No, the php in the CODE does not work - the PHP bit is not run.
The image I showed you is an example of what it SHOULD look like if the PHP worked.
I suspect what I need to do is alter the hack itself to process the header and footer so that php script is run.
I'm confidant with PHP but hacking vBulletin is something entirely different.

Here is what I tried (and IT WORKED!!!)

Edit your index.php file and find:

require_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php');

Below that, add:

PHP Code:


		
			
// effort to help



globalize($_REQUEST, array(

'file' => STR,

'title' => STR

));



$file="announcement.htm";



$exts = "html, htm, txt, shtml";

$formats = explode(",",str_replace(" ", "", strtolower($exts)));

function checkfile($file, $formats) {

  $ext = strtolower(substr($file,-strpos(strrev($file),'.')));

  if(!in_array($ext, $formats)) return FALSE;

  if(!file_exists($file)) return FALSE;

  if( substr($file,0,5) != "./../" && substr($file,0,7) != "http://" ) return TRUE; 

  return FALSE;

}



if (checkfile($file, $formats)) {

$fd = fopen ($file,"r");

$buffer = fread($fd,filesize($file));

fclose ($fd);

$buffer = str_replace('"',"'",$buffer);

} else {

$errormessage = "There is an error with this link: $file";

}

// $navbits[""] = $pagetitle;

// $navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);



eval("\$HTML = \"$buffer\";");



// end of effort to help

Remember to change $file="announcement.htm" in the code above, to whatever your file name is.

Then, go into your FORUMHOME template and find :

HTML Code:

$navbar

Below that, add:

HTML Code:

$HTML

It worked on my forum, but you might have to play a bit with it, I am not sure if errors are handled etc.

That's a nice, bit of code, but no, I want to include an HTML file at the top of one specific forum.

OK, then instead of FORUMHOME, go to FORUMDISPLAY and right below the navbar enter the following code:

[html]
<if condition="$forumid=XYZ">
$HTML
</if>

Remember to change XYZ with the forum id of the forum you want the external HTML file to show. Let me know if it works.

Again, that's great but it's a whole chunk of code for the header for ONE forum. That's a lot of code to include if you have 30 forums.
Might it not be easier to allow the hack to work on a bit of PHP code?

Make sure you follow this instruction:

PHP Code:


		
			
-----------------------STEP 4-----------------------------

This will put the header/footer on every thread in the forum



In Template SHOWTHREAD FIND:

<------------------------------------------->

$navbar

<------------------------------------------->

BELOW ADD:

<------------------------------------------->

$foruminfo[forumheader]

<------------------------------------------->



FIND:

<------------------------------------------->

$footer

<------------------------------------------->

ABOVE ADD:

<------------------------------------------->

$foruminfo[forumfooter]

Thanks to sv1cec for trying to get this to work for Spinball. Unfortunately, vBulletin won't parse PHP in ANY template. I think what you are looking for is a completely different hack. I'm not sure how it would work. Sorry :(

(P.S. New hip is healing nicely. Thanks for the nice notes :)).

That's not what it's for. What do you have in mind?

Lionel

I am into saving space. Placing an image above does not look good, and pushes page down. Where as there is a nice empty spot between avatar and ratings. I could place a forum specific image in there.

ChurchMedia

10-09-2004 02:40 AM

Well, you could try putting the $foruminfo[forumheader] (or footer) variable into the postbit template and see what happens. I think it should work just fine. Keep in mind that it will put the image (or whatever) in EVERY post. If you try it, let us know if it worked.

Lionel

10-09-2004 03:11 AM

not necessarily. I am currenly using conditionals to display images in first post only, like CNN.

I tried already and nothing happened. That is why I asked.

ChurchMedia

10-09-2004 03:45 AM

Oh ---

I guess the $foruminfo variable isn't being passed to the postbit template. Somehow the post needs to know which forum it's in and look up the header info for that forum. I'm not sure what would need to be done. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Feel free to modify my code for a new hack and good luck :)

I went in "important and maintenance" and "execute sql query".

I tried:

ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `forumheader` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL AFTER `description`;
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `forumfooter` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL AFTER `forumheader`;

and got this:

An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1064
error desc: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ';
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `forumfooter` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL AF

Why?

ChurchMedia

10-19-2004 06:14 AM

Be sure to put your forum prefix before 'forum' in both lines. So it might look like this:

ALTER TABLE `vb_forum` ADD `forumheader` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL AFTER `description`;
ALTER TABLE `vb_forum` ADD `forumfooter` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL AFTER `forumheader`;

OK, I think I am missing a step.

I altered the DB, changes the forums file, and made the two template mods -- and I see nothing. I don't even know where to add the header and footer.

Help!

Does anyone have any idea how to get this thing to parse PHP? I really do need this functionality. Alternatively, can anyone tell me why vbulletin does not parse php naturally without having to do all these workarounds? Not the usual "security issues" line, I am praying... :ermm:

The inability to parse PHP is no minor issue. In my eyes it's a really massive problem.

this sounds great. so effectively i could do the following?

at the moment i have an Xbox gaming website at www.xboxworld.com.au

if i wanted to start up another couple of websites, ps2, gamecube etc i could create subforums for each one. and then apply this hack and have custom graphics at the footer and header of each one so that they appeared to be different forums, unique to each differnt site? ie; the existing xbox one with its existing header and footer, a ps2 one with a new header and footer and a gamecube one with a new header and footer etc etc repeat until dizzy.

i could then effectively have one forum that appeared to be any number of different ones as there's a hack to hide forums from the index of the main forum that they live under right?

Very nice. For more functionality use a random image cycler if you have more than one sponsor for a particular forum. (sorry if that has been mentioned)

Very simple, just place the OBJECT tag and associated code in the editor box. I am using a flash banner that stops upon rollover and resumes upon rollout and is hyperlinked to each sponsor's ad. Works great!

Only thing to keep in mind when using FLASH, is that your drop-down boxes will go "below" the flashmovie and not work properly. (it will appear as if your flash file is covering up the drop-down boxes) I placed the code for this hack ABOVE the navbar, so they are unaffected by the flash file....

You clearly don't have a closequote after the image tag... Simple HTML error.
