No, using on v3.8.x.
I was getting the same problem when I installed v3arcade.

I've downgraded the PHP on my server to v5.2.13, which I wasnt happy about - but it seems to have fixed the problem.

This and other mods should be configured with the latest stable release of PHP, as most people will want to use the latest PHP version, or atleast the server managers.

This is not a mod, but a tutorial for coders, provided by someone in his spare time, so you can use the knowledge it provides for free. It is six years old. I really ask myself what you are asking for. Especially since the problem is not with this article at all, but with the vB3.x-version you run. You should have upgraded to the latest version which is fully PHP 5.3.0 compatible.

To add to Cellarius' comment if you search all posts in this thread by Lynne you will see that she provides a compatibility line for the latest PHP version, however, on my site (i started with 3.7.x and am now at 3.8.5) i have both a template with the compatibility change suggested by Lynne and quite a few without the change and i have no problems.

A link to this post explaining what to do to suppress the deprecated-warnings is even present in the first post.

It was a problem my end. Turnt out the code isnt supported for the latest version of PHP, so I downgraded the PHP on my server to fit its needs, but will be recorrecting the code so it supports new PHP and will probally post it for others to use.

New version asin PHP 6, which will be released later on in the year.. so I hear.

Thanks Dan, we look forward to it :)

Should be great to have this mod for vb4!

This is not a mod, but an article on how to do things, and a version for vB4 has been available for months ;)

Hey Guys,

I'm working on a client's site and he wants to have http://forums.tunedtech.ca/advertise/ so he can add content for Advertising Plans, etc. Now since that page is outside vBulletin's Forum Root I had to change the "REQUIRE BACK-END" part of the code to point to it, no problem. Everything is working and showing up, but it's not loading the CSS from vBulletin on there. Take a look ...

http://forums.tunedtech.ca/advertise/ (Does not show vBulletin CSS as it should)

I went ahead and created the page using "custom_" in front of the Template name, so that I could access it via the "misc.php" link as well. This helps, so that I know what the page is suppose to look like. Anyways, please take a look here and compare to see what I mean. That's how its suppose to look like when I visit http://forums.tunedtech.ca/advertise/ but it does not.

I'm thinking its due to it being outside the vBulletin Forum Root. So what should I add or change to make it work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advanced,
Danny

My PHP Code:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~8192);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'index'); // 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(
    'custom_Advertise',
);

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

);

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

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

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Advertise on tunedTECH';

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('custom_Advertise') . '");');

?>

My Tempate Code:

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>

EDIT:
Found the fix, much thanks to SirAdrian! If you are also experiencing this issue take a look here for the solution: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1074 ... Add that code to the Template you created right before the "$headerinclude" line withing the <head> tags ... Enjoy!

Does anyone know how to do this when you are using sub domains I am putting a chatroom in its own subdomain so the subdomain is chat.mywebsite.com but i always get this error

Quote:

Warning: require_once(/home/user/public_html/chat/includes/init.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/trinity/public_html/forum/global.php on line 20

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/user/public_html/chat/includes/init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/trinity/public_html/forum/global.php on line 20

its supposed to be finding thta includes in the .forum.mywebsite.com directory so i have to change this for ever instance.
