Problem: User is Moderator as primary group.. They are also a member of two additional groups that are not allowed access.. Moderator can't view page..

Ok, I'm disabling right away.

NOT, this is a great mod.

IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX:

If you are using Webtemplates version 3.5.x or 3.6.00 or 3.6.01, please upload the attached 2 files into your server which fixes a security problem in the hack.

File wt_include.php should be uploaded to /includes/ folder.
File view.php should be uploaded to default forum folder (where showthread.php exists).

After the upload your webtemplate footer should say "version 3.6.02".

This is a quick fix for a security problem which is reported to me yesterday (Thanks to Devile!) and I'll update this thread and the hack if I further develop the patch algorithm.

If you have downloaded the hack ZIP file in the first post after this message of me, you already get the patched 3.6.02 version. If you are using old webtemplates for vbulletin 3.0.x, you don't have to apply any patches.

updated mine

Thanks Logician.

Thanks a lot Logican appreciated on the quick fix...

Just a quicky

I have a few uncached templates, I have used this since 3.5 version and not upgraded anything other than the forum to the latest version, these are the uncached

Uncached templates:

WebTemplates_AdminPanel (1)
WebTemplates_LoginCode (1)
WebTemplates_NowBrowsing (1)

How do i fix these please,, may not respond till tomoz...going bed in a mo!

Thanks Logician!

Thanks Logician and Devile for the quick fix!

thanks and updated :)

Thanks - updated :)

Web Templates 3.5x or vBadvanced CMPS? I am looking at using one for vB 3.6.5 along with Zoints and NuWiki, and I am open to any opinions about which CMS mod is better. We will have 5-6 staffers at launch, so I am mostly concerned with user friendliness and stability.

Thanks!

I am in a similar position as tminus... and have a hard time making a decision.

Any recommendations?

vbadvanced's main focus is your site main page. Webtemplates main focus is your site's other pages like "about us", "donate to us", our press existence" etc.

So I don't think you have to choose one between these two. If you want to create a vb powered site home page, you should go with vbadvanced and if you want to create vb powered other site pages, you have to go with Webtemplates. If you want to do both, you can use both too.

So why don't you just install both and try each of them, then decide? Both are free and both are quite easy to install or uninstall.

This looks outstanding and exactly what I was looking for! Can't wait to try it out this weekend.

I'm brand new to vBulletin - do you have any slick ways or recommendations for creating menus to link to a bunch of pages?

I am testing both but I was just looking for some kind of comparison. Wasn't trying to bug you Logician, but thanks for response!:) Searching wasn't coming up with any results, mainly because "Web Template" obviously produces all kinds of other results. Anyways, I hadn't thought of using both. To be honest, I have been more impressed with the Web Templates 3.5x sample sites. Leatherneck.com has a nice look to it. So I will go install both and see whats up.

Any other passionate WT3.5x or vBadvanced CMPS users please let us know what you think. Any conflicts with having both installed? Which one handles what the best? etc. So I get them installed and start using them, but having some discussion about both will help me and others use them more effectively. Thanks!

Actually, it is possible to empower your other pages with VBA too. But I think this is an easier way.


Personally, I just like those modules, so I've chosen VBA myself.

Great job! Thank you.

Hi Logician. Problem here

My PHP parse method versions of my webtemplates died :( Basically my webtemplates work just fine except when I select the PHP parse method, then they don't. I have no idea why. I rely on this for everything. Here is an example

Here is the phptest http://www.makeuptalk.com/forums/view.php?pg=phptest

EDIT I found where it's causing me issues. I have this in the top part of the templates:
If I comment those out, it works. username doesn't seem to work now.

Can you help?

Why do you need this code and what exact error you get?

NM, Logician, I coded a work around. Thanks!

thanks for the update... uploaded and all square...

I have a question, is there away to take the $nowbrowsing feature from one particular webtemplate and place it on forumhome?

any info is appreciated.

i nearly forget this wonderful hack...and forgot also to click install...now i have...so thanks for all of this wonderful and useful hack mod,....updated too...use it a lot to my site vb.3.6.6.

keep it up bro. coder logician....

best regards...

;)

ok i have my custom page into hot or not page is there somehow i can get a rating system?

As for tminus:

We use both, vbAdvanced for the home page and WT for special content pages (I have a sub-site, some admin utils, and a dynamically generated 'price guide' on the WT).

Why is this mod marked unsupported? It seems like it is quite supported to me. Can anyone explain?

I have way a lot of hacks (most of them are old now but still) and if you check them, all of them are marked as unsupported and this is intentional. As a matter of fact, I do my BEST to give support for all of them, I deal with ALL security related issues (if any), ALL major bugs (if any), MOST of the minor bugs (if any) and reply a lot of questions but I don't like to "make promises" like giving support because this disappoints people if they can't get a reply for a question and I can't promise to answer ALL questions at all times.

So my personal preferrance is to mark my hacks as "unsupported" but then give as much support as I can afford with my time. And this is usually, for the most times and hopefully "a very good support". ;)

I've installed this before and it worked great BUT,

I had to reinstall it after the forum had to be reinstalled, and this time I'm having issues. When I try to create an HTML template, it does not display my forum's top (banner, navbar, surrounding color) or bottom (including the helpful box that usually appears telling admins how many have viewed, who's viewing, who's allowed to view, etc).

It just displays whatever HTML code I plug in, nothing more or less. Before, if I did this it worked just fine (keeping all of the forum stuff). What am I doing wrong this time? Or what changed?

Select a theme when creating your WT.

If you mean where it says: "Using a Theme?", I have no options in the drop-down menu aside from the one that says: "No Parent Template (This is an independent web template)". This is despite the fact that along with the default vBulletin theme, we mainly use a second theme I created based off the default. I don't understand why they're not being detected.

Yes this is what I meant. You are suppose to have some default themes there which come with the installation. Have you applied installation step 3? You may want to repeat it to install the default webtemplates, themes, headers and footers.

There we go. :) Step 3 must have been accidentally skipped this time around for some reason. Thanks for your help!

Is there a way to get the upcoming events on webtemplates if so can someone give me a pointer or 2

Thanks
Delw

Can any clever coder (or Logician himself) use webtemplates to create a site map like this one?
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/info.php?do=sitemap
Got to be a popular template. Thanks in advance!

I´m creating a new webtemplate but nothing appears, only the text... what´s the problem?

But says "No Themes Exist at the moment.."

Do I have to create one? if I have to create, what do I have to include to make the footer, header, background, navbar, etc. appear as any other forum page?

Then please read the messages below the one I pointed out. You have the exact problem the user I have replied have.

Solved. Thanks!

This has probably been answered before, but I really don't feel like searching 48 pages of posts in order to find it...yes...you can call me "lazy".

Anyway...I want to shout out "Kudos"! I love this hack!

Here's my problem...

I've created some templates I'm going to use as a resources directory. I've parsed the text as HTML.

I've updated the .htaccess file in the root of my forum's directory. I'm linking to these pages (within the templates) using links like the one below:

http://www.saviour-pc.com/forums/view_resources.htm

I have two skins...the vbDefault Style and a Smooth Fluid Style. The templates show up fine in each skin, however, if I try to switch skins while on one of the template pages...it's a "no go". So if you visit the above link and scroll down to the bottom and try to switch styles...you'll see waht I mean.

I know I'm doing something wrong...what am I missing?

Update: Never mind...I found the answer in the last few paragraphs of the manual...DUH!

Great hack - wish I had discovered it earlier. Great work Logician - many thanks.

Slight problem..when attempting to export templates, getting the following:


In a post a few months ago, you requested that 3.6 users with export issues to drop you an email for a fix..still the case, or..?

WT v.3.6.02 on 3.6.7.pl1

As a sidenote - Is there a repository of WT templates in/around somewhere where we could add templates for others to peruse?


Thanks again for all your effort on this and your other work Logician :cheers:

It's a great addon, but where do I disable the "WebTemplate Quick Info Panel for Admins", which prompts everyone to "[Donate for WebTemplates Project]"

I don't want this to display on my site, where do I remove it?
