Noob question.

If you are saying that the formatting does not look right in your editor while putting in code into terms.php, it shouldn't since the code is contained within a string variable that is passed to the template.

When I use this method to create external pages I will frequently develop the html within a separate file and test it prior to bringing to this template passing system.

CrumbDown 02-10-2012 03:05 PM
Format looks perfect in DreamWeaver.

This does not work in the template:
Code:
<ul>
<li>blah blah</li>
</ul>
Nor:
Code:
<p>blah blah</p>

What code? I have followed the above instructions to create a new template and a new .php file. All is ok. I got a new template: www.mywebsite.com/newpage.php. Perfect yes. But I need to add words/content on that page. By doing so I need to add it in the template which works perfect. But trying to get a paragraph or bullet points does not work. It's like viewing sentences in notepad without word wrap selected.

cellarius 02-11-2012 11:51 AM
If you followed the tutorial, you created
1. a php file
2. a template in AdminCP.

Where do you add your html code, to 1 or 2? You need to add it to 2. It may be that you need to put a div-container around your html, since the formatting of unordered lists and the like will be reset by vB in order to format the page layout.

Do
HTML Code:
<div class="mytext">
<ul>
<li>blah blah</li>
</ul>
</div>
Add, for example, this to additional.css:
HTML Code:
.mytext ul {
        whatever css formatting you want
        }
But this really leads away from this tutorial.

CrumbDown 02-11-2012 12:31 PM
Hi

I have added the first HTML code below:
Code:
<div class="block row">
and no bullet point.

And yes, I have edited the template.

First of all, it works! So it's tough to help without seeing your code. I will show you my approach. I put all of the content into the .php page so I can have the smallest number of templates (2) for doing dozens of pages. Here is the php code with simple content similar to what you want to send:

Code:
// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####

$pagetitle = 'My Page Title';

$bartitle = 'Bar Sub-Title';

$linkcss = '';

$linksjava = '';
       
$pagescript = '';
       
$introstuff = '<div class="article cms_clear restore postcontainer">

        <div style="padding-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px;">Upon joining the website each user shall be classified by their experience level as follows:</div>
       
        <div style="line-height: 140%; margin-left: 30px;">
        <ul>
                <li style="margin-bottom:5px;">0 to 5 forum posts:  New User</li>
                <li style="margin-bottom:5px;">5 to 100 forum posts:  Proficient User</li>
                <li style="margin-bottom:5px;">More than 100 forum posts:  Expert User</li>
                </ul>
        </div>
<br />
</div>';

$graphix = '<div style="text-align: center;" ><A HREF="/index.php">
                        <IMG SRC="/pics/under_construction_02.jpg" ALT="Under Construction"></A>
                        </div>';
As a reminder you need to put this content on the page such as:

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

$templater = vB_Template::create('TMGApage');
$templater->register_page_templates();

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

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

$templater->register('linkcss', $linkcss);
$templater->register('linksjava', $linksjava);
$templater->register('pagaescript', $pagescript);
$templater->register('introstuff', $introstuff);
$templater->register('graphix', $graphix);

print_output($templater->render());

Okay I might have missed this in the sea of posts.

I created my basic page but now I want to include the Widgets on it so it will match the entire website.

How do I add the Widgets and be able to change with the layout manager?

I don't think it has ever been discussed. There is another article in this forum about adding widgets to any page, so you should go read that one.

Hello, I'm starting on a project and I'm not exactly sure how to make it so in the bread crumbs, it shows another page that I made that is only viewable from the first created page.

I'm trying to make a few pages actually that will work off of others. I'm just curious as to how the bread crumbs work.

appsfinder 03-03-2012 10:43 AM
works great

brishi 03-18-2012 07:48 PM
OK, like a few other beginners have more than likely done I started out by using the coding from the vB3 posting which was pointed out to me by cellarius and I was getting a 3 line error. Now that I have switched over to this template I no longer get anything except a white page and if I vie the source code all I get is this :
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

I have looked through 154-20 pages of replies here and could not find an answer to correct myself, so need some help please. I am just using the basic 2 files used on the first page of this article and then will change the basic name to what I need when I know it is working properly.

NEVERMIND - Just kept checking and testing and found my silly error, I had the template as "Test" when it should have been "TEST"...Dohhhh!!! Great article btw Lynne and thanks for sharing!

Cheers,
BriShi

I have a Paid Subscription website, where I am able to ascribe permissions to my forums as well as to my CMS articles. The only parties who can see these pages are me, the Administrator (User Group 6), as well as my Subscribed Members (User Group 9). With this in mind, I have a few questions that I would be grateful for some clarification on:
1. Are these pages considered CMS pages and, if so, are they manageable under the Content Manager of CMS control in the ACP?;
2. If not, will creating these new pages be manageable anywhere in the ACP?;
3. If not, is there some coding that can be done in the default template to where only User Groups 6 and 9 are able to view the constructed pages?
Thank you for your time and for creating this valuable tutorial!

Jack

Rocket2009 03-20-2012 02:46 PM
I don't know about methods (1) and (2). As suggested elsewhere in this thread I effectively use a little code in the php page (not the vBulletin template). Mine looks like:

PHP Code:
// #######################################################################

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

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

if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 6, 7, 5, 15, 13, 9, 11, 16, 12))  
{
// give no permission unless in usergroup x, y, or z
        print_no_permission();
}  

$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'TMGA Logos'));

$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);



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

1. No
2. They are manageable in the Style Manager where you may edit the templates.
3. See the post above this one.

Just add the html in the template to link to the forums.

<a href="forumdisplay.php?f=xx">Form xx</a>

No, I want to be able to display them like if I was on the homepage. How can I do that? I know it's possible somehow.

Copy the php code from the forum.php file and copy the needed template/html from the FORUMHOME template into your custom template.

Then modify the php code to only show those forums.

SavSin 03-28-2012 09:42 PM
So i have finally gotten the hang of working with this type of page haha.. Thanks Lynn.

My question is Is there away to use say a contact form created on a custom page to send a pm to a couple hard coded users and also to post in a specified section of the forums?

"Not the original Contact Us Form from VB"

Of course there is, but you have to code it yourself and I don't have that code handy to just copy/paste it for you. If you need help with that, you should post in the Programming forum with the code you have already written and the problem you are running into.

MacroPhotoPro 03-29-2012 03:00 AM
This may have been covered, but will the Search (and Advanced Search) features work in these new pages?

If not, is there a way to configure this to have it work?

Lynne 03-29-2012 03:18 AM
It will work as far as you may still search posts. But, the information on these pages will not be searchable unless you do something to make them so. (Not anything that is covered in this tutorial.)

Thanks for your response. What would that "something" be :)

If this is not the place for that, where would such a question be posted?

That something would be to write some code to index the text in the search_core (and other) tables. You would probably need to create a new contenttype in the contenttype table in order to index it correctly. If you are unsure how to do this, then you should post in the main vB4 General Discussions forum. You should probably have a little bit of php experience if you are going to write this code.

How about a variation on this that also employs create/edit/delete permissions?

For example, in the other custom pages I want to design, these are going to be for an image-hosting service I am making. I want people to pay a fee to host their images, and I want "everyone" to be able to "see" these images, but where only the Administrator and Paid Subscibers can edit, delete, or create new pages.

Further, the permissions should be configured to where Paid Subscribers are only able to edit/delete their own self-created pages, but to where they can't edit/delete the pages of other Paid Subscribers, while the Administrator can edit/delete anyone's pages.

I know how to do this with my CMS Manager, but because these custom pages we're here aren't controlled by that, how would they be thus-configured by hand?

Thanks!

How do I operate in debug mode, and will this still work if I am not?

I've created the page, and everything works except that users are no longer logged in when visiting the custom page. Clicking any tab or link to navigate away from the page brings me back to the normal logged in state, but the custom page is logged out. How do I fix that?

edit: Found the problem. It's a privacy policy page, and in Options > Site Name / URL / Contact Details the link to the page was the full path (http://sitename.com/forums/privacy.php) instead of relative (privacy.php). Once I made it relative it worked fine.

MacroPhotoPro 04-03-2012 03:58 PM
Code:
<?php

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

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

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'scrImages');
define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);

$specialtemplates = array();

// pre-cache templates used by all actions

$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'Macro Image Hosting'));

$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
print_output($templater->render());

?>

Okay, I have followed your instructions in this tutorial to the letter and am getting a blank test page to generate just fine.

However, the moment I try to add custom code to it, the setup fails. I just did a basic "I am here" insertion, but where you have indicated Your Custom Code Goes Here is generating the quote at the TOP of my test page, rather than in the body where it should be, as follows:


What am I doing wrong and why is the "I am here" quote being displayed at the top of the page, rather than in the body where it should be going?

Thanks for any help!

Jack

Lynne 04-03-2012 04:27 PM
You need to insert any text you want on the page into the template. You cannot use echo. You would need to do something like:
PHP Code:
$message = 'I am here'; 
and in the appropriate place near the bottom, add:
PHP Code:
$templater->register('message', $message); 
And then in the template, put this where you want the text to appear:
HTML Code:
{vb:raw message}

MacroPhotoPro 04-03-2012 05:38 PM
Okay, I have that bit working right now, thank you.

In order to create an actual page now, can I just use HTML tags, or do I have to register more code with the template?

Thanks again.

Lynne 04-03-2012 11:39 PM
If you have static content for your page, you may just want to type it into the template directly. Using variables is usually something you'd only want to do if you are using php to define some text.

Okay thank you. Moving on from a basic block of text, what if I just want to make a basic HTML template within my custom page? For example:

Code:
<h1>My Title</h1>

My text

<ul>
  <li>Cameras</li>
    <ul>
      <li>DSLRs</li>
      <li>Point & Shoot</li>
    </ul>
  <li>Lenses</li>
  <li>Etc.</li>
</ul>

More text.

<a href="mailto:myemail">My Email</a>
How would I set the template/php page up? In other words, you had me place {vb:raw imghost_content} just to put "I am here," what kind of variable would I need to add to construct a basic HTML page?

Thanks again!!

cellarius 04-04-2012 05:15 AM
Use the template code given in the article to create a custom vBulletin page. To just create any html page (without showing the forum framework) use standard html page architecture (basically, you'll find that in the template code in the article, too).

I placed the simple code I put up top in the "your code goes here" element of the .php page, and my text showed up, but my HTML did not.

I assume I am missing something :confused:

Please give us a URL to view the page. My guess is the HTML did show up, but your CSS is causing it to not do what you want.

Search this article for discussions on the problems using <li> on this page and the CSS you need to add to fix it.
