Worked :)

Yeah but it creates a major bug.

Please undo the change I gave you, and follow step 3 in the first post again. :)

Tell me if the title of the thread is not appropriate. :)

Does this work ok or not?
I want to release it as soon as possible, but I want to make sure it works perfect first! :D

Very nice Chen, well done :)

Well,

I have all the links I need insatalled currently and have found that they all show up correctly in the WOL. I don't know if the hash statement is necessary or not with this hack but if not I really don't have any more ideas for it. It seems to be doing what it should be doing. :D


Haven't found any quirks. Might want to release this one if no one has any more suggestions.

Thanks Hooper, these are great news. :D
Thank you all for testing this hack, I'll be releasing it soon. :)

Welcome. :)

Hello all.

I thought that I would jump on the bandwagon and test this out.
Everything appears to be working fine here with 2.2.1.

Great job.

Just confirming - works perfectly in 2.2.1.

I have a suggestion: explain to use how to incorporate home-made files that reside in the directory of vbulletin.


For instance:

http://www.kurafire.com/files/thecouch/portal2.php

http://www.kurafire.com/files/thecouch/ is the directory of my board, and the portal2.php is a home-made portal page that lists 50 threads that have last had a reply in (excluding threads from a private forum). (oh, and portal.php lists 250 instead of 50).

Now, can we just list portal2.php in the input panel of this hack and it'll work already? That's all I want to know, how to make that work :)

(I read it already works, with some editing, for the vbstats hack)

If portal2.php requires global.php, then yes you can simply list it using the hack. :)

No, it doesn't use global.php. It only creates an opening to the forum's database, runs one query and creates an output of that.

How would I go and include global.php for it? I want to know that because I want to use some of the global functions in the new version of the portal2.php page (which will actually LOOK like something, unlike now).

just add it to the file and it'll act just like any other vB file.

Great, thanks :)

So what exactly does it allow me to use in my code with that?

While I'm at it: how did you do that awesome "user is away" script ???? That's awesome! :eek:

Edit: nm, I see the hack already. :)

The major advantage is using the sessions vBulletin provides.
Other than that, checking for permission becomes easier, and also templates. You can use templates with that.

Ooh, permissions, THAT I like very much! ^_^

PHP Code:

---

require('./global.php');

just add it to the file and it'll act just like any other vB file.

What are the exact warnings?

Also, how would I go and make my portal2.php adjusted so that it will include the Header and Footer of my default style?? Would that take up a LOT of work?

Any word yet on how I can fix this??

I have installed it at my end and Im getting the 404 error. I can add a who's online location just fine and also deleted it, this all works 100%.

If I click on the file underfilename it goes to the 404 error page:

http://www.skytronic-forums.com/testbest?

Uploaded the admin_online.php from the top post and the one a few posts down and none work.

Am I doing something wrong or is there something Im missing?

Running: 2.2.1

Thanks.

Just add the necessary changes.

Chen,

I haven't found any problems. Added several outside pages and everything seems to be doing super. I've even managed to pull in a news script that ends up using various files and it works super. Ready for release as far as I can see. Thank you for the super hack. :)

I couldn't get it to work that way either JJR. It works properly without including the sessionhash as far as I can see. The only thing I did different is I added the sessionhash to all of my links in the forum. So SiteNews.php has a link with the sessionhash included. In other words I didn't add the sessionhash to the link in the hack, I added the sessionhash to the link in the forums that takes you to that page.

Hope this helps... :)

Erm, but isn't everyone's sessionhash unique etc. etc. ?

Anyway, Hooper do you have the global.php script required at the start of all of those pages (listed in your attached ready.gif above) ??

:)

Easy to install, works perfekt with external pages!
:D
Thanks a lot!
Tom

*nods*

But I still don't know how to fix the three errors I get when I include global.php on a page.. :(

(see posts #59 and #61 in this thread, for the details)

My global.php (I assume this is the one in the root directory, not the ./admin/ directory) is untouched (never edited it), and my external files are in the very same directory. I keep all my external pages that extract data from my vB-database in the same directory, cos yes that's a lot easier for everything. :D

Anyway, no, I doubt it's a path error. The two lines (85 and 88) in my global.php are:


if ($HTTP_GET_VARS['HTTP_POST_VARS']['action'] ==
$HTTP_POST_VARS['action']) {
unset($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']);
}
$HTTP_POST_VARS['action'] = trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']);


(with the second line as 85, and the last line as 88)

Maybe I ought to try this online instead of on my own computer (set up as apache+php+mysql) - that might be it?
