Will plugins be enabled when making a page that way?

[ragtek]

no
both things have nothing to do with the pluginsystem
just this part needs it:

[cashpath]

So.. How would I call a plugin (already in place) to work on a custom page?

[ragtek]

i think you mean something different that i understand*g*

so you have a plugin witch you want to have on your custom site too?
what plugin is it?

vbmicrostats

[Logikos]

vbmicrostats will more then likely be inherited into your new page, as long as your page is calling the global.php file.

[cashpath]

Well my page calls global and doesn't show microstats, but it is a stand alone php page wrapped in the header and footer of VB, I didn't use the template way of adding the page. Will that change it?

[Logikos]

vBMircostates uses the footer template AFAIK to display the stats. So if your not calling the $footer variable in your code, then vBM won't be displayed.

[cashpath]

I am calling the footer template...

Microstats shows up in the source code like this

<!-- {microstats} -->

[Logikos]

If your using the vBulletin templates system, then it should show. I know vBM using code along these lines:


$output = str_replace('<!-- {microstats} -->', $microstats, $output);




Which should be replacing <!-- {microstats} --> with the stats. I would suggest asking TECK in his hack thread?

[cashpath]

It shows up right on all pages except my custom ones...

I'm lost.. I guess I just wait for TECK

[ragtek]

how does your templatecode look like?

[cashpath]

I'm not using a template I'm just using a php page and including the VB stuff into it..

I'm going to test converting one of my pages to this way of doing it and see if the microstats work then.

[ragtek]

what?
now i don't understand^^

[cashpath]

I have a php page..

With this at the top


// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'league_main'); // change this depending on your filename

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array(

);

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array(

);

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array(
'LEAGUE',
);

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array(

);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].'/forum/global.php');

// ################################################## #####################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// ################################################## #####################

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'League';


$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');


And this at the bottom


<?=$footer?>


I do not have custom templates for the page the page contains all the html out put in it.. all I did was wrap my php files I already had in VB code to make the forum header navbar and footer display aroudn the page.

[ragtek]

wtf

have you a template called 'LEAGUE' ?
if not why you made this: $globaltemplates = array(
'LEAGUE',
);
and what is between head and footer?

and use the shell_blank for your output!

$html.="bla blasdasd";
for (......................)
{
$html.=$bladad.'<br />';
}
or whatever
so it will be in the template and you will have no probs with the footer

[cashpath]

No I don't... I guess because I'm still learning and I was using a tutorial from here to integrate my pages to my board.

and what is between head and footer?

a LOT of php code on most of the pages.

and use the shell_blank for your output!

$html.="bla blasdasd";
for (......................)
{
$html.=$bladad.'<br />';
}
or whatever
so it will be in the template and you will have no probs with the footer

Sorry I'm lost (my fault, not yours.. I just really have no clue.. (new to this))

[Logikos]

shell_blank is a template in vBulletin and serves as a shell for a full page template if you need to create one.

[ragtek]

new to php too or just to vbulletin?*g*

<?

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'imp');

$phrasegroups = array();
$specialtemplates = array();
$globaltemplates = array(
'GENERIC_SHELL',
'impressum'
);
$actiontemplates = array();
$pagetitle="Impressum";
require_once('./global.php');

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('impressum') . '";');


eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('GENERIC_SHELL') . '");');
?>
helps this more?

so everything you want to show on your site you put into the $HTML variable

[cashpath]

I am new to PHP too... STill have a long way to go..

I uploaded one of my scripts here...

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1222720&highlight=vbmicrostats#post1222720

Could you show me what I would need to do with that to make it work? (including instructions for making any templates I need to make)

I think once I go through how to do it once in detail I will be able to convert any of my scripts.

[ragtek]
