Hi Logician,

Nice hack installed v easy on the test forum - I have done the donation its so good

Confirmed OK vbAdvanced 3.0 RC2 and vb 3.6.8

I have installed a couple of templates just wanted to ask how I get the template to 'open' on page load within a module.

if you have a quick glance at the test site www.crosslight.co.uk

you see an aboutus link at the top - I wish to have this open on page load as default

any help much appreciated

Fantastic mod! I got question before installation. I'd like to host my users sites @ my board. Is it any possibility to give users permission to make their own simple pages?

You can, though giving end-users their own pages to play with requires some Admin work. You would set up a webtemplate 'theme' (examples in the install) and then create individual web template pages as your users require. The web template page is displayed inside the theme, so the end users cannot alter the theme itself, only the page they are given access to. You assign appropriate edit permissions for the user(s) for that page and they can edit to their hearts content.

However, be careful about allowing HTML web templates for end users, it's very dangerous, and easy for them to make a complete hash of it (there's abuse too, but we'll take that as read). You have the option of bbCode based web template pages, which is by far the safest option and easiest to understand from the end users perspective.

LWT is great and I've had a lot of fun with it for my site. Spending time understanding this modification is not as daunting as it may first appear. It's worth the small learning curve, because this mod is FAB!

HTH

Thanks for reply. But before installing I got one more question. Will the users opportunity to edit their pages after posting them? How will it works like? Can I get more details?:)

Cheers!
Pedro

Yes, an "Edit" link is provided at the foot of the web template page which allows the authourized user access to the editing features.

Yeah, but the footer displays 3.6.01 for the last version. ;)

And it would be nice if the productname would link to this thread,too.

Logician...

Again, I'd like to thank you for this mod...very nice!

Is there any way, at all, this can be updated to include a "printer friendly" and "email to a friend" option?

I know this mod is not supported...but would like to know if it's at all possible...it would be a nice addition to this mod.

The reason I ask is that I use this mod for a Knowledge Base I've started on my site...

It has come to our staff's attention that these two requests should be implemented within the Knowledge Base articles.

This means I'm going to have to create duplicate pages and link to them...so you see the reason for my asking?

I appreciate any feedback you have to offer on this...

Hello can anybody advise how to place checkbox with profile field option?

I am saving the form with profile.php everything works fine but the checkbox. (textfield works fine).

I have tried this:
this doesnt load wheter checkbox is checked or not and if I check nothing is saved.

and this

But this load "checked" in whatever case and doesnt save "unchecked" option.

Can anybody advise how to proceed with this checkbox field?

THANK YOU!!!

I'm not sure if I understand your request but if you are trying to display the content of http://www.crosslight.co.uk/CrossLig...boutcrosslight when in http://www.crosslight.co.uk/CrossLightForum/index.php why don't you just put the content inside your vbadvanced module? It seems to be the best method.

Or you can put a popup javascrit to your vbadvanced page and when it is loaded, it popups about us page.

Unlike vb posts, having a built-in printer friendly version with WT is not very easy because a WT can have 3 different formats : bbcode parsing (text), HTML and php. So for instance how can the code automatically create a printer friendly version for HTML or PHP webtemplates, it is very hard. :)

Nice Mod! I have it installed and working but have a question. I link to a WebTemplate page from a message on the forum, but when clicked it opens a new browser tab in IE7. None of the other fully qualified links on the site do this. Have I missed a setting?

Running 3.6.8 patch2 and the latest download of WebTemplates.

You can see this at http://reunion.cedarfallshigh.org and clicking on the Reunion Roll Call from the center News Item.

Thanks in advance.

This is not really about the hack. It is how your vbulletin deals with [URL] tags. If WT is openning the links in a new window, your vbulletin must be openning links in messages in new window too:

i am trying to past a lot of data and make a page, but am getting this error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 867187 bytes) in /home/site/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions_template.php on line 2184

what is causing this?

This is not about the hack. Even if it is vbulletin that is producing this error, it is not about vb either. It happens due to a server restriction you have and because you are trying to post data which is above this restriction.

Please see here for more info and also fix:

(If you are on shared hosting and can't get PHP memory limit increased, try to shorten your page)

Hi Logician!

Just a quick question for you. A couple of weeks ago my team and I completely overhauled my site. We had to integrate my current forums into the new template skin which worked fine, but when I am in the admincp in the Webtemplates section none of the pages work. However they do work when on the regular page. I was told it has something to do with CSS?

Would you happen to know how I can fix this? If you need any log in info to see what I am talking about I will be more than happy to give it to you.


Thanks,
Cori

Are all you WebTemplate files in tact? (ie do you need to upload them again?)

You can create header/footer webtemplates in Add New Header/Footer page, then copy your new style's CSS and other related style codes and then you can edit your templates and choose it to use this header/footer instead of default vb header/footer.

This should fix it.

I had someone do some custom work for me related to this terrific script. I made the poor decision to upgrade, and seem to have lost the ability to do what i had done previously.

Essentially what I am trying to do is include a cold fusion page inside of a web template. That way I can use the forum look, but include the page I need. Two reasons for this - I am using a different database (MS SQL) and have no idea how to create a php page, but am familiar with cf.

Is there a way to include pages?

An appropriate representation of the requested resource /forums/admincp/wt_wt.php could not be found on this server.

Everytime I try to add some code. Plain text works fine. But anytime I try to use some custom code it dies. Any idea?

This can't be related to hack. It should be a server issue. I suggest you check with server admin. It can be a jumpy mod-security setting if server has it.

Anyone test this on 3.7?

I read back a few pages and you said it will be updated when 3.7 goes gold but I was wondering if anyone tested it in 3.7, it works fine in 3.7 for me...

This is one awesome hack...

Mike.

Yes except a few minor issues it works fine with 3.7.x too. There are only some small issues like in "export webtemplate" sections. They don't effect the working of the hack, unless you specifically attempt to use that section.

yep, works a treat on 3.7

Thanks logician for the great script I'm making extensive use of it on my forum.

Just one quick question -- I know you can have multiple webqueries on a page, but is there any way to pass the output of one query to another? If so, I haven't figured out how to do it.

Thanks again

I'm always happy to see the hack is attempted to be used in such creative and advanced ways but unfortunately it can not support all of these sophisticated methods. :) Answer is no, sorry..

bummer :( guess i'm pushing the script a little too far :)

Just thinking outside of the box -- can one include eval statements in the phpinclude before/after parts of the webquery? If so, I can see a way to issue additional queries & pass the results on to the webquery for final output.

Sorry to respond so late to you, I have been super busy with things. I will definitely try this out! Thank you very much!! I have also reinstalled all of the files just to make sure everything was there :D

hey just wondering if you will be releasing a version of this mod for 3.7 addressing any issues. i just upgraded one of my forums to 3.7 rc2, and i want to make sure there arent any problems with any mod on there.

thanks, great mod.

You should be fine with 3.7. But when it is gold version is up, I plan to release a version covering all these minor issues too. I can't promise its ETA but intend to do it.

keep up the great work logician, you do a great job with all your mods...

Little off-topic. I'm using your great hack on my forum and it works great but I have a small problem. I would like to use the SEO urls and I managed to do that, but since my forum is not in the root and in a /forum/ dir, I have two .htacess files which the second one stops the first from working.

Can I add the SEO urls code to the file in the root and get it work? Is there any modification?

Installed in 3.7 RC3 but can't get java applet in the html I placed in new web page to init.

Does mod support java applet calls within the html? (html works fine and runs applet when I just load it on server)

Do I need to add some additional code for applet to function using WebTemplates?

Thanks in advance.

FIXED!
Needed codebase directory for applet. Duh!

Works like a charm.:up:

Donated.

Html code works fine calling applet directly from server but when same html code placed in a new web template window the applet fails to load. Html has codebase defined this time.

<p><APPLET
ARCHIVE = "WSPlay.jar"
CODEBASE = "https://my site.com/forums/wrdsrch/"
CODE = "wsplay.WSPlayApplet.class"
NAME = WSPlayApplet
WIDTH = 496
HEIGHT = 390
HSPACE = 0
VSPACE = 0
ALIGN = middle
>

Have tried getting applet to load from within new web template by:
placing another codebase in the parameter section, to wit
<PARAM NAME = "CODEBASE" VALUE ="https://my site.com/forums/wrdsrch/">

by using in codebase in applet section a "."

Any suggestions as to why this applet works fine when loaded from server as a straight html page but when same html code placed in new web template page it fails?

Thanks.

Using a template as an intro./welcome page before the VB forum, the template shows

Currently Active Users Viewing this Page: 4

question:

Instead of showing the users on this one page - how can I make it display the total number of users on the entire vb forum?
