Creating Page Within Page?

[MarkFoster]

How do I create a page within a page for example: www.example.com/example.php?do=news
Or something like: www.example.com/example.php?action=news

I really need this soon so any help appreciated.

[Bellardia]

Use php $_GET['do'] and $_GET['action'] to get the query string.
Use an if condition...if ($_GET['do'] == 'something') { DO THIS } else { DO THIS } etc

Of course, this would be done in php.

Could you make it in a quote what I should add?

I tried this many times without anything at all working

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'xxx')
{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEMPLATE_XXX') . '");');
}

$_REQUEST is a very different function than $_GET.

Not sure what exactly you want to do with the code, so I won't tell you want to evaluate inside or anything...but to do something based on the query string use the code


if ($_GET['do'] == 'Something')
{
//do something
}

But if I do like this:
if ($_GET['do'] == '?newsmain1')
{
//do something
}


What will the command be to load a template and that template only, not the template that is on.com/name.php?newsmain1 ?

[Bellardia]

You leave the '?' out of the $_GET command.

I advise you ask someone to do this for you, as you don't know PHP. You cant use bb code in php, nor html (directly).
Although a relatively simple task, would take awhile to explain from scratch, especially when unaware of your intentions. I would advise checking out some php tutorials.

Don't put the question mark in the if statement ('newsmain1' only) Try your if statement with that correction.

All I really need is one PHP command which will let me add a page within a PHP file with my own template.
And that's about it so I'm pretty sure somebody has a code for that.

[Bellardia]

if ($_GET['do'] == 'Something')
{
include('PAGENAME.HTML');
}

Change 'something' to what will be after do=, ie, if your page is www.mypage.com?do=run, then change it to 'something'. Change $_GET['do'] to what is before the equal sign...you could make it www.mypage.com?returnpage=first, then you would used $_GET['returnpage']. Use the include to fetch a html/php page from the same directory, or link it appropriately.

Or fetch a template instead.

I would rather fetch a template but this code wont work:
if ($_GET['do'] == 'news1')
{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('newsmain1') . '");');
}

Could you give me a exact fetch template line?

[Bellardia]

Depends what page it is running on and where.

Page I coded called news.php.
It's supposed to be another page like example of something that isn't two pages in one but still example: forum 1 with a thread as another page.

I want there to be another page within a PHP file so I wont have to create a PHP file for every page I want.

[Bellardia]

What you're doing isn't really a 'page in a page', it's changing the output of a page based on an if condition. A page in a page would typically be a frame.

In any case, try this tutorial https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=62164&highlight=vbulletin+powered combined with the 'if' condition I showed you above.

[Dismounted]

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=62164" target="_blank">Create your own vBulletin page</a>, then you can use the above conditionals.

[MarkFoster]

Create your own vBulletin page (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=62164), then you can use the above conditionals.

I know, I created my own page that way.

Now I added:
if ($_GET['do'] == 'do=run')
{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEST') . '");');
}

Still nothing working.

Could somebody give me a code instead of letting a non experienced person mess around?

I've told you several times now how to use the $_GET function, and every time you post you change it around. Re-read my above posts please.

I've tried getting it around now over and over again.
Sorry I'm just not good at this.
Please just give me a code instead.

Okay:

That worked out well but I got a problem.
I still want the:
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('news') . '");');
For the "news.php" but if I add it then the "?do=run" will be the exact same page as the "news.php" is there any way I could have them both?

It works perfect!
Thank you.
