You are my Hero! :up: :)

Thank You Logician for all, your job is magnificent...will install today the release for 4.x :up:

yeeessss... Bless you Logician... I will donate to you soon.. againg thanks for your hard work in getting this back to us.. And best of all , all my old stuff was still there... :)

Seem to upgrade AOK, the templates are still there and editable, but they don't show up when looking at them through the normal method.

I.E - http://www.uoforums.net/view.php?pg=info_forumrules

When I click edit, I can see the text, I save it, but it doesn't show on the page.

The conditional syntax can be wrong. Try to put the same text into a regular vb template and see if it works. If it gives an error, there must be a problem in template conditionals etc.

If you still can't find it, give me admin cp access and ftp access and I can check it for you.

Thanks for updating this!!

I upgraded with no problem on my test board.

I did have one question though:

At the top of the page in the bar where the title usually is, I am getting this:

Page Visit Log: (name of the template)

Then, under it, I get the actual friendly template name. What is wrong? Is this a setting I need to adjust?

Thanks so much for your good work.

Sorry, not quite understood. Can you please show me a sample URL?

Hi. Since it is my test site, it is not public yet, but maybe this photo will help explain what I am asking about:


Attachment 119960

To restate the question:

When I create a new webtemplate page, there are two boxes at the top of the page. One is for the WebTemplate Name and the next is for the User Friendly Name. After creating the page, when I visit the page, the webtemplate name displays as: Page Visit Log : (WebTemplate Name) not the User Friendly Name. That name displays under in a sub-heading.

I want to know if there is a way to not have the "Page Visit Log :" name and just have the friendly name that people can easily understand?

I hope I made my question more clear. Thanks so much for your help.

I just figured out that this only happens in the Two Column Theme. It appears that
might be the cause, but will wait to see what you say. Thanks so much.

Logician, you are my VB hero. Thank you so bloody much!!

Yes, you are correct. :) Please edit this section as:

With the recent vBulletin flaw, I've had hackers bombarding my site through Google search that finds my version being annunced on every webtemplate. How do I remove the vb version number at the bottom?

edit /includes/wt_include.php, find:

after that add:

After creating the custom pages and visiting them, my "who's online" is displaying as "unknown location /x.png" ... any idea what I'm doing incorrectly to have it display this way?

FYI: I am also using a custom redirect for vBSEO which may or may not have anything to do with it. Just figured I'd throw that out there in case it could be part of the issue.

WebTemplates has a built-in pluggin to show correct locations in WOL. Your problem is vbseo. Since it is changing URL of the webtemplates forcefully, webtemplates pluggin is not recognizing them anymore.

I suggest to disable vbseo for webtemplates urls (view.php)

Thank you for the suggestion Logician.

By disabling vBSEO for webtemplate urls, does that mean that I cannot rewrite the custom page urls and have the Who's Online display correctly?

In other words, do I have to choose one or the other?

You don't have to disable vbseo. You can use vbseo in your forum urls but disable it just for webtemplates pages which will fix your problem for who is online issue. vbseo has a "exclusion" list in which you can add "view.php" script of webtemplates so vbseo will go on working but just exclude webtemplate pages in rewriting. :)

I know that I don't have to disable vBSEO completely, I was just clarifying if I could rewrite the URLs and have the ability to view my "Who's Online" correctly. If not, then I won't worry too much about the "Who's Online" piece.

webtemplates has a built-in seo which you can enable in the options. After you except view.php from vbseo, you can turn it on and who is online will display these urls fine as it is builtin.

Logician, I had not seen these options and completely forgot about it (since I installed your mod a long time ago and just now started to use it more) .... thanks for the info!

So, could I change the "view_" to "info_" in the .htaccess data or would that mess things up with the mod?

FYI: I sent a donation to you for your great support of your mod (and removal of tagline). Thanks! :up:

Yes you can do that. Just remember to change $WT_SEO_url_prefix variable in the wt_include.php file too though

I am using the WebTemplates to make How-To pages. I would like to give the users a printer friendly page option.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? I would really like to use CSS to do it, but my attempts have been unsuccessful.

This seems to be a way to do the printer-friendly option: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/s...9&postcount=10

Please let us know if it works for you, good luck :up:

You can create a webtemplate theme for printer friendly pages. Then create clones of your webtemplates and make them use this theme. Finally link these clones from original webtemplates with printer friendly links.

If you need an sample html code for printer friendly page, you can check vbulletin template named "printthread".

I've been using Logician's WebTemplates for around 3-years to manage my raffle pages. It has always made the pages seem as though they are 100% a part of the forum.

I updated VB to 4.0x last night and dumped my pants when I realized that LWT wasn't working. Thank God I found the LWT update in this thread. The update was simple and all my templates remained fully functional.

Thank you for an outstanding product!

+1

Thanks for your efforts!

I've released 4.x version in its own thread:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=250202

I'm following the development of the XenForo forums - which the best VB developers are bringing out, with great interest. It's a lovely system with very attentive support frokm Kier and Mike - due out by end of this month I think.

XenForo has a Pages feature which does some of what your templates do. They provide a page with forum header and footer, user permissions integration and integration in forum hierarchy. I bet they were inspired by Logician.

What XF Pages doesn't do though is provide for bbcode editing. It's html.
While I can do that it's slower and my moderators c an't do it. So I do hope you're going to polish up XF Pages dear Logician to give us a bbcode editor on them with a nice mod.

Considering they are already making it a built-in feature, why don't they provide bbcode editing too? I bet their forum system would have WYSIWYG editor, so it shouldn't be too difficult for its devs to bring it into their pages. Do they tell why not?

Thank you..

Logician I totally agree. I was asking and asking for it and so were others.
Kier said it was not a difficult thing / would be an easy mod. Nor did he rule out adding it to the core XF. But a) it would interfere with the template syntax (I thin k that's what he said, meaning the bits of code like conditionals you can add in?) and b) it wasn't on the priority list.

I too made the point that we were using a WYSWYG editor whenever we wrote a forum post so this was much the same thing. I saw others saying this. I guess the only bit that fits this point is the one about code conflict? <shrug>

To me this is a major flaw. For one thing the modding community at XF is enthusiastic but not very developed. There are few mods of any substance. (Possibly because XF is designed on unfamiliar lines.) But I was trailing for a WYSWYG editor in my signature on daily posts for weeks with no response. So it's all a definitely later later situation.

Quite a few admins were very sniffy about it all - one even said you shouldn't be an admin if you can't code htrml !!!!
But although I can do it, it's a pain in the backside and much slower to log into admin, find the section, and code the page, instead of clicking on the page with usergroup access and just updating some info.
Also it means I can't delegate to my mods - forum mods need many social skills and it's a rare bird that has both these and html.

So finally I find the XFPages a lovely starter but pretty well unusable except in a small scale way - a FAQ or forum rules, or a handful of pages.
Whereas with WYSWYG on the frontend like your Templates we have a highly controllable cms - I use the VBSide Columns mod as well.

Thank you again and again for your excellent excellent mod. A real classic.

Quick question Logician ;)

I have the following 4 tables in my db, I assume these are from when I had your old web template system installed, would it be safe to delete these tables or are they still used with this version?

wt35_query 7.5 KB 2.0 KB 0 Yes
wt35_theme 10.1 KB 2.0 KB 0 Yes
wt35_visitlog 288 Bytes 3.0 KB 0 Yes
wt35_webtemplate 1.35 MB 3.0 KB 0 Yes

These are part of webtemplates 3.7 version (and you are now in ITS thread). If you mean you upgraded to 4.x version, then yes they can be dropped as mentioned in the "UPGRADE FROM VERSION 3.x.TXT" file of WT 4.x version.

Thanks. :)

p.s. I'm still on vb 3.8, so if you add any updates to the 4.x version, don't forget about us mortals further down the food chain. ;)

Thanks for the awesome hack :up:

If you are on vb 3.8, then please do not remove these tables. 3.7/3.8 versions use same (these) tables. They are only obselete in 4.x version.

Actually for now, 4.x users are mortals down the food chain because I myself is also using 3.5.x version. ;)

Cool, thanks. :)

Good to hear :up::up::up:

For some of my forums it would be great if I could set a redirect so after a reply the user goes to a specific page.
I just want this on selected forums. If anyone can help please let me know.

yes i installed this mod today exactly the way it tells u in the install instructions and now i got some kinda error saying:

This is vb 3.7 version of the hack. Are you sure you didn't install into a vb4.x board?

yes im sure this is the right install cause my vbulletin forum is 3.8 and this hack is suppose to be for 3.7 and 3.8 my forum is xws-hd.com/forum
