Works fine with with 3.7.1, and the only difference there is some bug/security fixes.

So I don't end up making like 10 pages, is there a way I can do like the misc.php page and be like test.php?do=mypage

I wish to make a custom page, but also have links that go to a different subpage within the same link.

Alot of people seem to have troubles prohibiting guests from accessing their custom pages, I've seen a couple of different methods but none of which seem to work.

Here's what I did, and it works just fine:

Code:

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

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

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



$navbits = array(); 

$navbits[$parent] = 'Manage Account'; 



$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits); 

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

// ######################## START CIP EDITION #############



if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == 0)

{

        $show['permission_error'] = 1;

        eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");'); 

}

elseif (isset($_REQUEST['do']))

{

//And my code goes on, but that's none of your business *evil grin*

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('YourTemplateWhateverItIsNamed') . '");');

}

For some reason this has issues with my submit button. It is suppose to convert text to hex, but instead it refreshes. Any idea?

Code:

<input id="box" value="YourHexCodeHere" maxlength="48" size="90" name="text" type="text"><input onclick="runHex(document.text2hex.text.value);return false" generate="" value="Convert" type="submit">

Cip	07-07-2008 12:07 AM

^ This has nothing to do with the article, but to solve your problem I think all you need to do is change the "type" attribute from "submit" into "button"

Mine does show to guests and members , hints the Register Link on the page

Its HTML dropped in to a VB powered page that this mod creates , Your test page does not have this mod on it , you have to make a vb powered page then on the template insert html code to get what you want .

Land a version of Front Page 2003 , Open a new page and click design and knock your self out then switch to code and copy everything between the Body tags and put in your vb template and your done

There is no mod here , its just html

Design the page in html and use this article to build a vb powered page and paste the html code in the new template

Using this method, is there anyway I can pass the content of the page into the template from the script? Essentially, I'm wondering if I can replace the value "Text" with something that is generated by the php script. Any hints would be appreciated.

Quite clear, can you please make an example ?

Suppose I have some pages I need to execute and show : page1.php, page2.php, page3.php
I should create some templates : template1, template2, template3
Then insert the variables : $show1 (containing the html execution of page1.php) into template1, $show2 (containing the html execution of page2.php) into template2 and so on.

But how can I generate/fill (for example) the variables and insert them into the template when I link the user to mysite.com/forums/page2.php ?

Found, may be, I should add a plugin :

Code:

ob_start();

  include('./page2.php');

  $show2 = ob_get_contents();

  ob_end_clean();

Is it ?

And.... what about a change in my page1.php :

PHP Code:


		
			
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('test') . '");');

with

PHP Code:


		
			
Direct execution of template+php code

It's most probably not safe, but, is it working ?

Ok, I apologize for all this asking and answering by myself :D , I've tried and it's working.
Can be a big shortcut, no templates, no plugins, but it's obviously less safe.

LOL :D May be, right. That's what I'm trying to figure it out, I'll be still able to use VB variables, IFs and so on or should I just please myself with the look and style of the forum ?

How can you get your page to auto adapt to the current theme a user is running (ie. font and panel colors)?

Be careful, this is not the correct and safe way to do it, but if you build your test.php page like this :

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1); 
define('GET_EDIT_TEMPLATES', true); 
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'releases'); 
$phrasegroups = array(); 
$specialtemplates = array(); 
$globaltemplates = array(); 
$actiontemplates = array(); 
// require_once('./includes/vba_cmps_include_template.php');
// chdir('/srv/www/www.bodyweb.it/forums/');
 require_once('./global.php'); 
// $vbulletin->options['homeurl'];
        $navbits = array(); 
        $navbits[''] = 'Prodotti'; 
        $navbits = construct_navbits($navbits); 
        eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";'); 
      //  eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('prodotti') . '");'); 

     // **** include code
    //  **** Template HTML echo instead of   eval template and plugin ****

      echo"
      $stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir='$stylevar[textdirection]' lang='$stylevar[languagecode]'>
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] -  Prodotti</title>
$headinclude
<script type='text/javascript' src='./forums/clientscript/vbulletin_global.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='./forums/clientscript/vbulletin_menu.js '></script>
</head>
$header
$navbar


//  **** more code.


$footer
</body>
</html>";
      
      
       
      
?>

You just need one page, you can also include part of header template and footer template

All you really need to do is make a template for each respective style on your forum, using this same tutorial.

Ok, and how to include and execute PHP code into the template?

Digital Jedi

07-25-2008 04:17 PM

No idea. I'm just responding the to the question about how to have a users style show up on that page. In fact, if you have multiple styles, you have to make a template for each style, otherwise you get a blank page.

amcd	07-26-2008 06:57 AM

If you have multiple styles, ideally they should be in a heirarchy. Just add the template to the top level and it will be inherited by child styles.

The question of how to execute php from templates is being asked frequently. The answer is that you cannot. It is not supposed to be that way. The primary objective of templating is to separate logic (php) from presentation (templates).

Search for my posts in this thread. I have explained the whole thing with code examples.

By the way, you can execute code in a plugin but it's a p.i.t.a.

Yes, but for some reason you also told him to change

PHP Code:


		
			
$navbits[$parent] = 'MK1';

PHP Code:


		
			
 $navbits[$parent] = 'Mortal Combat blah blah';

Which is likely why it didn't work.

A completely blank page usually means php error. See the php error log.

Thank you so much for your help!
