Yes, I was referring to the navbar in your image. How did you insert "Stencil Tutorials," for example?

ragtek

in navbar template ad:

Code:

<br /><div id="navcontainer">

<ul id="navlist">

<li><a href="http://www.ragtek.org">Portal</a></li>

<li><a href="index.php">Forum</a></li>

<li><a href="http://www.ragtek.org/gallery/">Gallery</a></li>



<li><a href="stencil.php">Stencil Tutorials</a></li>

<li><a href="calendar.php">Kalender</a></li>

<li><a href="linkliste.php">Linkliste</a></li>

If you want your pages to viewable only to members add this under require_once('./global.php'); in your php file.

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) print_no_permission();

See this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...65#post1286165

I Have Made 3 Of These Pages

http://www.dieselbombers.com/sponsors.php

http://www.dieselbombers.com/toptruck.php

And I have added the Whos online (Where) additional Hack , IT Displays as so..

UNKNOWN LOCATION
/toptruck

Ect.. For all 3 pages

How do i change the UNKNOWN LOCATION TO ( Currently Viewing ) ?

T_Richardson

are your files in the same folder as the the global.php? You might have to specify the location.

I have made several pages but I was wondering if it would be possible to add some forum sections to 1 of these pages?

cobaltcoupe

07-11-2007 06:15 PM

So you can put like a regular html page on your VB website? This is kind of cool.

I'm also searching for some forum content to show in custom pages. I managed to include a shout box. I'm trying to get "who's online" showing and "latest posts/threads".

I've basically put this idea on the back burner for the time being and have set up VB on my PC to play with it and see what I can do and learn.

Yes and how do i do this

CarlitoBrigante

It's not difficult - store your script's working directory in a constant/variable, chdir to the vBulletin working directory, call global.php, and then chdir back to your script directory.

Basically, just do this:

Code:

// vBulletin path (edit the value)

define('VBULLETIN_CWD','/var/www/vhosts/yourwebsite.com/httpdocs/');

// Do not edit anything below

// Your script path

define('YOURSCRIPT_CWD', (($getcwd = getcwd()) ? $getcwd : '.'));

// Switch to vBulletin directory

chdir(VBULLETIN_CWD);

// Call backend

require_once('./global.php');

// Switch back to your script directory

chdir(YOURSCRIPT_CWD);

I have my script in another directory. Using the above advice, it now works, but the images and links are broken. Anyone know how to get around that?

CarlitoBrigante

07-25-2007 02:07 AM

This is an entirely different issue. This is a problem with the html of the website.

Keep in mind that most links to images, stylesheets, scripts used within vBulletin are relative to the forums path. So, if you want to output templates that link to images in your forums' directory using relative links, you can probably just add a base href tag. Of course, having a link to your forums/custom page would make finding the cause of this small issue very easy.

Hope this helps!

Yes . :confused:,

I've a question,
I created a page:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'temp1') 

{ 

    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEMPLATE_temp1') . '");'); 

}

But in the template temp1 I want to add another custom template something temp2
when I run this script it does not show the content of template temp2 ? :confused:
why?

amcd	08-01-2007 08:09 PM

you have to eval temp2 and store the result in a variable before you try to print_output from temp1. see how navbar is processed in the example in the first post.

I had this page working for about 2 years, and all of the sudden it stops working and if i'm not login it ask me to login and when I log-in it says

"username, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:... etc".

Like I said I had this working for 2 years and it stops working and I haven't changed any of the code on the page.

How can I get this back to work?

Can someone really help me out with this. I can't figured out why I'm getting permission deny on my custom page. I did follow all the steps propertly.

08-04-2007 02:06 AM

If you want, send to my e-mail (carlito@psfantasy.com) a copy of the file that is giving you issues. Of course, being able to see your exact setup would make debugging this very easy - maybe you could give us more details?

A blank page usually means that display_errors is off in php.ini. Either switch that on or set the error_log variable to a file writable by nobody.

put this just below the 'START MAIN SCRIPT' comment

Code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo->userid==0)

{

    print_no_permission();

}

Adrian Schneider

08-05-2007 06:37 AM

It should actually be $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . To simplify the code, and fix:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
    print_no_permission();
}

Hi all!

This looks like exactly what i need!

The only problem is I just spent an hour editing the php & template and then trying to get them to work without much luck! I don't know much about doing this kind of thing as you could probably guess.

I changed all the 'Test' areas to 'MORE'

I added the php to the root

I created the template and added 'MORE' where applicable

I made sure the global path was correct

and nothing worked! Have I overlooked something!

i have some large files i want to make available to certain usergroups, but not other. the files are way too large to upload as "attachments" with vb so i would have to upload them via ftp and then just post a link in a thread...of course this means the only way to prevent people from downloading it is to prevent them from seeing the thread at all, which is not my intention.

with this new way of making a vb page, is there any way to do what i am trying to do?

any help would be great.

    {

        header("Location: $_REQUEST[filename]");

    }

}



?>

Be sure to change the path to the global.php and the usergroupid as well (currently it's 6 for admins only).

Also, save this code in a file such as download.php and then you can use the file by linking to it like http://www.example.com/forum/downloa...=something.php which will download www.examlpe.com/forum/files/something.php if the user is an administrator.

The above is exactly what I want to do. Can someone tell me where I should add the new php code please. Also how would I FTP into these pages...just a little confused at the moment!

Thanks
