://www.delicto.com/vb/view.php?pg=finance_main)

Here's what I did.

1 - On my server, I created a PHP page called www.delicto.com/finance/index.php

2 - On that page I inserted this code:

<base href=http://delicto.com/vb/>
<?php
include("http://www.delicto.com/vb/view.php?pg=finance_main");
?>


This just uses the "include" feature of PHP to pull the content of that individual page into the desired location.

Not very elegant, because I'll have to set up each page that way (I hate it when things aren't dynamic) but it gets the job done. Hopefully this will help someone else too.

And, as alwyas, if anyone has other ideas of how to do it better, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!

I'm in the process of upgrading my forums, and this hack, (3.5.4 ==> 3.6.4) but it's not going so well. I've searched in this thread for others that may have had "upgrade" problems, but i seem virtually alone ... :cry:

The old template(s) shows up in the acp but when i click to view it, it says page not found. Of course i can't go directly to it either. I tried this fix (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1118628&postcount=529), renaming them and such, but the results are the same.

Any suggestions?

I am an absolute Newbie and struggling. I have a simple vB running very well (latest release) and wish to add a simple "web site" on the same server containing some html pages which link to pdf files. I want to control access to the "web site" using vB, so that only registered users get access.

Is it possible to convert the existing html web pages into "webtemplates" and get the whole of my existing website working in vB?
Ideally I want to upload the web site with its files (about 250mb) and the whol lot be automatically converted so it can work under vB (with vB controlled access rights).

Regards,
mike

[jluerken]

HI Mike the mix,

you can implement a lot into a running vBulletin but answering your question in details is hard without knowing your page.

An automatic process to create a template out of an html page does not exist, you have to do it manually!

[mike the mix]

Hi thanks for your reply.
If I make a manual translation of my html pages to templates, can these still link to pdf files OK?
Where will I need to upload these template and pdf files? Can this be handled automatically for large numbers of files or can i do it with FTP?

Can i create the templates by cutting and pasting from each HTML page including its many HTML links to the pdf files?

Regards,
Mike

PS I am happy to send you details of the web site and admin details by PM so you can see what I am trying to do...

[jluerken]

Mike the mix its like I said, nobody here can answer your question with a general YES or NO.
I am sure it depends on the html pages you have if they can be displayed correctly or not.

You can transfer your .pdf files via ftp to any locations you want.
Link that you generate in the CMS are the same like in normal .html files.

Why not simply give it a try? Install the hack and work with it.
Include some of your pages and check if its working for you or not.
Bringing content from one system to another does also mean you have to spend time and that you have to do work.
There is no automatic process that does it for you. The only automatic process that I know in this area is called "manpower" and that does mean that you have to pay someone else doing it for you :D

What you wanted sounds possible with Webtemplates to me.

If you want to keep the existing design of your HTML pages, just open them in IE, click "view source" and paste the source code into a webtemplate.

If you want them to inherit "vb look" (header/footer/logo/colors etc.), then you have to manually adjust their HTML codes while pasting them into webtemplates.

They can link PDF files and since the page is protected with vb permissions, people can not reach your PDF links in these pages without proper permissions. However please note that when somebody access it, he can always share the PDF link with other people who do not have permission. In other words, Webtemplate protects your page content (in which PDF links are displayed to users) with vb permissions, NOT your pdf files itself.

1- Forum URL in vb settings is correct.
2- Disable SEO friendly URL option and try again.
3- Make sure you configured SEO friendly URL hack correctly (and uploaded the .htaccess file)

Last weekend we upgraded our board from 3.5.2 > 3.6.4
We were using WebTemplates 3.5.05 and now we upgraded to 3.6.01

All went fine, only when I try to export our webtemplates, I get the following error:

Warning: Missing argument 1 for vb_xml_builder() in /includes/class_xml.php on line 354

Fatal error: vB_XML_Builder::Registry object is not an object in /includes/class_xml.php on line 362

(don't know if we had this error before, because I never exported the templates before)
How can I fix this?

Also I noticed the version info in the XML file still says <version>3.5.0.05</version> ? Should be 3.6.01... or?

[Logician]

I have not built such a form, but I believe it can be done. I recall I implemented the php_include_before sections into the hack so that such functionality can be available if needed. (as you might like to clean out the incoming variable before applying to UPDATE query etc.). But since I didn't do it myself, I can't assure it can be done. Some practical problems can occur which are not visible in theory. I'd say, give it a shot and see. :)

[Icehawk002]

I would like to add the feature seen at the top of this thread for example where by a visitor is asked to rate (something, in this case WebTemplates Mod - Excellent :)) and then the rating is adjusted accordingly.

Basically I want visitors to rate different webtemplates or rather the contents of the Template - Any ideas?

[Logician]

I think there is a problem in the export/import section of the hack for vb 3.6.x version (only in that version!). It still works fine with vb 3.6.x but import/export webtemplate feature can give an error. I don't use 3.6.x myself but I'll still look into it. Yet I couldn't find time to deal with it yet, so please bear with me. I believe I'll fix it in a few weeks..

Hi,

Am I correct in assuming that the page name will always be prefixed with 'view'

I have been trying to find something (very similar to what you have created) that would enable me to create webtemplates but specify a specific path.

eg rather than

In the wt_include.php (and .htaccess file), you can change "view" part with anything you like and if you want you can make it something shorter but you have to use a prefix anyway

A small question (couldn't find answer after searching):

Would I be able to create a webtemplate that include the login box and then when the user login, it will show them different content based on their usergroup.

This page does not have to use VB template. I know I can use if conditions to display different content, i'm just not sure how to include the login box in the webtemplate.

This is an amazing mod.

Yes you can use vb conditionals to display different content depending on visitor's usergroup

Thanks for the response.

My main concern is the login box. I would like to have a seperate part of my website where the users login, got customized messages based on their usergroup (this I know I will use conditions).

This page does not have to contain any VB forum component. Just a plain page, login box, admin login, and message content.

Would you be able to point me to a template that does this ?

Have you installed the hack and played with it? Actually its whole point is to do what you want. ;) You don't have to deal with login boxes yourself, you just set WT's permission as "guests can not see" so when a guest visits the page, he automatically gets "no permission page" with a login box and when he logins, he gets the content. Please play with the test templates for a while, I guess you'll understand the concept better.

[Quantnet]

Thanks Logican
I have installed and get the test pages to display correctly but i guess I haven't played it long enough to still ask these questions.

Actually, my original intention was somewhat different https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=137910

I found your mod accidentally and just realized it can do the application checking status using your mod and set different message based on usergroup. Quite happy.

I'll play some more.

First allow guests to see that WT. Then set a vb conditional in WT:
<if condition="!$bbuserinfo[userid]">

Put your simple form here and make it HTTP post to vb login.php

<else />

Your regular content..
</if>

[Quantnet]

Thumbs up. Thanks..

Now only if i know how to make it HTTP post to vb login.php

Why do you run wt_upgrade.php? It is for upgrading your webtemplates from 3.0.x to 3.5.x. You don't have to run it unless you do this. If you moved from 3.5.x to 3.6.x, you don't have to do anything, WT will keep working.

Don't mind the version numbers much if you downloaded the latest script from this thread while upgrading.

The version in this thread will work with 3.5.x and 3.6.x but it has a minor glitch in 3.6.x regarding "wt export" section. I'll release a fixed 3.6.x version soon in 3.6.x hacks section and I believe this will also cure the confusion some people are having when they find this hack under 3.5.x category.

But until I do that, you are fine. WT you downloaded from here will work flawlessly in your 3.6.x vbulletin. Just don't attempt to export your existing webtemplates for now. :)

[dcpaq2xx]

I dont think you understand.

Im not at all confused about what versions work with what version of vbulletin.

All I wanted to do was upgrade my version of Web templates because I thought that there was a newer version from what I currently have installed.

3.6.01 vs 3.5.0.05

I have done a file and database restore to my board and Im back to where I was, no biggie, ill just continue to use the version I have installed as it seems to work fine for what im going to do with it.

So you downloaded the latest hack from this thread and installed it. Do you see 3.6.01 in the footer of your webtemplates? If so you are ok. The version number in the product manager section is irrelevant. What it matters is version number in the footer.

Hi!

I have got a new question:
I use $WQ_last10threadfromforum2 to show some threads.

I included the table "forum" to show the forum name.
SELECT thread.threadid, thread.title as threadtitle, thread.postusername,thread.postuserid,thread.datel ine,forum.title,forum.forumid, forum.parentid

FROM thread
LEFT JOIN forum
ON (thread.forumid = forum.forumid)
Showing the forumname just works fine with "title"

Now I wanted to show the names of one parent forum, too.

First I tried it with "parentid" and "title" but it did not show me the name of the parent forum, it just showed me the name of the forum where the thread is.

After that did not work I tried it like that:

<td class="$alternate" WIDTH="12%" VALIGN="TOP" NOWRAP><div class="smallfont">

<if condition="$WQfield[forumid]=='40'">
<a href='forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$WQfield[forumid]'>
BLA</a>
</if>
<if condition="$WQfield[forumid]=='38'">
<a href='forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$WQfield[forumid]'>
BLUB</a></if>
<else>
<a href='forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$WQfield[forumid]'>
Bla2</a></else>

</div></td>

That did not work, too.

I hope you understand my problem. I am not good at coding. Please help me if you are able to.

Ok, I'm undecided now between this product and vbArticles by Mary (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=136196).

WebTemplates is free and been around longer, but Mary's product looks snazzier. Has anyone looked at both offerings?

Thanks.

[Sam1985]

Hey Logician,

This is a flawless mod. I love it!! this will be a keeper!

Only question I have is how do I create categories besides "Your Custom Pages" and "Default WebTemplates"

I'm a total noob:p

Thanks

[Logician]

Please check 1.3.1.3 section in manual

[Sam1985]

Thanks it worked.
It's beautiful!

Any chance of making a search or releasing a code for that?

[aacircle]

Simple question. Are members able to reply to articles placed into the system? Otherwise I think vBa Blogicles may be the better alternative at http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?p=105492.

Any news on how to make the page in certain style id? Example above doesnt work.


Thank you!!!!

[bulbasnore]

set a vb conditional in WT:

Hey yah, just noticed that is a generalized workaround (with no PHP file hacking) to the issue of the WT restriction or 'negative permissions', i.e. the fact that WT specifies groups/IDs who CANT see the page. Its difficult for us because we've leaned heavily on vB's positive permissions capability to assign multiple groups so that we give fine-grained permission to our site.

Here's what I did --


$header
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6, 7, 8)">
$WQ_secretinfo
<else />
You should not have come here, $bbuserinfo[username]!
</if>
$footer

The above shows the web-query result to members of groups 6,7,8. It shows a personalized "go away" message to everyone else.

I suppose you could enclose your entire page in the conditional so that only the specified group(s) could see it. Since you're giving (or denying) permission at the page level in vb (as opposed to element level) I guess this works pretty generally to convert WT permissions. Comments/corrections?

Logician -- I'm so very grateful for your add-on and your support of it!

I put the logout code in the template. This will use the vbulletin standard logout where it will display the message "Return to index page or the last view page"

Is there a way i can specify a site that after the member logout will be directed to ?

Thanks

[markp_2000]

Excellent mod.

How would one use the vB's internal ajax to tap into a add-on database and edit those fields?

Which $ variable I can use to display the last updated time of a user profile, either by himself or by the admin.

For example, when the admin move the user from usergroup X to usergroup B, I'd like to display the time when the admin made the usergroup move for the user.

There is no such variable. Neither in WT nor in vb.

thanks, Logician,

I decided to do without.

Hi Logician,

Do you have any plans to improve this mod?

[Megadeuce]

I'm sorry if someone has asked this already but I've noticed on the sites that this mod was installed on, let's say the leatherneck site, that I cannot find the link to click on that site to get to the about us page.

My question is, once you create a page, how to you get a link to diplay is a specific place on your VB forum?

You can:

1- Create your webtemplates link yourself manually in certain locations like navbar.
2- Put your webtemplates link an other webtemplate or site main page
3- Hack has already comes with a default webtemplate, which automatically compiles the list of your webtemplates created in a special group.

[Megadeuce]

Thank you for this great hack. I like that it comes with the default template with automatic list of webtemplates, but I will need a link in a navbar. Is this easily done, or is this another hack?

[Logician]

You can edit template named "navbar" and add any link there:

Admin cp/styles&templates/style manager/(Expand Templates)/Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates/navbar (edit)

Logician,

I have created a webtemplate where member can log in and have a different message displayed depends on which usergroup the member belongs to.

i have a small question, I don't know why the even though the page displays fine, the hourglass on the cursor seems to loads forever....

It's like something is still loading....

It looks like that. I haven't tested it with php5 before. If everything else seems to work fine, changing line 59 and 60 like this MAY work:


$wt_hf = @unserialize($vbulletin->wt_hf);
$wt_themes = @unserialize($vbulletin->wt_themes);

[Deimos]

That seems to have worked aok!
Thanks

[Megadeuce]

Thanks Logician for you help. This is a nicely done and useful hack.

I see your code. Will this allow me to post this code is a specific forum instead of all forums?

[Pocket Aces]

Nice hack. So far it works well on vb 3.6.5.

By the way, how do i remove the page stats on footer (ie. page visitors, last visitor, page created, etc.)?

[Dennen]

how do we add meta tags to the index page of this

I would want to use the $WQ_last10threadfromforum2 query with multiple forums. So that I could take last 10 threads from forum id:s 1,2,34,5 for example.

Is this possible?

[Kasey]

hrrrmmm feeling really stupid here....(no blonde jokes please:o )

But when I tried to install.....and I got to the Step 3 on the Installation read me file....My VB ADMINCP didnt seem to be the same as what is being described. And when I tried to import the file "webplate_export.xml" I gt an Invalid File error.



Any thoughts?


I'm on vb 3.6.5

[lazserus]

I would back track and make sure you didn't skip any steps. Once all the files are uploaded to your server be sure you've imported the products-webtemplates.xml. The instructions aren't exactly accurate, so unless you're completely familiar with vB and all the options, I can see how it would be easy to miss. You import that by going to Plugins & Products > Product Manager > Add/Import Product. If you don't import that file then you won't see any of the Webtemplates options in your Admin CP. If you don't see the Webtemplates option then that means you're attempting to upload the webtemplates_export.xml to the wrong place. If that's the case then you'd definitely get an error when importing.

Back track and follow the instructions, but replace the info "Login Admin CP/Product Manager/Add-Import Product/ -> Import the file named 'product-webtemplates.xml'" with the path I've provided above in bold. You won't be able to upload webtemplates_export.xml until you've imported products-webtemplates.xml, because you need to import the export.xml using the Webtemplates options.

Hope that helps. If that doesn't, then maybe you could elaborate more on your problem.

[Kasey]

<font color="blue">I had found the 1st imported file but it had loaded under the vb options-->a listing on the right...(as opposed to the instruction alluding to they would be in the menu system to the left)....and I could open that up but it did not give me the option to import there as the instructions suggest rather .....the import is down in the plug ins as you said....that is where I had attempted to import the 2nd file and received the invalid error.</font>

[Logician]

If you can't handle it and don't mind me giving admincp access, I can take a look.

[Kasey]

yes please, if you can...


again I seem to be stuck on Step 3, the loading of the 2nd .xml file.

[Kasey]

Wooohoooo!!!!!(( (_/_) (_|_) (_\_) )) (doin' da happy dance wiggle!)



Thank you for the assistance Logician!!!!!!

[lazserus]

Sounds to me you were trying to upload the 2nd file in the wrong place. It had to be imported through Webtemplate options, not vBulletin's Plugin/Product importing area. But, looks like you've been taken care of!

[Devile]

There's a security problem with this mod. If u have it, better disable it til the author fixes it.

[Kihon Kata]

There's a security problem with this mod. If u have it, better disable it til the author fixes it.
Ok, I'm disabling right away.

NOT, this is a great mod.

[Logician]

IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX:

If you are using Webtemplates version 3.5.x or 3.6.00 or 3.6.01, please upload the attached 2 files into your server which fixes a security problem in the hack.

File wt_include.php should be uploaded to /includes/ folder.
File view.php should be uploaded to default forum folder (where showthread.php exists).

After the upload your webtemplate footer should say "version 3.6.02".

This is a quick fix for a security problem which is reported to me yesterday (Thanks to Devile!) and I'll update this thread and the hack if I further develop the patch algorithm.

If you have downloaded the hack ZIP file in the first post after this message of me, you already get the patched 3.6.02 version. If you are using old webtemplates for vbulletin 3.0.x, you don't have to apply any patches.

[Kihon Kata]

updated mine

Thanks Logician.

Thanks a lot Logican appreciated on the quick fix...

Just a quicky

I have a few uncached templates, I have used this since 3.5 version and not upgraded anything other than the forum to the latest version, these are the uncached

Uncached templates:

Web Templates 3.5x or vBadvanced CMPS (http://www.vbadvanced.com/products.php?do=productinfo&p=4)? I am looking at using one for vB 3.6.5 along with Zoints (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=130946) and NuWiki (http://www.nuhit.com/nuwiki/features.html), and I am open to any opinions about which CMS mod is better. We will have 5-6 staffers at launch, so I am mostly concerned with user friendliness and stability.

Thanks!

[ipears]

I am in a similar position as tminus... and have a hard time making a decision.

Any recommendations?

[Logician]

vbadvanced's main focus is your site main page. Webtemplates main focus is your site's other pages like "about us", "donate to us", our press existence" etc.

So I don't think you have to choose one between these two. If you want to create a vb powered site home page, you should go with vbadvanced and if you want to create vb powered other site pages, you have to go with Webtemplates. If you want to do both, you can use both too.

So why don't you just install both and try each of them, then decide? Both are free and both are quite easy to install or uninstall.

[Fireproof]

This looks outstanding and exactly what I was looking for! Can't wait to try it out this weekend.

I'm brand new to vBulletin - do you have any slick ways or recommendations for creating menus to link to a bunch of pages?

I am testing both but I was just looking for some kind of comparison. Wasn't trying to bug you Logician, but thanks for response!:) Searching wasn't coming up with any results, mainly because "Web Template" obviously produces all kinds of other results. Anyways, I hadn't thought of using both. To be honest, I have been more impressed with the Web Templates 3.5x sample sites. Leatherneck.com has a nice look to it. So I will go install both and see whats up.

Any other passionate WT3.5x or vBadvanced CMPS users please let us know what you think. Any conflicts with having both installed? Which one handles what the best? etc. So I get them installed and start using them, but having some discussion about both will help me and others use them more effectively. Thanks!

[EWGF]

vbadvanced's main focus is your site main page. Webtemplates main focus is your site's other pages like "about us", "donate to us", our press existence" etc.
Actually, it is possible to empower your other pages with VBA too. But I think this is an easier way.


Personally, I just like those modules, so I've chosen VBA myself.

My PHP parse method versions of my webtemplates died :( Basically my webtemplates work just fine except when I select the PHP parse method, then they don't. I have no idea why.

Why is this mod marked unsupported? It seems like it is quite supported to me. Can anyone explain?

[Logician]

Why is this mod marked unsupported? It seems like it is quite supported to me. Can anyone explain?
I have way a lot of hacks (most of them are old now but still) and if you check them, all of them are marked as unsupported and this is intentional. As a matter of fact, I do my BEST to give support for all of them, I deal with ALL security related issues (if any), ALL major bugs (if any), MOST of the minor bugs (if any) and reply a lot of questions but I don't like to "make promises" like giving support because this disappoints people if they can't get a reply for a question and I can't promise to answer ALL questions at all times.

So my personal preferrance is to mark my hacks as "unsupported" but then give as much support as I can afford with my time. And this is usually, for the most times and hopefully "a very good support". ;)

[Hicksatpd]

I've installed this before and it worked great BUT,

I had to reinstall it after the forum had to be reinstalled, and this time I'm having issues. When I try to create an HTML template, it does not display my forum's top (banner, navbar, surrounding color) or bottom (including the helpful box that usually appears telling admins how many have viewed, who's viewing, who's allowed to view, etc).

It just displays whatever HTML code I plug in, nothing more or less. Before, if I did this it worked just fine (keeping all of the forum stuff). What am I doing wrong this time? Or what changed?

[Logician]

If you mean where it says: "Using a Theme?", I have no options in the drop-down menu aside from the one that says: "No Parent Template (This is an independent web template)". This is despite the fact that along with the default vBulletin theme, we mainly use a second theme I created based off the default. I don't understand why they're not being detected.

Yes this is what I meant. You are suppose to have some default themes there which come with the installation. Have you applied installation step 3? You may want to repeat it to install the default webtemplates, themes, headers and footers.

[Hicksatpd]

There we go. :) Step 3 must have been accidentally skipped this time around for some reason. Thanks for your help!

[Saviour]

This has probably been answered before, but I really don't feel like searching 48 pages of posts in order to find it...yes...you can call me "lazy".

Anyway...I want to shout out "Kudos"! I love this hack!

Here's my problem...

I've created some templates I'm going to use as a resources directory. I've parsed the text as HTML.

I've updated the .htaccess file in the root of my forum's directory. I'm linking to these pages (within the templates) using links like the one below:

http://www.saviour-pc.com/forums/view_resources.htm

I have two skins...the vbDefault Style and a Smooth Fluid Style. The templates show up fine in each skin, however, if I try to switch skins while on one of the template pages...it's a "no go". So if you visit the above link and scroll down to the bottom and try to switch styles...you'll see waht I mean.

I know I'm doing something wrong...what am I missing?

Update: Never mind...I found the answer in the last few paragraphs of the manual...DUH!

You have to play with webtemplates themes to modify that part. I'm not sure which theme you are using for that webtemplate but if you modify both "Default Basic Theme" and "Two Column Theme", you'll be fine. :)

Can it be that you set guests permission as "can not see forum"? If this is the case, vbulletin (which runs before webtemplates kicks in) might be stoping them.

I believe it is about the style you are using. It can be an unclosed HTML tag, a wrong HTML syntax etc. (Especially in header/footer templates). Also please make sure you use the default WTs and WT themes for your initial tests, then start customizing them if you do any such changes.

[ChrisBaktis]

This is happening in an unaltered default vb style also - same thing - goes 100% across and loses the white background.

How do I edit the Powered by text? I don't mind having a copy right notice but I don't think people need to know what versions I'm using.

[ChrisBaktis]

I just installed the latest version on a fresh board..

Is there a way to get it to show the page name instead of 'Unknown Location' with who's online? The link works fine - just the name doesnt show.

[HotRodGyrl]

I'd just like to say that I uploaded this and read the instructions and all the information with it and it's the easiest explanation and easiest doing that this newbie has ever seen.

I give it two thumbs up for anyone new and old....

Receiving the following error, while trying to export templates to xml (to port from my test site to live site)

Warning: Missing argument 1 for vb_xml_builder() in /includes/class_xml.php on line 465

Fatal error: vB_XML_Builder::Registry object is not an object in /includes/class_xml.php on line 473

Any suggestions? I assume I did something wrong...

Noticed that this is being worked on, let me know if it gets fixed... BTW, awesome Hack!!! Best mod I have installed...

Although this hacks works fine with vb 3.6.x, there is only one small glitch it has in 3.6.x versions and this is the one you pointed out. It has problems exporting existing templates in 3.6.x.

I fixed the problem but can't find time to release the new hack for weeks, so actually it is my fault that this minor glitch is still there. Sorry about it!

To get rid of it, please make this small change:

Edit file admincp/wt_export.php and find line:


$xml = new XMLexporter();



Replace it as:

$xml = new vB_XML_Builder($vbulletin);


This should fix the problem.

[bulbasnore]

Logician, thanks for the info on the export glitch and also for keeping up this hack. I'm trying to upload a wt for PaulM's proxy to real ip hack (a report of last 30 days of proxy users).

When you do release the new version, can you update the product XML with the new version number, too, please. I redid the install a few times, expecting 3.6.0.02 and seeing 3.5.0.05

Hello
I suppose this is probably something small, but I havent found a solution yet.
I have links set up in my forum that link to my WebTemplates pages. However, when I click them it opens it in a new window! I want 'internal' links that are for my site to open in the same window. I want only external links to open up to a new browswer window. Is this possible? Thank you!!

[franzis]

Hi Logician,

do you also have a german version of this product?

Hi Logician,

Sorry I can't speak German hence nope..

[toucan42]

I did a search for "count" and "iterate" on this mod and found nothing (can't handle going through 50 pages of posts) so I will ask my question:

I want to create a page that displays the results of a query in three columns. This means I need code within the query that iterates the records and keeps count - when it reaches three it will end a table row then start a new row.

how can i add code for a multiline recordset such that I can keep a counter as the records are returned?

Logician, can you please help me with this? Thank you!
This question is really nothing to do with the hack. What kind of links did you put into your forum. If you put links within your templates, you have to configure your link HTML code. Eg. if you put

<a href='view_aboutus.htm' target='_blank'>About Us</a>

You have to remove target part and make it:
<a href='view_aboutus.htm'>About Us</a>

If your links are within your forum messages, your vb settings (for 3.6.x) decide how they open. You have to change the relevant setting in vb admin cp/vb settings section.
