I just do not have anything under "using a theme?" other then "No parent template"....

Please help, thanks alot.

You missed STEP 3.

Thanks logician. You were correct. I am pretty sure alot of us are missing step 3 because, we are assuming it just says to upload the .xml and missing the rest... I think it is because our screen settings are cutting off the end of step 3 when viewing in notepad.. and we are just not scrolling all the way over to read. Regardless I did what you said and got it working.

However just one last question and then I wont bother you anymore...I will also donate.

http://www.digitalbrass.com/view.php?pg=aboutdigital is the test page I created. It is throwing off the navbar making it off center.. and moving the header image to the left when it should be center.

as shown here http://digitalbrass.com can you help me correct this? I am willing to PM you login details if you have some time and patience. Regardless

Thanks again.

Please pm me admin cp access (admin account you gave to me should have full permissions in admin cp) and let me check.

Teşekkür ederim

First off, great hack! Like many others, this is exactly what I was looking for.

I do however have a small problem.

my stats script for bf2 relies on variables attached to the url. each player has a different url to pull up stats.

for example:
player 44455101 would have a url such as:

http://www.knightsofkarbala.com/view...nput1=44455101

while player 44572383 would have a url as:

http://www.knightsofkarbala.com/view...nput1=44572383

ANYWAYS

onto my question here.

In order to get this to function properly, I need to set WebTemplates to PHP mode. The script then works as intended but is missing the vbulletin header and footer. I looked at a post a few pages back here which Logician, you suggested using an iframe. I did this and the script simply just loaded whenever a user inputed his player number/name on the main page. The script didnt grab his data.

I think I can get this to work with the vbulletin header and footer if in WebTemplates we were allowed to use both HTML and PHP at the same time within WebTemplates. I was trying to put the contents of the Default Basic Theme into the Template I was creating with the script code in it but all it outputs is a blank white screen.

If thats not possible, I was then wondering how to export the Default Basic Theme to include it in my script and have it load it that way.

thoughts?

You can give it a shot for these 2 methods:
1- Edit view.php, find
after that add:
This should then allow you to use input1 variable in WT.

2- In php webtemplates, variables for header, footer, headinclude etc. are already compiles so I'd think just echo'ing them should work. Eg.

echo $header;
echo $headinclude;
echo $footer;

(I didn't test myself atm)

perfect! my script now works as intended :D

thanks again!

Great hack! How do I make the pages more SEO friendly though? Google's not picking them up as well as the other pages... Furthermore, how do I sort my header out? On the other pages the header logo is centralised. However, on the webtemplate pages the header logo is on the left. So for instance...
Normal page: http://www.studentcreche.co.uk/forum.php
Webtemplate page: http://www.studentcreche.co.uk/view....=periodictable

Please see SEO part of user manual. Yet I'd think that google should pick them well. I don't use SEO urls in my own board, and webtemplate pages ranks very high.
