custom template

[XxBuLLeTz]

is there anyway i can create groups for custom templates...i would want it to be named leagues and then have registration, participants, etc, under that group.

ill do an example..

FORUMHOME TEMPLATES >> (when you click that, this comes up:

FORUMHOME HOME
FORUMHOME_event
FORUMHOME_forumbit
etc.

I want to know how to make a group like FORUMHOME TEMPLATES...execpt i want mine to be called leagues, and when you click that, other custom templates pop up.

Hook 'template_groups', insert:
$only['TEMPLATEPREFIX'] = 'Gorup Name';
For example:
$only['test'] = 'Test';
That would show any template prefixed with test (ie. test_event) under the heading 'Test Templates'.

I have one more question. Is there anyway I can create a custom page that doesnt have to be on the root directory.

1./ Just add templates with test_ prefix.
2./ Yes, change all ./'s to ../

Im using this hack, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=62164 so where would i add the the file thats not in the directory?

Find:
require_once('./global.php');
Add above (Change forum to your directory):
chdir('./forum/');

Sometimes, common sense comes into play :).

yay! I got it...but theres only one problem...the images arent coming up. (and the links arent working)

You'll need ABSOLUTE links to images, the style manager is your friend.

You'll need ABSOLUTE links to images, the style manager is your friend.yea, i got taht for the images...is there something like that for the links, b/c the only way I see you can do it is by editing every single template. Is there anyway you can direct every link to an absolute link.

Style Manager > Edit Style Settings

Note that this only works if your style uses the inbuilt variables for images.
