<?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') . '");');
 
?>

Be sure to change 'TEST' to the actual template name, and change 'test' to the filename. Also, change 'Test Page' to whatever you want to show in the navbar, such as 'Viewing Member Profile' (just an example).

Now create the template, called TEST with the following content:

HTML Code:

$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>

All done :D
Now check it out by going to test.php ;)

I do that and i get blank page http://www.dacho.co.il/test.php

You're doing SOMETHING wrong. Can you post the .php and template codes you're using?

hi all

I want to make the header and footer

but the content of the page
is from another site

can anyone explain this 2 me
easily
as I'm not professional @ all

Is this up to date with the latest VB? (3.8.3)
Or do I need to do some extra modifications? :)

--------------- Added [DATE]1246386340[/DATE] at [TIME]1246386340[/TIME] ---------------

In addition, would it be a good idea to put PHP logic into the VBulletin plugin system? Or should I just put them in this new php page?

This worked great! Thank you.

Hello
I'm trying to design one custom page while keeping vbulletin header, navbar and footer on it.
I've referred to following topics :
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ight=logicians
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=217075
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=197563

Here is the custom page i wanna have headers and footers on.
http://www.projectsplanet.org/forums/testverify.php
Enter code 1234test to test above page.

When i try to put my code as follows in custom template created in Vbulletin admin CP, i'm getting error :

Quote:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header

$navbar

[MY CODE GOES HERE]

$footer
</body>
</html>

When i try to save above template, i get following error :

Code:

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:



Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home2/******/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3729) : eval()'d code on line 16

I guess its because i'm also trying to write php code within template.
Please check attached php file testverify.php
Please tell me how do i put vbulletin header, navbar and footer there.

Following are the contents of attached testverify.php if you do not wish to download it :

Code:

</body>

</html>

Detailed instructions are much appreciated.

You should follow Gary King's article that you linked to. In it, you'll see that you don't do your php page like you have written above at all. Your template will be fine as long as you don't put php in it. Start with the stuff in Gary's article and then add your custom code to it.

Is there any way i can do PHP with this like

Quote:

Header & Navbar

PHP Code Here

Footer

no.

You are supposed to do this:

something.php

Code:

set some variables

require_once('global.php');



PHP code here



output(eval(fetch_template('something')));

and in the template:

Code:

header and navbar



output of the php code



footer

More or less, that is the general idea.

Thank you my good Sir. Ill try that out

Edit - What do you mean output of PHP code, the HTML form?
