Well thanks for your time anyway.

Did you add the template to the MASTER STYLE or just to one of your styles? And is that style the default style for unregistered users?

What's the CSS page for this page? Is it vbulletin.css

It's all the defaults that you get from the headinclude template. Yes, vbulletin.css is one of them.

They are working as defined - both of these are from the reset-fonts.css file:

HTML Code:

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {font-size:100%;font-weight:normal;}body, div, dl, dt, dd, ul, ol, li, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, pre, code, form, fieldset, legend, input, button, textarea, p, blockquote, th, td {margin:0;padding:0;}

If you want it different, give it a class and define it yourself.

Perfect, thank you so much for posting this.

I do have a general question. For my eFiction bridge mod I have been exporting the templates into variables that I can then use in the external template system. I figured out how to make this work by using the following code.

Code:

$templater = vB_Template::create('header');

$header = $templater->render();  



$templater = vB_Template::create('footer');

$footer = $templater->render();  



$templater = vB_Template::create('headinclude');

$headinclude = $templater->render();  





$templater = vB_Template::create('navbar');

$navbar = $templater->render();

This ends up being a lot of repetitive code. Is there a better way to get the templates into the variables?

You should not have to create/render any of those you posted there. When you go to render your own template, you would have this second line here to render those templates automatically for your page:

PHP Code:


		
			
$templater = vB_Template::create('your_template');
    $templater->register_page_templates();
    $templater->register('your_variable', $your_variable);
print_output($templater->render());

The problem is that I need the individual templates in variables. eFiction uses it's own template system and, barring a major rewrite of that code, the best solution I have is to export the templates, then import them into it's system.

... forget it, missed the answers on the next page :)

What I can not run

In this thread the

created tes.php
created test template

did not change anything

Can not demonstrate this

PHP Code:


		
			
// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####
$pagetitle = 'My Page Title';

How do I show?

Regards

Whoops. Find this line in test.php

PHP Code:


		
			
$templater->register('pagetitle', 'Test Page');

And change to:

PHP Code:


		
			
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);

This does not exist

PHP Code:


		
			
$templater->register('pagetitle', 'Test Page');

I want to show here is a variable
Example:

PHP Code:


		
			
// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####
$pagetitle = 'My Page Title';

$adem = 'Hello World';

HTML - template test

HTML Code:

    <h2 class="blockhead">Title</h2>

    <div class="blockbody">

      <div class="blockrow">







        Text





{vb:raw adem}







      </div>

    </div>

Does not appear on the page

--------------- Added [DATE]1259433584[/DATE] at [TIME]1259433584[/TIME] ---------------

First message changed?

I have to add the following for $adem variable is?

$templater = vB_Template::create('TEST');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
$templater->register('adem', $adem);
print_output($templater->render());

Yes, you must register any variable you plan to use in your template.

Thank you very
Now okay

How to show Whats going on Box on this new page?

I don't know, that article hasn't been updated. I would think the instructions are pretty much the same though.

Thanks I use this article its very helphull for me
Can we add a widjet with a collum in the new page ?

Ok I have tried every which way from sunday to understand how to be able to use this with a certain group of my scripts with no luck. Keep in mind any responses may have to be "dumbed down" ;)

Here is an example of how these scripts are set up.

page is originally called as such

PHP Code:


		
			
testpage.php?sub=gen_form

testpage.php would contain code

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

include_once('/path/to/test.class.php');

$gen_test = new test_gen;

?>

as well as

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php 



if($_GET['sub'] == 'gen_form')

{    

    $gen_test->gen_test_form(); 

}

if($_POST['sub'] == 'Generate Test')

{

    $gen_test->gen_test();

}

if($_POST['sub'] == 'Preview Test')

{

    $gen_test->preview_test();

}



?>

Of course all of the true scripting is located at /path/to/test.class.php

can anybody be of help? I am hoping with an example I can finish the rest of my scripts which are similar and maybe get a better understranding so that I may do my other scripts which are different.

And what if i have more than 10 Variables in a Template?
Do i have to register each variable ?

PHP Code:


		
			
$templater->register('your_variable', $your_variable);

$templater->register('your_variable2', $your_variable2);

$templater->register('your_variable3', $your_variable3);

.

.

$templater->register('your_variable10', $your_variable10);

Does this way loose Performance (Many Class calls) ?
Or is there a Array ?

In my opinion the old way was more easier than this !

You could put all youre variables into an array. Then you have only to register the arrayvariable.

Yep, that is what I did to a few of my mods. I had $variable1 and $variable2 and $variable3, etc. and just through them all into an array - $myarray['variable1'] and $myarray['variable2'] and $myarray['variable3'], etc. Then I just registered $myarray.

Thanks...

Ok nice, but do you know the Advantage of this way to use Variables in a Template ?

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228078" target="_blank">https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228078</a>

I like it Lynne... between this and the nav plugin, my life is now made a lot easier than having to sit down and come up with it myself. Very much appreciated. Custom page with menu... excellent.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1261010072

Is is mandatory that I have the text case of there vars to be all in caps in the test.php and in the name of the template?

PHP Code:

$globaltemplates = array('TEST',);

PHP Code:

$templater = vB_Template::create('TEST');

How do I get it so that I can retain the case of my test.php but change the case in the template from TEST to test?
I plan on making quite a few custom pages so would it be possible to place these php files in another directory?

1. No, you don't need all caps. You just need to be consistent when you use it. If it's in all small letters in the $globaltemplates area, then use all small letters in the $templater.
2. Sure, but you'll have to make sure when you include the global.php page, or any other scripts, you'll have to make sure the path to them are correct.

I get the error:

Code:

Warning: require_once(./global.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home1/riptidep/public_html/unusualplants/index.php on line 27



Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home1/riptidep/public_html/unusualplants/index.php on line 27

I tried the other global method from the posts and I get a blank page. My template is under my default page.

Code:

Code:

<?php



// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);



// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################



define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'index.php');

define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);  

// 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('INDEX',

);



// pre-cache templates used by specific actions

$actiontemplates = array();



// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

require_once('./global.php');





// #######################################################################

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

// #######################################################################



$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'Home'));

$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);



// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####

$pagetitle = 'Unusual Plants Home Page';



// ###### NOW YOUR TEMPLATE IS BEING RENDERED ######



$templater = vB_Template::create('INDEX');

$templater->register_page_templates();

$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);

$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);

print_output($templater->render());



?>

Thanks

And are you putting this file in the same directory as all your other vbulletin files? If not, you need to do a chdir to get the global.php file.

My index file is in unusualplants.net/
The forum is located at unusualplants.net/forums

I tried changing the directory at the beginning of the code (never changing back), right before the global line(never changing back), at the beginning and changing the directory back after the global line, and right before the global line and changed it back after. I get a blank page for each one.

I used this for changing the directory:

Code:

chdir('forums');

and this for moving back:

Code:

chdir('../');

Thanks

When you added the template, did you add it to the style you are currently using to browse your forum?

First, make sure the path is correct - it should be the full path to your vb forums directory.

Check your error_logs (if you don't know where they are, ask your host) to see if anything is in there.

the forum.php file is located @ unusualplants.net/forums/

(I'm not sure which time this is set on)

For PHP:

Thanks for all of your help

It looks like you didn't do your chdir correctly. You need to do the FULL path:

PHP Code:


		
			
chdir ('/path/to/your/forums');

Okay Lynne I am in need of your assistance.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/12/33.png

How do i get it so that the nav button "Game Nights" is selected?

If you defined THIS_SCRIPT at the top of your page, you should use it in your condition for your tab. You should post for help regarding this in the thread where you got the tab code.

Thanks for the help lynne, and next time I will say which one i used, btw it was yours lol.

I don't get anything in the error log either.

And is your template named INDEX (*exactly* - capital letters too).
