Did you read the article? The php goes in the php page your create - the html goes in the template you create. It's explained in the first post.

Yes, yes... I can read and i know what is php and what is html.

I need to use php in the custom page's content. I can't do it.

I have the same problem, If I want to put an "echo" what do I have to do ?

I tried to put into my test.php (at the end) and it doesn't work...

You'll have to store the output into a variable and place the variable into the template!

PHP Code:


		
			
$myoutput = 'This is my dynamic created content';

Then just place $myoutput into your template

$myoutput = 'echo "hello the world";';

Then in my template I have to call my var $myoutput ??

Hmm strange :D

i got a pm but i'm answering here because maybe other users also want to know it...
If you want to use loops you could make it this way:

PHP Code:


		
			
$output =''; // here i'm defining a empty $output variable, just to be clear its empty^^



foreach ($a as $b)

{

    $output .= $b;  //add something to $output

}

so, now you have everything i your $output variable

Here's a example from a page i created:

PHP Code:


		
			
        foreach ($contacts as $email=>$name)

        {

            $counter++;

            exec_switch_bg();

                

            if ($plugType == 'email')

            {

                $contactdetails = $name - $email;

            }

            else

            {

                $contactdetails = $name;

            }

            eval('$contactbits .= "' . fetch_template('contactbit') . '";');

        }

here i have a $contactbits variable where i put the content in every foreach step

Yes, it has changed. See this article on how to make your page show up in WOL for 3.5 and above - [HowTo] Add Custom Pages to WOL

How can i make a small web page in this html page.? (with a few links, etc.)
The new repeated thread seems much easier to understand for us n00bs. lol

www.gamelobby.com/Forum/test.php
I want to add a simple webpage (much simpler version than the image that is currently there now)

Is this possible.?

Hi all.

I've benefitted from this page for quite some time now. I recently upgraded to 3.8.2 and now I'm having problems.

I have an upload applet inside a template called "upload" and I called the php file upload.php - I also added a template "uploaded" which is supposed to be called after the applet runs.

Here is my PHP file.

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php 
// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ########################### 
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 
// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS ####################### 
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1); 
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'upload'); // change this depending on your filename 
// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ###################### 
// get special phrase groups 
$phrasegroups = array( 
); 
// get special data templates from the datastore 
$specialtemplates = array( 
 
); 
// pre-cache templates used by all actions 
$globaltemplates = array( 
'upload', 
); 
// pre-cache templates used by specific actions 
$actiontemplates = array( 
); 
// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################ 
require_once('./global.php'); 
// ####################################################################### 
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################ 
// ####################################################################### 
$navbits = array(); 
$navbits[$parent] = 'DJ Mix Upload'; 
$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits); 
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";'); 
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('upload') . '");');
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'uploaded') 
{ 
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('uploaded') . '");'); 
} 
?>

going to the upload.php?do=uploaded does NOT pull the uploaded template at all and goes back to the main upload template.

I've tried to add 'uploaded', to globaltemplates and actiontemplates but still nothing :(

Typing in upload.php?do=uploaded still shows the original template.

Any help would be helpful.

Thanks.

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'uploaded')
{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('uploaded') . '");');
}
else
{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('upload') . '");');
}

This is trivial. This thread is turning into a general templating and php/html tutorial.

What, or how would i show all members of a social group on one of these pages.?

Is there a way to have it automatically feed the info onto the html page from the Social group.?

This is why a seperate forum should be made just for people making custom vBulletin powered pages.

Do it! Do it!

Sorry to bring even more tutorial needed stuff, but say I had my main page and wanted to be able to click a link that said something like "B". How would I get it to rearrange all of my B content to only show?

Code:

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



if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'b')

{

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

}

Anyone know how to use this to create a single forum page? Basically, I want to have no subforums and the index.php to go straight to the forum 1 where the threads and posts have been moved to.

I know nothing about coding.. :(

I have been creating my own pages with this listing for a while.

I have just now ran into a bugg using this layout.

When I installed Ultimate Side Columns it works perfect except on my custom vb pages?

The alignment in my custom pages is "WAY OFF".....

It seems as is some code is "missing" some where??

Any Ideas....?
:)

I am having trouble with the Who's Online Modification. I got the page to work.

It says all you have to do is just open up includes/functions_online.php and find:

PHP Code:


		
			
    case 'bugs.php': 

        $userinfo['activity'] = 'bugs'; 

        break;

So i go to my ftp, drag the file functions_online.php to my desktop and edit it with dreameaver. I use dreamweaver to try and find the code above and it can't be found? Can someone let me know the actuall code i need to find so that i can make this work please! By the way i am using vBulletin 3.7.2 if this helps.

}

2. create a plugin at hook online_location_unknown

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($userinfo['activity'] == 'myhack')
{
    $handled = true;
    $userinfo['action'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['viewing_x'], $vbphrase['my_hack']);

I added the conditions to show other templates with do=mypage but it doesn't work.
I added it exactly before ?>

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'steptwo') { eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STEPTWO') . '");'); } if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'stepthree') { eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STEPTHREE') . '");'); } if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'stepfour') { eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STEPFOUR') . '");'); }

Anyone can help me?
I created all templates, anything, but still doesn't work.

EDIT: FIXED IT! Thanks anyway!

Okay, I think I understand the whole page and template thing and got it to work on my site. My problem, however, is that I have some 2000 pages on my site and what I'm hearing is that I am going to have to create a template for each of them if I want them all restricted to registered members. Is this correct? And can vBulletin handle that many templates? Or is there an easier way to do this. Any help appreciated.

I guess I'll be doin' it the hard way then. Thanks for all your help.

Oh, and do you think vBulletin could handle 10-20,000 templates? That is what I expect to have for pages on my site in the future.
