Any way of forcing the page to use a style that is not the default style.?

the most important thing if you want to make pages based on templates or anything of the such would be to first know how to "

connect" to vbulletin, and then learn how to call and eval templates. so lets take a look at the most BASIC page we can do

This is *exactly* what I was in need of!
Thank you endlessly.

If you need to call any other phrasegroup besides global

can this be done Zachery?

say I have a var called $a and i want it evald on its own so that I can use it in the templates how do i assign just a value to that and still eval? i.e value 22

Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(./global.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/latch/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/latch/public_html/test.php on line 16

.... my forums are in /home/forums/public_html/

is there anyway to get it to work :S

read the error it tell's you the prob right away.

open_basedir restriction in effect. File(./global.php) is not within the allowed path

in other words the server setup does not let you pull files from other site paths this is because there might be other sites on the server you dont own and if there not any open_basedir restriction you could pull files from other peoples sites and this could let people hack people or nick personal information.

PHP Code:


		
			


$actiontemplates = array(

                            'small' => array(

                                                     'other'

                                                    )

);

What exactly does this do?

Hey, i suppose you lot have been asked this loads of times, i am using this code:

Code:

<?php

// ## Changes Directory so it can accesss vBulletin IF we are outside the forums folder, if not this is not nessary ##

chdir("./forum");



// ## Error Reporting ( we use error reporting in php so we can control the display of error messages

// ## we will use this because all vBulletin files follow the same error reporting rules) ##

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);



// ## this action here cache's the templates so that everytime their needed a querry wont be needed to run 

// ## the names in there are just the template names :), there must be a comma after everyone but the last ##

$globaltemplates = array(

'index.php'

);



// ## Grabs global.php this grabs vbulletins global.php so we can use the most basic of vBulletins functions ##

require_once("./global.php");



// ## this calls to print out one main template ##

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('index.php') . '");');

?>

And is there any way of fixing the problems with the javascripts and images WITHOUT adding the vb home code to the relative urls?

Here is the page:

http://www.justonxbox.com/test.php

Also i know the template is called index.php, this is so that when i make my site from these they are easily edited as that will be the name for this page once done etc... etc...

Thanks Paul

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

Gosh that would have saved me a lot of time had I known about it. Howdo use it? How do you populate $HTML? Is it a regular variable or aspecial one?

Also, I still don't get actions? Can someone explain the system in more details?

dwh	01-31-2005 10:40 PM

I think I understood actions now. It's no big deal it just pulls outany templates that are defined (somewhere? init.php?) for that action.It's a "shortcut" but it doesn't make any difference as long as youpull out any template you use in globaltemplates you should be ok.Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'd still like to know about the $HTML thing though.

There's got to be an easier way. :(

The huge problem I am running into now is that by including global.php, and by extension init.php, cookies are being established. That's not what I want. Is there a way to load templates without all that other stuff happening?

What I may need to do is create a cron task that dumps the evaluated contents of the templates I need to flat HTML files and then include those. :( :(

Razz	04-10-2005 10:29 PM

If your using the action templates as shown in the original post:

PHP Code:


		
			
$actiontemplates = array(

                            'small' => array(

                                                     'other'

                                                    )

);

along with:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (empty($_REQUEST['do']))

{

    $_REQUEST['do'] = 'small';

}

Then you will need to set a default action template like below:

PHP Code:


		
			
$actiontemplates = array(

                            'small' => array(

                                                     'other'

                                                    )

);



$actiontemplates['none'] = &$actiontemplates['small'];

This should prevent uncached templates on initial page visit if $_REQUEST['do'] is empty. Just change "small" in the last line to the default template array such as "home" or "main".

Hi

I've got the page to work, but I'd like to use a custom header and footer because the links do not show correctly at present - I've created the new templates for them and called them in my 'test' template instead of the standard ones. But it doesnt work :-(

Can someone give me a quick run-down of how it can be achieved? thanks.

Can that be used for this (from another post) -

I've seen a few scripts that prompt a user to login, but nothing that would redirect the user to the internal login page on non-vB pages.

I have a directory structure like this -

/forums
/ads
/games
/faqs
/blog
and so on.

I want to use vB security throughout my entire site, even outside the actual /forums dir.

If you would go straight to /blog/blog.php for example, a piece of code would detect whether the visitor is logged in or not.

If so, display the page normally.

If not, redirect them to the exact same login screen that's invoked when you go to http://www.onlinepokerlistings.com/forums/calendar.php.

Ok, after logging in, the visitor would be directed back to /blog/blog.php.

It would work exactly the same as normally requiring a login to see a vB page, but in this case it's outside of vB.

In the database (you should access them from vBulletin).

I have this system setup for my site locksmithcafe.com. However, when I log out of the forum and go to locksmithcafe.com it gives me the following error:

Quote:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/httpd/vhosts/locksmithcafe.com/httpdocs/index.php

whats up with that do you think?

Here is my index.php page:

You are trying to start another page that is trying to set the http headers after they have allready been set. I had this problem and got around it with some php http posts that then caught the output stripped out the headers and then set them on final output!

Contact me gary@behindtheweb.co.uk if you need any more help on this problem. I'd be happy to help.

Just remove everything above the opening php-tag.

You can not output ANYTHING before you require global.php.
