pages?

[CarpCharacin]

Is there a mod that will allow me to create static pages?

Try a search on "page*" perhaps? Otherwise, there is a tutorial - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228112

Here's how I do it:

Create a file called experiment.php in forum root with this code:


<?php

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'experiment');
define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);
if (in_array($_GET['do'], array('whoposted', 'buddylist', 'getsmilies')))
{
define('NOPMPOPUP', 1);
}

// ################### 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();

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

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

// ################################################## #####################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// ################################################## #####################
$HTML = vB_Template::create('experiment')->render();
$navbits = array();
$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
$navbar = render_navbar_template(array());
$templater = vB_Template::create('GENERIC_SHELL');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('HTML', $HTML);
print_output($templater->render());
?>


Now make a new template called "experiment" and fill in the desired html. (see above where $HTML is created from the "experiment" template).

This gets you going. I would have to do some more research for $navbits, which template group should contain "experiment" (action templates , I think).

I am looking for a mod that will let me and other admins create pages via the admincp. The other admins do not have root access to the forum.

Perhaps this mod, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232207

I second that Ozzy. I have been using bf easy pages for years. I use it on many sites for error pages, static html pages, etc. Really simple and great way to make some new pages.

[ozzy47]

Yeah I think that will give the user what he is after. :)

[CarpCharacin]

it says it only works on vbulletin 4.1. I am running 4.2.2

[ozzy47]

It still works on 4.2.x, 4.1 was the version the mod was released for, but it is still working.

[CarpCharacin]

It still works on 4.2.x, 4.1 was the version the mod was released for, but it is still working.

thanks

[ozzy47]

Not a problem, glad to help. :)

[CarpCharacin]

How do i disable the pages tab? I do not want t have the tab in the navbar that says pages.

EDIT: I figured it out :)

[ozzy47]

Glad you figured it out. Remember though, any help you need with any modification you are using, needs to be asked in that mods thread, not in the general forums. :)
