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

[Logician]

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?
I wouldn't think it is possible.

[toucan42]

Yeah that's what I am encountering though I may have a method that uses CSS instead of tables for the layout.

Thank you for this awesome hack - this is going to enable so many things for my site.

[tunamix]

Great job with this mod.
Thank you!

[da prez]

does anyone have some created web queries they wouldn't mind sharing ?

thanks

[RollaJedi]

i solved my problems and just want to say thank you to Logician for this great mod!

[toucan42]

I have a question - I am running a web query against a custom table for which many columns are NULL allowed. When I am looping the recordset in the WebQuery it seems that as soon as I encounter a NULL it stops processing that record.

Say my query is:

SELECT field1,field2,field3 FROM sometable WHERE condition = somecondition

in the WebQuery Query Result Row I am assigning the values of fields 1,2 and 3 to a string to be output to the screen:

var someString = '$WQfield[field1]' + ' some words ' + '$WQfield[field2]' + ' more words ' + '$WQfield[field3]'

If field2 is NULL - a valid data condition - field3 never shows up

Not sure if you have a tip on how to preserve NULL but also how to handle it within the WebQuery Query Result Row window?

[toucan42]

I am trying to format the output so that ONLY IF there is a 'dept', it will print out.
I tried putting code in the query output area as well as at the main page template.


$WQfield[name]<br/>
<if condition="$WQfield['dept']">
$WQfield[dept]<br/>
</if>



Thanks! :)



This question earlier may apply - how can you test the condition of the return set for a field?

[kollam003]

Installed and works like a charm , you have very well explained for even a newbie would do it professionally .

Maybe there should be a repository somewhere?

Here is one that I have implemented which appears at the bottom of an article page written in LWT. The idea is to provide readers with snippets of comments made about the page they have just read, plus a visible link to a specific thread in the forum to read fully or add comments of their own. It displays a collapsable table containing the last 3 comments to the specific thread specified in the query. Text from each post is truncated at 500 characters. If there are no replies to the specified threadid, then the table content reverts to a generic "Be the first to add a comment" style.

Query name: $WQ_comments_sometitle
Advanced Query?: Yes
Description: Displays information about comments for this page.

Query: (Required ThreadID is hard-coded in the WHERE clause) select thr.threadid AS threadid, pst.title AS title, thr.firstpostid AS firstpostid, thr.replycount AS replycount, thr.views AS views, pst.postid AS postid, usr.username AS username, pst.dateline AS dateline, pst.userid AS userid, LEFT(pst.pagetext, 500) AS pagetext FROM thread AS thr LEFT JOIN post AS pst ON(thr.threadid = pst.threadid) LEFT JOIN user AS usr ON(usr.userid = pst.userid) WHERE thr.threadid = 0000 AND pst.postid <> thr.firstpostid ORDER BY pst.postid DESC LIMIT 3

Query PHPInclude Code (Before): (Required ThreadID is hard-coded in the WHERE clause) $queryfirstpostid = $db->query_first("SELECT firstpostid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread WHERE threadid = 0000");
$firstpostid = $queryfirstpostid[firstpostid];
The above PHPInclude provides the WebQuery with a variable [$firstpostid], which contains the first post id of the required thread. This variable is consumed in the 'Query No Results Row' which forms part of the link to the thread reply editor screen. (Many thanks to Logican for input on this).

Result Prefix Code: <div style="padding-bottom:15px">
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" class="tborder" width="75%">
<thead>
<tr><td class="tcat"><a href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('mysite_comments_module')" style="float:right"><img alt="" border="0" id="collapseimg_mysite_comments_module" src="images/buttons/collapse_tcat.gif" /></a>

Result Affix Code: </tbody>
</table>
</div>
Query No Result Row: <tr><td class="alt2"><span class="smallfont">Be the first to <a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=$firstpostid" target="_blank" title="[click here to add your comment now]">Add</a> a comment.</span></td></tr>
BB Code Parsed Field Names: pagetext (can be omitted if your template is 'text parsed')
Date Parsed Field Names: dateline

[Note: If your template is 'text parsed' please ensure that the HTML shown above contains NO line breaks. This would be interpreted and a hard break added to each line with a <br/> HTML code. This will make the formatting look very strange]


** edit - see below **
The only caveat in the above configuration is the hard-coded id in the Query No Result Row. This is required because the LWT does not parse field result values in anything other than the Query Result Row. If the LWT could parse field values in Result Prefix Code, Result Affix Code and Query No Result Row, it would be utterly fantastic!

@Logican, is my above enhancement suggestion something that you may be planning for a furture version?

** Update **
Text in grey (above) is no longer relevant due to Logican's input. The example has now been enhanced to incorporate suggested php pre-query. Thanks Logican!

Anyway, I hope this gives an idea of what can be done. I am really just starting to learn certain aspects of the LWT, and it helps in learning mySQL syntax too, which is a plus! LWT rocks! :up:

I've just downloaded the latest product, overwrote files and imported the XML.

My previous LWT version was 3.5.02. It is now reporting as 3.5.05 in AdminCP, I thought it would be 3.6.02?

Everything is still working, but not sure about the versioning...

I guess I've forgotten to update the version in the pluggin file but if you overwrote the .php files and if your WT footer displays it as 3.6.02, then you are fine. It is really the WT footer version that really shows which version you are using. :)

[garyrogers]

I want to replicate the " paid subscriptions" part of the usercp on a webtemplate; the template that vb uses is " subscriptions" in the "paid subscriptions templates" section, but when i copy this into the webtemplate, It doesnt work. for instance there is this code below, how do I get the " activesubscriptions" data from the database into the webtemplate??:

<if condition="$show['activesubscriptions']">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="3">$vbphrase[active_subscriptions]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[subscription_title]</td>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[start_date]</td>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[expiry_date]</td>
</tr>
$subscribedbits
</table>
<br />
</if>
any advice warmly received

I've noticed an erro in my AdminCP for web templates:

it doesn't seem to affect functionality. Not sure what I could have done to cause it - any ideas?

Thanks

If the LWT could parse field values in Result Prefix Code, Result Affix Code and Query No Result Row, it would be utterly fantastic!

In your example you want to use postid returned in a Query No Result Row but it does not make sense because query no result row applies only when there is no results returned (which means there is no postid either). So how could the hack get that variable in the first place? :)

I guess you can do what you wanted by using "webquery phpinclude before" section: If you add a firstpostid query there and save it in a variable then you can use it in other section later.

Eg.
$querymypostid = $db->query_first("
SELECT firstpostid
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread
WHERE threadid = 0000
");
$mypostid = $querymypostid[firstpostid];

Now you can use $mypostid variable in the Query No Result Row. ;)

Logican, that's simply perfect. I didn't realize that one could share the output in that way. That's just too cool :up: I shall be ripping the guts out of my webqueries this weekend to implement this.

Thanks for the education.

Updated my example WebQuery based on Logican's suggested enhancement. Works a treat, thank you! [link (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1354651&postcount=760)]

Hopefully, I can get an answer, since this mod is not supported...I guess I'll just take a chance and someone will know the answer.

I'm trying to insert a floating menu script into one of the templates, however, in order for it to work...I'll need to remove the following from the template itself:

The floating menu should now be working. If not, remove this tag from the top of your HTML pages: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

That's all I need to know...

Is there a way to remove this from the template and still have it function properly? Or can it be re-written in order to support the script I'd like to include within the template?

Any help is much appreciated...

I've said it once...and I'll say it again...Kudos to Logician for this mod!

You can remove this line from your webtemplates:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]

If you are using a theme webtemplate, you should remove it from parent theme. Eg. "Default Basic Theme"

[Saviour]

Logician...

I'm sorry, I'm a little confused...in which webtemplate will I remove that line of code?

None of the templates I've created have that code in them...unless it's in the view.php file. Am I missing something here?

If I assume correctly, are you talking about this template: WebTemplates_Editors_EditPage

If that's the case...I removed that line of code, but if I view the source after creating the template...I still see the code I was referring to in my first post about this issue.

Thanks for the quick reply, by the way...much appreciated. In the interim...I'll see if I can find out where you're referring to.

Updated...

Never mind...I didn't understand fully...found what you were referring to in the Default Basic Theme and removed it.

Kudos! You da man!

[Saviour]

Okay, Logician...

I guess I can't have my cake and eat it, too...

After I removed $stylevar[htmldoctype] from the Default Basic Theme, vbulletin's default theme seemed to expand the width of the template pages. They appear, normally, under my other skin, though.

Interesting... If you visit the site and take a look at the Knowledge Base links and the Resources page (using the current Default template)... everything appears normal... but if you switch styles at the bottom of the page... you'll see what I mean. Link to site in sig...

Any way I can fix this without doing a major overhaul?

Again... I appreciate the assistance.

Update:

BTW...this does not happen when using Firefox. So far, I've only seen it happen using the Internet Explorer and Avant browsers. So...my guess is that this mod is only compliant with certain web browsers. Am I correct in assuming this? Anyone? Anyone at all?

I am searching for a way to add a Google Adsense Box to a normal HTML Template made with this product. I enter the normal Script Code but it is not showing up.
Does anyone know how I can make this working?

There shouldn't be any problem for this. I think it is about google adsense. It sometimes starts displaying a few hours later and refuses to display for you if you refresh the page with same IP too much. Check source code of your wt and if you see the code there flawless then it is not WT that is the problem.

[afullcup]

Is there anywhere that templates for this mod are shared? For instance, I like the Meet Our Staff page on this site (probably not done with this mod, but you get the idea) and would love to be able to copy and paste some code for this. Or for some of the sample sites given in the OP.

[Icehawk002]

When a template page links through to a second page determined by a condition how is the conditional page edited?

example might be on first web page "select name" which goes to webtemplate123&selected20%name for example.

erm thats probably not that clear but please try and help

[powerful_rogue]

Hi,

Ive installed a program called HESK (http://www.phpjunkyard.com/free-helpdesk-software.php) - its a free ticket based helpdesk. It has two txt files - header.txt and footer.txt

Would it be possible to use this mod to give HESK the header and footer from my forum?

www.doverlocals.co.uk/support is what I currently have.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

[pokemonleague]

I want to say thanks, this is a great mod. I had a few questions after installing.

When I select PHP parse when creating a new WebTemplate, it only displays the parsed php not the forum template. How do I fix this?

Is it possible to include a php script in the WebQueries >> Query Result Row field, other than creating a plugin with the php file?

[Tikibird]

I just installed this hack and I am trying to figure it out. There are several pre-loaded Advanced Web Queries in the Logicians Web Template section at the top of the Admin CP but nothing happens when I click on them. I see a box for "Edit" and "remove" to the right of the page but no "Run" command. How do I run a query?

I am a beginner at this so please be gentle!

[TigerWare]

You put the name of the webquery into a Logican's Web Template (and tick the appropriate box on the Web Template). This is how a Web Query gets 'run'.

Have a look at the example Web Templates provided in conjunction with the supplied documentation. It may be confusing to start with but once you become familiar, LWT will be like an old friend.

[valdet]

Sorry to bump this thread, but has anyone tested this with the latest vB 3.6.8 PL2.

Thanks Tigerware. I found the web template and clicked on "Visit" and got this message:

Yes, it works fine.

Beaten to the punch by the master himself.

[Tikibird]

Thanks Logician! That is exactly what happened. Funny, I used Smart FTP to drag the files over to the directory and that View.php and editor.php didn't copy over with the admincp and includes ones.

Everything is working fine now, thanks so much for your help!!

Now I just have to think of some more stats I can run!

[Icehawk002]

We have a library for article relevant to our site content this currently consists of a huge number in excess of 180 webtemplate pages. Each template has the same menu code in it and the page layout is the same other than obviously the article content is different.

I wonder if people have any suggestions to improve this arrangement?

The biggest problem is if we add a new menu item all the 180 plus templates require modification.

thanks

It sounds like you need to put the menu system in the WebTemplate "Theme" and not inside each template page. My article here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=157529) may give you some ideas. (Just ignore the vBa bits for your reading).

Thanks TiggerWare that looks like a good solution and very helpful, I'll have a go and see how it works out.

Exactly as tigerware told. You have to make a single webtemplate theme and then use this theme in your article webtemplates. I suggest you read "theme" section in manual.

[Saviour]

Logician...

I've searched through this thread, and have found some related issues, but I'm a little green when it comes to PHP...so please, be patient.

Here's my issue...and I have to reference another coder's mod...so again, please be patient with me.

I am using the Radio and TV mod developed by Dream. It references a page named radioandtv.php. When this page loads...it doesn't show the header, navbar, or footer. Okay...so I read Dream's entire thread regarding his mod and in post #97 find the code I need to add the header, navbar and footer. The header, navbar and footer display, but with an "error on page" message at the bottom of the page. Also, the links in the navbar that have pop-up menus do not work, either. I asked Dream about it...and since the code is not part of his mod...I'm sort of stuck.

This is what I'd like to do...using your web template system, I would create a PHP template and use the PHP code from Dream's radioandtv.php file. So far...so good...the page displays. Yet, I still need to incorporate my header, navbar and footer. How would I go about coding Dream's radioandtv.php file, within your template mod, so the header, navbar and footer are shown and functioning properly?

I know you don't support his mod, but I guess my main question is how to make sure I have the header, navbar and footer coded correctly within a PHP template while maintaining the integrity and functionality of the navbar and footer...making sure the links and pop-ups work as they should?

BTW...I have also PM'd the creator of the code referred to earlier for Dream's mod, but have yet to receive a response. So, I'm hoping you can at least shed some light on my issue and point me in the right direction.

Any help you provide will be greatly appreciated...

Thanks...it does shed some light, but not being able to code with PHP brings me two steps back.

In my header template...I have some javascript...which is what's probably causing the error on page.

I have no clue where to place the codes you referred to (in that link) within the PHP code of Dream's PHP file...

I'm definitely at a loss here...but still would like to thank you for your help...much appreciated...

Fantastic mod! I got question before installation. I'd like to host my users sites @ my board. Is it any possibility to give users permission to make their own simple pages?

[TigerWare]

I'd like to host my users sites @ my board. Is it any possibility to give users permission to make their own simple pages?

You can, though giving end-users their own pages to play with requires some Admin work. You would set up a webtemplate 'theme' (examples in the install) and then create individual web template pages as your users require. The web template page is displayed inside the theme, so the end users cannot alter the theme itself, only the page they are given access to. You assign appropriate edit permissions for the user(s) for that page and they can edit to their hearts content.

However, be careful about allowing HTML web templates for end users, it's very dangerous, and easy for them to make a complete hash of it (there's abuse too, but we'll take that as read). You have the option of bbCode based web template pages, which is by far the safest option and easiest to understand from the end users perspective.

LWT is great and I've had a lot of fun with it for my site. Spending time understanding this modification is not as daunting as it may first appear. It's worth the small learning curve, because this mod is FAB!

The web template page is displayed inside the theme, so the end users cannot alter the theme itself, only the page they are given access to. You assign appropriate edit permissions for the user(s) for that page and they can edit to their hearts content.

However, be careful about allowing HTML web templates for end users, it's very dangerous, and easy for them to make a complete hash of it (there's abuse too, but we'll take that as read). You have the option of bbCode based web template pages, which is by far the safest option and easiest to understand from the end users perspective.

LWT is great and I've had a lot of fun with it for my site. Spending time understanding this modification is not as daunting as it may first appear. It's worth the small learning curve, because this mod is FAB!

Thanks for reply. But before installing I got one more question. Will the users opportunity to edit their pages after posting them? How will it works like? Can I get more details?:)

Cheers!
Pedro

[TigerWare]

Will the users opportunity to edit their pages after posting them?

Yes, an "Edit" link is provided at the foot of the web template page which allows the authourized user access to the editing features.

[pipin]

I guess I've forgotten to update the version in the pluggin file but if you overwrote the .php files and if your WT footer displays it as 3.6.02, then you are fine. It is really the WT footer version that really shows which version you are using. :)

Yeah, but the footer displays 3.6.01 for the last version. ;)

And it would be nice if the productname would link to this thread,too.

Logician...

Again, I'd like to thank you for this mod...very nice!

Is there any way, at all, this can be updated to include a "printer friendly" and "email to a friend" option?

I know this mod is not supported...but would like to know if it's at all possible...it would be a nice addition to this mod.

The reason I ask is that I use this mod for a Knowledge Base I've started on my site...

It has come to our staff's attention that these two requests should be implemented within the Knowledge Base articles.

This means I'm going to have to create duplicate pages and link to them...so you see the reason for my asking?

I appreciate any feedback you have to offer on this...

Hello can anybody advise how to place checkbox with profile field option?

I am saving the form with profile.php everything works fine but the checkbox. (textfield works fine).

I have tried this:
<input type="checkbox" value="$bbuserinfo[field29]" name="userfield[field29][]" id="cb_cpf_field29_1"/>
this doesnt load wheter checkbox is checked or not and if I check nothing is saved.

and this

<input type="checkbox" value="$bbuserinfo[field29]" name="userfield[field29][]" id="cb_cpf_field29_1" <if condition="$bbuserinfo[field29] =='1'">checked="checked"/if> />
But this load "checked" in whatever case and doesnt save "unchecked" option.

Can anybody advise how to proceed with this checkbox field?

THANK YOU!!!

I have installed a couple of templates just wanted to ask how I get the template to 'open' on page load within a module.

if you have a quick glance at the test site www.crosslight.co.uk (http://www.crosslight.co.uk)

I'm not sure if I understand your request but if you are trying to display the content of http://www.crosslight.co.uk/CrossLightForum/view.php?pg=aboutcrosslight when in http://www.crosslight.co.uk/CrossLightForum/index.php why don't you just put the content inside your vbadvanced module? It seems to be the best method.

Or you can put a popup javascrit to your vbadvanced page and when it is loaded, it popups about us page.

Unlike vb posts, having a built-in printer friendly version with WT is not very easy because a WT can have 3 different formats : bbcode parsing (text), HTML and php. So for instance how can the code automatically create a printer friendly version for HTML or PHP webtemplates, it is very hard. :)

[john.friel]

Nice Mod! I have it installed and working but have a question. I link to a WebTemplate page from a message on the forum, but when clicked it opens a new browser tab in IE7. None of the other fully qualified links on the site do this. Have I missed a setting?

Running 3.6.8 patch2 and the latest download of WebTemplates.

You can see this at http://reunion.cedarfallshigh.org and clicking on the Reunion Roll Call from the center News Item.

Thanks in advance.

This is not really about the hack. It is how your vbulletin deals with tags. If WT is openning the links in a new window, your vbulletin must be openning links in messages in new window too:

i am trying to past a lot of data and make a page, but am getting this error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 867187 bytes) in /home/site/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions_template.php on line 2184

what is causing this?

[Logician]

This is not about the hack. Even if it is vbulletin that is producing this error, it is not about vb either. It happens due to a server restriction you have and because you are trying to post data which is above this restriction.

Please see here for more info and also fix:

(If you are on shared hosting and can't get PHP memory limit increased, try to shorten your page)

Hi Logician!

Just a quick question for you. A couple of weeks ago my team and I completely overhauled my site. We had to integrate my current forums into the new template skin which worked fine, but when I am in the admincp in the Webtemplates section none of the pages work. However they do work when on the regular page. I was told it has something to do with CSS?

Would you happen to know how I can fix this? If you need any log in info to see what I am talking about I will be more than happy to give it to you.


Thanks,
Cori

You can create header/footer webtemplates in Add New Header/Footer page, then copy your new style's CSS and other related style codes and then you can edit your templates and choose it to use this header/footer instead of default vb header/footer.

This should fix it.

[dilbert]

I had someone do some custom work for me related to this terrific script. I made the poor decision to upgrade, and seem to have lost the ability to do what i had done previously.

Essentially what I am trying to do is include a cold fusion page inside of a web template. That way I can use the forum look, but include the page I need. Two reasons for this - I am using a different database (MS SQL) and have no idea how to create a php page, but am familiar with cf.

Is there a way to include pages?

[vrokar]

An appropriate representation of the requested resource /forums/admincp/wt_wt.php could not be found on this server.

Everytime I try to add some code. Plain text works fine. But anytime I try to use some custom code it dies. Any idea?

This can't be related to hack. It should be a server issue. I suggest you check with server admin. It can be a jumpy mod-security setting if server has it.

Anyone test this on 3.7?

Yes except a few minor issues it works fine with 3.7.x too. There are only some small issues like in "export webtemplate" sections. They don't effect the working of the hack, unless you specifically attempt to use that section.

[dartho]

yep, works a treat on 3.7

Thanks logician for the great script I'm making extensive use of it on my forum.

Just one quick question -- I know you can have multiple webqueries on a page, but is there any way to pass the output of one query to another? If so, I haven't figured out how to do it.

Thanks again

bummer :( guess i'm pushing the script a little too far :)

Just thinking outside of the box -- can one include eval statements in the phpinclude before/after parts of the webquery? If so, I can see a way to issue additional queries & pass the results on to the webquery for final output.

You should be fine with 3.7. But when it is gold version is up, I plan to release a version covering all these minor issues too. I can't promise its ETA but intend to do it.

Little off-topic. I'm using your great hack on my forum and it works great but I have a small problem. I would like to use the SEO urls and I managed to do that, but since my forum is not in the root and in a /forum/ dir, I have two .htacess files which the second one stops the first from working.

Can I add the SEO urls code to the file in the root and get it work? Is there any modification?

Html code works fine calling applet directly from server but when same html code placed in a new web template window the applet fails to load. Html has codebase defined this time.

placing another codebase in the parameter section, to wit

Using a template as an intro./welcome page before the VB forum, the template shows

Currently Active Users Viewing this Page: 4

question:

Instead of showing the users on this one page - how can I make it display the total number of users on the entire vb forum?

[nanaimobar]

A puzzle applet has a save function storing puzzle data in a cgi-bin file. When I click on the save button I get an invalid page notice, "The page you requested does not exist!" The page is the web template containing the puzzle which produces the invalid page notice.

The web template page is at https://my site/forums/view.php?pg=crswrdpuz
It is not an actual html page stored on my server and I think what the save function needs to do is save the puzzle data somehow for replacement in the puzzle grid the next time a visitor reloads the web template page.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

Have you tried using SEO friendly URLs? This might help since WT will be renamed as

https://my site/forums/view_crswrdpuz.htm
which your script might like better.

However please note that if script is trying to overwrite this HTML somehow (to insert score inside it etc), then it will still fail. I'm not sure why that script is trying to access that html file.


Instead of showing the users on this one page - how can I make it display the total number of users on the entire vb forum?

This is not possible as a default feature but if you don't mind hacking (and this hack will apply to ALL webtemplates too!), this should work:

In view.php, find line:


session.lastactivity > $datecut AND (session.location LIKE '%".$Search_Word_for_session_TB."?%' AND session.location LIKE '".$idSQL."') OR (session.location LIKE '%".$Search_Word_for_session_TBURL."%')


and replace it as


session.lastactivity > $datecut



Any suggestions as to why this applet works fine when loaded from server as a straight html page but when same html code placed in new web template page it fails?

I would think this is related to the applet. It is likely that it is coded to work in the same server enviroment. It doesnt sound like anything related to WT.

Changed to SEO friendly and managed to get Save button to save puzzle data to bookmarks or hard drive, but... when recalling the saved page, using a display saved puzzle cgi script, it just produces a blank page, let alone include any solved words or letters that were in the puzzle when it was saved.

Your quote above indicates overwriting will fail, and this may be the case.

For those who is having this problem, here is a quick fix:

Edit includes/wt_include.php, find

function WTgettemplate($template, $escape = 1, $gethtmlcomments = 1)
{

extract ($GLOBALS);


REPLACE it as:

function WTgettemplate($template, $escape = 1, $gethtmlcomments = 1)
{

//extract ($GLOBALS);

This should fix it.

It sounds like a server permission issue to me. You checked chmod'ing but it can be about the user account uploading the file. Please make sure you uploaded (and owned) with a FTP account which is used to upload your other vb files in the folder.

It is definetely not a hack issue. ;)

Since this was the only thing I was trying to add, it always 'broke'... Adding plain txt or html works fine.

I've tried adding the above as straight php and in the phpinclude. Since it's not working, I'm assuming it has to do with the fopen and/or the curl commands and the vB sanitizer is not liking it?

It is your custom skin's vb header/footer/css that is not coded well to go along with other applications that are inheriting it. You should check their syntax. If you switch to default webtemplate header/footer, the problem will go.

I believe it is clashing with vbseo for this. Try to turn off my hack's SEO friendly URLs and try to convert URLs via vbseo. I'm not a vbseo user but if I remember correctly, they released a solution in their forum to use webtemplates with vbseo in SEO friendly way.

Hi Logician...

Just hoping I could get your advice...

I've never really used includes with vb because I never really needed to!

Now that I've found your modification, I would like to 'wrap' a script around your templates.

I've tried to 'wrap' this (http://www.mumsonline.net/forums/eBay/index.php) using the phpinclude section of your modification which returns a blank page and I've tried using <?php include(); ?> method which results in the permissions error I was getting previously when I was trying to stick 'raw' php in the template.

Do you have any suggestions or am I just out of luck? Thanks in advance!

It is really not very easy to say anything. WebTemplate's phpinclude section imitates vbulletin's phpinclude section and it is bound with its lines too. It is not possible to run everykind of PHP code in vbulletin's (hence webtemplate's) phpinclude code because that code runs "inside vbulletin engine" and it shouldn't clash with it somehow. For instance a variable or function which is already declared in vb can cause unexpected results if it also exists in the third party code.

So if vbulletin's phpinclude can handle your script, so does webtemplate. But if it does not, unfortunately webtemplate can not do a miracle as well. :)

[tokenyank]

Yeah... I finally got it to run, but it was above the header..

It went:

Script
----
Header
----
Content
----
Footer

I couldn't manage to get it to go:

Header
----
Script
----
Footer

I couldn't figure it out though so in end I just iframed it in... Not ideal, but atleast it works in the template! :P

Was it working ok before you commented out that line? It seems irrelevant to me?

If it does, you can try deleting that line altogether instead of commenting out.

If it does not, delete all default webtemplates and webqueries, uninstall hack, reinstall it and see if it will help.

I installed this on 3.7.1 and it is working great except for one thing...when I was running 3.6, and had a page set to Draft - Yes - the word 'draft' was next to the page in the page list...however with 3.7 (and 3.7.1) the word draft no longer appears...is this something I did or maybe something with 3.7?

I've tried uncommenting the line, deleting the line all together, nothing helps.

I have a second forum that I've also installed this one, everything went well until I deleted one of the default test pages... as soon as I did I got the same error at the first forum.

Odd thing is the error will not go away now when in the AdminCP under WebTemplates. What really makes sense is everything "seems" to be working w/o any issues, just have this error at the top in WebTemplates admincp...

Logician, great hack! Been using it for a while now - currently running fine on my fresh install of 3.7.0 but also have a problem simulair to Hobby's -

When anyone has "edit permission" isn't "edit" supposed to appear in the template too? If you point me in the right direction where to look - phrases? - I could probably figure it out . . . Hobby, I see "Draft : On, Count Visitors : Off, Show Browsers : Off " but not "edit" :)

NOTE: Ah, now I see this in the footer of the stock "priv_privatemessages ":


What's Up Doc? Thanks Again, Rabbit

the part im referring to is in the ADMIN CP area - on my 3.6 board when the list of pages was shown it would show 'Page Title - draft' - now it just shows the page title without the word draft. Makes it hard to scan through the list to see the pages that are still in the works.

[ElizeF]

Thanks, I have created my first web template. I must admit with the user manual and help documents it is easy enough for anyone to "create" web templates. ;)

For what it's worth DITTO here (just checked, no "draft" indicator in CP!) I think my problem proved easier to solve than yours might - just found what I was looking for under the "Default Basic Theme" which basically adds another footer between my copyright and the "Quick Info Panel for Admins".

Used to be you could create a new Category (for storing drafts in?) but don't see that now either.

I've fixed this issue and released another version in the first post. You don't need to make a full install, you can just overwrite file /admincp/wt_wt.php and this will fix it.

I have a problem viewing HTML files correctly in my webtemplates. I edit my HTML files in Microsoft Frontpage using its WYSIWYG editor, then copy and paste the HTML code directly into the webtemplate creator in vBulletin Admin CP (in HTML parsing mode). But the resulting webtemplate does not accurately represent the webpage shown in the WYSIWYG interface of Frontpage. For example, there are some inaccurate font colours, font sizes, spacing between lines, etc. even though the same HTML code in Frontpage shows the webpage correctly. However, my forum's custom skin / style has been correctly inherited by the webtemplate, ie. correct background-colour, header / footer, etc. The problem is with the actual content of the HTML page in the webtemplate.

It's not an option for me to edit the page in TEXT mode instead because my webpage includes embedded objects such as RealPlayers, video players, etc. and I need more than the limited features of the vBulletin WYSIWYG editer (hence I use Frontpage). If anyone can shed some light on this issue or give some advice I would be extremely grateful.

PS. Logician, thanks very much for your incredible hard work, effort, and generosity. Please keep up the great work! :)

If you are using a theme webtemplate to display your custom HTML, it means that you are also using vbulletin CSS file in this template and your custom CSS and vbulletin CSS might clash in certain points. For instance vbulletin CSS might set a table row color as red but your CSS might set it as green etc.

So you have to edit your CSS file and remove clashing points and make it work with vb css if you want to use your code inside a theme template with vb header/footer etc.

This problem is actually not about hack, it is about HTML standards. :)

Alternatively you can paste your code into a webtemplate which does not use a theme (ie webtemplate will be parent itself) and even though your code will render fine now, it won't have vb formating, header, footer etc.

Hope I could explain?

Thanks for your reply. I am trying to find an efficient way of identifying and changing the clashing points on the css of my HTML code with the css of my vBulletin skin/style. Do you know if there are any tutorials available on how to do this?

It is not the hack. You have a obselete code in your vb's "headinclude" template. Delete the contents of this template and it will be fixed.

[brookemegg]

I'm sorry, I don't think I'm fully understanding. I reverted the template back to default and it's still there. And then I deleted the contents of headinclude completely, which didn't work either. I know this doesn't deal with the hack, but if you have any ideas, I'd greatly appreciate them.

If anybody has this problem AND has "QuoteIt!" hack installed, this is because 2 hacks are clashing. To fix the issue, follow these steps:
1- Go to pluggin manager
2- Find pluggin "vBadvanced and Global Quote Stuff" under Product : QuoteIt!, click edit
3- Replace entire content like this:

if (THIS_SCRIPT != 'view')
{
if (defined('VBA_PORTAL') OR defined('QUOTEIT_GLOBAL')) {
$headinclude =& $vbulletin->templatecache['headinclude'];
}
if (defined('QUOTEIT_GLOBAL')) {
$showrandomquote = get_random_quote();
}
}


This should fix your problem. (alternatively you can uninstall either product)

@brookemegg : I've already fixed yours.

You can't do it with webtemplates.

However adding such a code in a hook like "global_setup_complete" as a vb pluggin can help:



$myspecialcode = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM accounts");
Now you can use $myspecialcode[count] variable in many templates in the entire vb.

So to make checks if you are in WT, you can use template conditionals like:

Hi Guys,

I have been installing this and have got as far as Step 3. The problems that I have hit are:

Under my Includes file, there were no "Cron and XML files. So I have added one of each as "New Folders" and added the relevent files within them.

I uploaded the Correct .XML file to the add-Import Product Manager, logged out - shut the window - reopened it and there is NO "Logician's WebTemplates" in the left hand menu.

Could someone tell me what has gone wrong Please?

I am running 3.6.8 Patch Level 2

[Logician]

Under my Includes file, there were no "Cron and XML files.
This is impossible because /includes/cron and /includes/xml are default folders of vbulletin and vb can not be installed (nor run) without these folders. You are obviously inside a wrong "/includes/" folder. Make sure you are in /your_forum_folder/includes/

[Welshy2008]

Logician,

Thank you for you impressive resonse and reply. (the first time it has happened for me).

I put them in the same route that I have placed on my other add-ons, Mods and hacks etc.

When I look at vB AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products. There is a "Logician's WebTemplates 3.5.0.05 "

If I goto AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> I can see 6 Web Templates:

Web Templates_AdminPanel
Web Templates_Editors_EditPage
Web Templates_LoginCode
Web Templates_NowBrowsing
Web Templates_VisitorLogMain
Web Templates_VisitorLogMain_Row

I will Un-Install it all now and try again under a different route now. :(

[Welshy2008]

I have re-done it and it showed in my AdminCP.

Done everything to to letter.

Works great. How would I go abouts taking (your) rights for the bottom of it Please? Can you PM me with regard to this please? Cost etc.

Actually what you wanted is not very relevant to this hack. You can do what you want with your webtemplate for "your other pages" but if you want this information in your forum pages, you need to use another hack for this as webtemplate can not do it. ;)

I guess you ran "wt_upgrade.php"? You don't need to do that because that script is for 3.0.x -> 3.5.x upgrades. Since your previous version is not 3.0.x, you don't need to run this script. Your upgrade is already completed.

Basically I took my html pages, copied everything in the html file except the body, head, meta tags, in other words, everything within the table, div or span tags, then created the page. You will have a new URL, so you'll have to update the links...works like a charm. I also paid the OP some money via PayPal to go brand free, fyi...rg sends!

Basically I took my html pages, copied everything in the html file except the body, head, meta tags, in other words, everything within the table, div or span tags, then created the page. You will have a new URL, so you'll have to update the links...works like a charm. I also paid the OP some money via PayPal to go brand free, fyi...rg sends!


What drives your homepage?..... vbadvanced?

Logician, please help ;)

I am trying to make a page that is editable by certain users, I see you say that the page must be made in TEXT and not html etc. That is fine and I have done that but no matter what I do I can not find an Edit link anywhere on the page, I have used the webtemplate footer and added the usergroup admin as editors but still nothing. Where is this edit link supposed to be?

Thanks

If you are using one of the default themes, it should pop up automatically. If you don't, you can always add $WT_Editor_link to your custom design to make it appear.

Thank you, I used the $WT_Editor_link and now it's working perfectly.

Another question if I may:

Is there any easy way of copying a post on the forum into a text template without losing all the bbcode formatting like Bold, Italic etc. As it is now, if I copy and paste a post into the template it loses all the formatting. I am currently using an offline bbcode editor that shows all the bbcode and then pasting that into the template, but it's a long tedious task as I have to basically type out the whole post if there is formatting in it.

Thanks.

If you turn on WYSIWYG editor of the vbulletin in your vb options (and also enable it in your user cp options), it can keep the formatting in your pastes as it is usually capable of processing such data well.

When WYSIWYG is on, Webtemplates can also use it.

Is there a way to only display the page visits stats at the bottom of the page to certain usergroups?

i.e. this bit

Page Visitors: 9, Last Visitor was Guest at Today - 10:44 AM.
Page Created at Yesterday - 03:02 PM, Last Modified : Today - 10:45 AM.

By default only admins see it. If you want to display to others, you can edit theme webtemplate (eg. default basic theme), find this section:


<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6">
<tr>
<td class="thead" align="left">Page
Visitors: <b>$count</b>, Last Visitor was $WT[lastvisitorname]
at $WT[lastvisitdate]. $WT_Editor_link<br>
Page Created at <b>$creationdate</b>, Last Modified
: <b>$lasteditdate</b>.</td>
</tr>
</if>

and change if condition.

Eg.
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7 ">
(all staff can see it)

[john h]

Excellent. I was using a modified copy of the two column theme where it didn't have the "if" condition around that part. All good now :)

Hi folks

I would like to show one usergroup ID: 26, whats the best way to include the usergroup
on a page please?

Tick all usergroups but 26 in "Disallowed Usergroups" of this webtemplate.

[bashy]

Hi Logican

Sorry, i should have explained a little better

Basically what i would like to do is create a list of all the members in one usergroup
namely ID: 26 and show it to all members so that members can check to
see if there name is on the list... Pretty much the same as the Showgroups works
but just want one usergroup on this specific page

[Problemsolver]

Really nice work but I got 2 questions.

1: How do I disable " Currently Active Users Viewing this Page: 2 (2 members and 0 guests) "?

2: How can I change the background if I create a new template? It uses a forum colour but not in a very nice way :).

Superawesome!

I just wonder if it is possible to remove the text below or at least translate it? Cannot find it in phrases.

Page Visitors: 5, Last Visitor was Guest at Idag - 18:25.
Page Created at 2009-03-28 - 08:16, Last Modified : Idag - 18:30.

You can remove the text inside theme webtemplate you are using.

Cool!

Thanks! But how do I translate "Never"?
It now says

[Last update in swedish]: Never

Term "Never" is taken from vb phrase named "never". I guess it was in global phrases

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.

Excellent product!! :)

I have been breaking my head looking how to remove the footer copyrights.

I removed everything and still showing the copyright messages.

Any help?

I'm talking about the vbulletin copyrights.:)
I paid to remove the copyright, and its already removed from all my forum, but somehow its appearing and all the logician's templates pages.

I want to remove the vbulletin copyrights, not yours.

Please help


Hi Logician, about 3 years ago you send me a PM explaining how to remove the copyright notice. Today I upgrade to v. 3.8.2, the product still working great without having to upgrade it, but again, the copyright notice is appearing on the footer.
I dont know how, as I dont remember how to remove it, so I dont know how it got back there by just upgrading the vbulletin version.

Anyway, could you please send me a PM and explain me again how to remove it?

Thanks!!

[Shanj]

Dear Logician I have been using your template mod very happily for 2 years just with usergroups permissions.
Didn't even REALISE I could make it per individual - though would be easier to select the names who CAN view rather than list all the rest who cannot.
Wonderful though.

I want to now make different personalised pages when my users login.
Anyone got any idea how to force login to go to one of these pages as set by usergroup or even individual?
If it was one page it would be simple but I'm going to have around 30 different ones.

Thanks!!
