Put the following, probably best place would be at the very end right before the ?>

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'xxx')

{

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

}

the index page works fine, I added the extra code you put to the end of index.php but when I put something like http://www.maddpc.com/~ashraf/index.php?page=psdmain I'm not brought to the template index_psdmain, how would this be done?

That would be great. I'll take a look as well, but I tried various things yesterday and none was working.

sorry to be a hassle, but can you please tell me what I'm supposed to do here?
my templates are named index_fonts, index_psds...etc like that, what would I change this code to for it to work correctly?

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'xxx') 

{ 

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

}

thanks alot

Change TEMPLATE_XXX to index_fonts, etc.

ok.. sorry about this, but http://www.maddpc.com/~ashraf/index.php? is the page, I added

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'xxx') 

{ 

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

}

and I don't see index_fonts template when I go to
http://www.maddpc.com/~ashraf/index.php?do=fonts
or
http://www.maddpc.com/~ashraf/index.php?do=index_fonts
thanks

I think you must try this code:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'fonts') 
{ 
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('index_fonts') . '");'); 
}

http://www.maddpc.com/~ashraf/index.php?do=index_fonts

If you use that code, then go to ?do=xxx

Even if I'm the only one who is interested in this problem I post my solution anyway:

If the events should show up:

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'test'); (where test is the name of the nonvb-page)

should be

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'index');

Alright gary...thanks for the tips thus far. He's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to create an article system of sorts. My database table will have the following fields: Author, Date, Article, Title, and ID. Now, what I'd like to do is have something like:

articles.php?do=viewarticles&artid=4

And that would call the article in the database with the ID of 4. At any rate, how would I do that without having to make a new template for every article.

AutomatikStudio,

Just a suggestion. It may be easier to use a variation of one of the portal hacks.

is it possible to get the member age (if specified by the user in in his options) to show on the page...and is it possible to get the contact column from memberlist.php to work on this custom page? if so...how?

SVTBlackLight01

03-27-2004 02:22 AM

I have also been wondering if it is possible to include info for a specific user on the page.

AutomatikStudio

03-28-2004 03:11 AM

How would I add the title of the page in to the <title> tags?

SVTBlackLight01

03-28-2004 03:59 AM

This is what I am doing to make it a little more automated.

Between the title tags, use

Code:

$navbits[lastelement]

This will display what ever you use for you navbits here

PHP Code:


		
			
$navbits[$parent] = 'Whatever'; (test.php)

in the title.

See here:

03-28-2004 04:23 AM

Where can I find the <title> tags to edit? I seriously feel like I've looked everywhere..I'm sure they're right under my nose.

SVTBlackLight01

03-28-2004 04:32 AM

It's in the template.

AutomatikStudio

03-28-2004 04:38 AM

Yeah..that's what I'm saying...I've looked through just about every template. Which specific template did you edit?

SVTBlackLight01

03-28-2004 04:45 AM

If you use the first post as an example, the template would be called TEST.

It should look something like this

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]

<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">

<head>

<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>

$headinclude

</head>

<body>

$header



$navbar



<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

<tr>

        <td class="tcat">Title</td>

</tr>

<tr>

        <td class="alt1">Text</td>

</tr>

</table>



$footer

</body>

</html>

Okay, I created the php files and uploaded them, and made the templates and named them in uppercase. But when I enter the addy in my browser, I get this:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `')'' in /home/pkrwud/public_html/vbulletin/decals.php on line 13

BTW, I am rather clueless when it comes to this stuff, but I try.

PKRWUD

03-28-2004 05:08 AM

also, "decals.php" is the "test" file.

Ok. I read all 8 pages so far and i havent seen this question asked. So, I am going to go for it. Lets say that you have two different styles for a forum and you want to specific exactly which style you want a page to display. Can you think of any code that can be included that will load a specific style.

Oh yeah. I dont want to add the styleid variable to the URL either. I want this to be hidden in the php page.

1) correct

I believe this is incorrect. If yo do it this way, you will display a non-functioning navbar. The pop-up menus will not work. I don't know why, and I don't know how to fix it, but I do know if you create test.php in your forum root dir and the TEST template exactly as given in the first post, it works.

Take that same script and more it to another directory and it breaks on global.php. Add the chdir as above just before your require statement and you will have a non-functioning navbar. No pulldown menus.

Any ideas on how this is resolved?

03-28-2004 11:54 AM

Well, I just tried all over again from scratch, and did it exactly the way I read it, and this time received this error:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `')'' in /home/pkrwud/public_html/vbulletin/test.php on line 23

What does this mean? On line 23, is 'TEST', the name of the TEST template I made.

Anyone?

What is your WHOLE line 23? Copy and paste it here.
