Hi,

I am trying to implement this script http://www.clanforums.com/amxbans
into a CMS Template so that it has the vBulletin style and looks integrated.

Normal Pages are no problem but with this external script I have no idea how I can do this.

Can someone please give me a helping hand?

regards

Hello again Logician,
Was wondering if you could answer a few things im trying to find out.
I have just installed Webtemplates and so far it looks pretty nice from what i see.Im trying to learn the basics right now but i wanted to know for certain a few major things.

First and the most major question is,is there a way i can make a main homepage in webtemplates that will display news pulled for a certain forum ID?similar to how various other CMS's do.

Second is more something i am totally in the dark about.I posted a while back in this topic but never really got an answer.I want to make a two column template used for all my main site pages.This i can do but what i would like is to have the left column have a main navigational menu and the right column to display the page content.

Certain pages of my site will have different navigational menu's then others so my question is in webtemplates is there an easy way to do this without manually coding everything?It would be a real pain as you can imagine to add new links if each template would have to be edited just to add a link or two if you know what i mean.

Also is there a way to create new custom catagories to seperate webtemplate pages via the admin panel?For example currently there is "Default WebTemplates" and "Your Custom Pages" i was hoping to see an option to add more such as for example "Catagory 1","Catgory 2",ect.
Thanks for your time and for making this awsome mod :D

Please read thread and FAQ for this. I've already answered it.

Yes sounds possible but may require some HTML design and PHP coding in phpinclude section of your webtemplate or hacking in view.php file.

I am so sorry but I'm not able to meet all these custom requests of hack users due to my busy schedule. I've released this hack which gives high functionality for such needs but every user needs to find out how to manage it themselves. My business really does not allow me to deal with every custom request one by one.

You can use different themes for these pages or use conditionals to display different menus in different templates.

This is also recently answered, please read the thread..

Do you mean something like this?

Hey jluerken,
Yes thats exactly what i mean,That pages ios pretty close to mine in layout except you have many more things in your left column then i will as i only want to have a navigational menu and possibly a "Online Users" area to show what users are viewing the page/site similar to how VB does showing the number of guests and names of logged in users.By the way would you mind if i PMed you reguarding a small question about VBAcmps portal?I was viewing your site and noticed you done something i have been trying to do for ages but cant seem to get right.I tryed at there support forums but no one seems to want to help :S

@Logician
Thanks for answering those,I didnt expect to get anything custom made Just was more of trying to find out if the things i wanted to do were possible with Webtemplates.Looks like many of them are though.By the way just wanted to also ask do you do custom mods?Our main admin might be interested in paying for the work that would need to be done to get webtemplates running like we need it.Thanks

Hey Logician,

When creating a webtemplate why doesn't the preview button work?

One more question. This line:
Page Visitors: 2, Last Visitor was Admin at Today - 04:14 PM.
Page Created at Today - 02:48 AM, Last Modified : Today - 04:10 PM

Is it possible to edit? I'd like to make it one line and change the wording.

There should be an option to not show that stuff. Is there one I missed?

Any word on why the preview button doesn't work when creating a template?

hey Smoothie,
I'm not really qualifyed to answer that Q but i just thought i would say that it works fine in my installation of Webtemplates so perhaps you should double check your settings.

Not working for me for some reason. The preview button works in all other templates.

Will this work for the new 3.6 VB?

Hey again,I had a new question maybe someone can help me with.I was wondering is it possible to include a webtemplate into VBAcmps?I am trying to create a page with a set of character bio's in it.I want each character bio to be a seperate webtemplate but i want to have all of them grouped into a number of pages.I havent figured out a way to do this in webtemplates itself so i though a combination might be a better way using both VBA and WebTemplates together.

Hey logician,

Any help on why the preview template button won't work?

According to the release notes it will work with both 3.5 and 3.6

i was wondering if this is possible with this add-on "webtemplates"

i have a forum that has resources for cell phone users and we have many threads for wallpapers.

so say i have thread#1 and it has all these 130x130 .gif attachments

and i make a webtemplate called WT#1 (for example)

can i have WT#1 i guess query or take and find the attachments of thread#1 and display the images as thumbnails (or fullsize) in .gif format?

all this on same server, same domain, same DB.

is this possible? im just looking for a more efficient way of displaying my resource to my users.

im not very technical but the other admins on my site are and i came up with this idea and im trying to support my techs in implementing this.

TIA for any replies or suggestions.

is there a version for 3.6?

If you mean the preview button in admin cp create/edit webtemplate page, yes, I'm aware of that but there is no quick fix for this sorry. Actually the hack inherits that row "Search in Template - Find - Preview - Copy" from vb template administration and I kept it as it works fine for find feature. Previewing is not working in that screen, you need to save your webtemplate and visit it.

You might want to look at Andrew's Links and Downloads Manager for this.

First of all, i want to say thanks for puttin this out there. This is exactly what I've been looking for in a CMS.

I am however having a problem with the one query "$WQ_last5threadcontentsfromforum108"
I placed that at the bottom of the page im using as a home page, and it does not show anything. I did edit the query name and WHERE t.forumid = '108' to reflect my news forum, but I'm not having any luck? I'm guessing im just doing something wrong and I'll keep trying, but any help would be much appreciated

Edit: Using VB 3.5.4
Edit Again: Linkage -> http://pcdevil.net/vb/view.php?pg=home

I put the query between center tags, and if you view source, it shows the center tags, but no content between them

Hah, im dumb. I didnt check the query at the bottom!

Any way to limit characters and have a "read more" button? A few of these news posts are lengthy...

I just installed this on 3.6 Gold and she is running great....

I have one question/request...

How hard would it be to allow some usergroups to create a page based on their membership to a "Contributor Group" and their page name would be based on their User Name (removal of noncompliant characters or spaces)?

I would like the page to only be visable as long as the owner is a member of the contributor group (IE, let their support expire - page goes away).

I assume that this could all be done via a CRON right?

I need to learn to use the basic code but I think this script could be used to allow members to have a page of their own paid for through a site donation and they would be able to edit and update their own page...

That would be really great to have!

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Too bad you can't get the preview to work, would save the time it takes to save and view. But thanks anyway for the info. And thanks for all your hard work in creating and supporting WebTemplates.

Check Logician's sig. :D

With this, can you create a new page in a new directory? Like vbulletin.com/links/home.php

Nope it creates pages in the forum directory only.

Does it work with vb 3.6 or can I expect its newer version compatible to vb 3.6?

read Logician's descrption:

HTH :)

thanks kihon kata

I'm just curious if I can use a 3rd party wysiwyg editor like Interspire DevEdit NX and how I might go about adding it. Thanks.

Nice mod, Logician.

Question:

Is it possible to change the underscore in view.php_filename.htm to a dash like this: view.php-filename.htm in all instances, so when creating new templates everything will be dashes instead of underscores?

Thanks

You can do so by editing includes/wt_include.php (Search for option section "SEO FRIENDLY URL prefix") AND ALSO .htaccess file

Thanks for your help, Logician.

Looks great!

Does anyone have this running on 3.6.1 yet and if so are there any mods needed?

YEP!

Working fine after upgrade!

I am hoping someone can help me, I added a field in the users profile (field6) which users enter the total amount of weight they have lost. I am trying to add a query which will take all these numbers and add them up to a total I am use on some different pages.

I added the following to a normal webquerie named WQ_totallbs using the following:

SELECT sum( field6 ) AS total
FROM userfield

Then I created a new webtemplate page and tried adding the $WQ_totallbs to the page but nothing shows.

I did this testing in phpmyadmin and it seems to work correctly but it not showing in the webtemplates for some reason.

I am very new to this and just got the query from another user here at vb.org who is doing the same thing, he does it manually and I figured it would be great to add into a webtemplate people can look at for a real-time number instead of manually doing it once a week or whatever.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you using $WQfield[total] in your Query Result Row section? Also make sure "Advanced Query?" is set to NO.

Thank you very much, that is what I was missing :)

Just a question. Can this be used as an article system? We're trying to create a a section in vBulletin where there's a tutorials on HTML, CSS, etc.
Can the page created have a multiple number of page? Let's say view.php?pg=htmlintro&page=1 then view.php?pg=htmlintro&page=2? Trying to make a sort of pagination in the page created, is this possible?
