I did all the things follow to this thread:https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=62164

and i got a blank page,here is the code in test.php:
<?php

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

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'test'); // 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(
'TEST',
);

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

);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

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

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Test Page';

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEST') . '");');
?>
here is the code in template "TEST"
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header

$navbar

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">Title</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">Text</td>
</tr>
</table>

$footer
</body>
</html>

the "TEST" template works fine in index.php,when I put eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEST') . '");'); in it.It just wont work in test.php.

how can I solve this problem?:confused:

Are you sure if the page has access to global.php?

Is the page in the same directory as all the other vbulletin forum pages?

yes，it's in the same path as index.php is.
I tried to rename test.php to index.php or other existing vbb files, it works. It seems vbb is preventing me to use custom file, is there a setting doing such stuff?(prevent using custom file)

You shouldn't need this line in the file (try removing it):
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);

I removed it, but still got a blank page:confused:

I changed the last part of code FROM $navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEST') . '");');

TO

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('$output = "' . fetch_template('TEST') . '";');
echo $output;
//eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEST') . '");');

then the result shows exactly as what it should be. Anyone can tell me what is going on?:(

Seems I read somewhere that this code needs to be in all pages now?

define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);

Thanks bro. But, it doesn't help. I added that code, and still, a blank page.It seems I can't use print_output?

--------------- Added 1231755923 at 1231755923 ---------------

ok I tried to dig in the print_output function, and found the script stopped at fetch_gzipped_text()'s header('Content-Encoding: ' . $encoding);,after this code the browser got unrecognized string instead of html codes,that's why IE6 returned a blank page and firefox returned an error message says the page is corrupted.

so anyone please help me :(

btw $encoding is "gzip"

Are you sure you're visiting the page in the style you created the template in? That's usually why you'll get a blank page.

I'm having this problem too, so i need a solution as well.
EDIT. I'm a fool.
I ftp'd the php file before i saved what i copied and pasted. All is well now.

The problem is with template "TEST"..
1)Double check does the template name is "TEST"
2)maybe you've opened test template on other skin... try to open template called "TEST" on the style that you are using

cheers :)

I am having the exact same problem. I have added a template to my style called "products", added a file called products.php in the /forums folder, and then changed the file to reference "products" and I just get a blank page.

3.8.0 here...

Problem solved:

I was using an UPPER CASE template name in my php file. Once I changed it to lower-case, which matches the name of the template in the Styles admin it worked. :)
