You need to start your html *after* the global.php file is included - you started it at the top of your page.

Hi Lynne,

Thanks for the tut! I used it for the google search bar to show up the results in that customized page.

Works like a charm!

A small comment, i put that test.php file almost in every directory. I didn't know where to upload. Think you forgot to mention that :D

Nothing is mentioned regarding where to upload the test.php file because it can be put anywhere as long as you put the correct paths to the files you include in your page.

Well now you can :D

Want to know how it will look? Take a look at the attached screenshot below! :)

Now includes the Who's Online modification! :)
Also, instructions included on how to create your own pages that are integrated with current vBulletin files! :D

I'm going to give you a generic page but you can easily modify the contents of the page by changing the template ;)

So here we go :)

Instructions:

Create a new file, whatever you want to call it (let's say test.php).
Open up test.php and add the following (replace TEST with whatever template you want to show):

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);



// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'test'); // 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(

    'TEST',

);



// pre-cache templates used by specific actions

$actiontemplates = array(



);



// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

require_once('./global.php');



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

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

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



$navbits = array();

$navbits[$parent] = 'Test Page';



$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);

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

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



?>

Be sure to change 'TEST' to the actual template name, and change 'test' to the filename. Also, change 'Test Page' to whatever you want to show in the navbar, such as 'Viewing Member Profile' (just an example).

Now create the template, called TEST with the following content:

HTML 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>

All done :D
Now check it out by going to test.php ;)

Who's Online Modification

Now if you want to show who is browsing this new page of yours, just open up includes/functions_online.php and find:

PHP Code:


		
			
    case 'bugs.php':

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

        break;

Below, add:

PHP Code:


		
			
    case 'test.php':

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

        break;

(Be sure to change the values to your own!)

Then find:

PHP Code:


		
			
        case 'modcplogin':

            $userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['moderator_control_panel_login'];

            break;

Below add:

PHP Code:


		
			
        case 'test':

            $userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Test Page';

            break;

All done! :D

----------------------------------

Also if you want to create your own pages 'within' current vBulletin files, do the following:

Open the file you want, and then right before the final ?> in the source code, add the following:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'xxx')

{

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

}

Replace 'xxx' with whatever you want ?do= in the query string to be (for example, replace 'xxx' with 'showprofile' so then someone would type in example.php?do=showprofile to view this template.) Then of course, change TEMPLATE_XXX to your template name, it's that simple! :D

Hey.
I just added this, good work.

However, what PHP Code would I use to make the Who's Online appear on this custom page (but it only shows people on that page?)

Thanks for the hack, good work =]

Check the vB4 Articles forum - there is an article for this in there (actually, it is also in my profile page since I was the one who put the updated copy of this article there).

Also, I don't know what you mean when you say where global.php is located, but unless you have some very customized file locations, there was no reason to edit the line refering to global.php. require_once('./global.php'); shouldn't need to be changed.

amcd	01-31-2010 03:42 PM

././global.php is the same as ./global.php which is also the same as ./././././././././././././././global.php

. refers to the current directory and .. refers to parent directory.

3) Replace eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEST') . '");'); with your PHP stuff.

In while file do I edit to allow the article to be viewed by only certain usergroups?

Hello:

I'm a vB noob, trying to create a static page w/ vB 3.8.4 I placed the test.php file in the forums folder, and created the template as a new template in the admincp, but am getting a "page not found" when I type in the url for the page. Obviously, I'm not doing something right!

Could someone offer me some advice?

Thanks.

If you're getting a 404, you either did not upload the file, did not upload to the correct place, did not enter the correct URL or have a typo.

02-22-2010 05:25 PM

LOL!

The site I was working on is not my own, and though I thought I was in the right place, the owner has over 100 web properties, and at this point has lost track of many of them. Luckily, the servers he uses are managed. When I spoke with them, I found that the document root I was using, though it looked correct, was not in fact the correct one.

Thank you, Cellarius for taking the time to respond to me.

It's not in there anymore. Just look for the area with that same syntax structure. There are a bunch of blocks of code with that same format.

Same name. In his tutorial all lowercase tests are the file name and all uppercase TESTs are the template name.

Hi all ...

Which templates do I need to include to get a list of latest threads?
Similar to what we get by going to /forums/search.php?do=getnew

I am sure his has been asked before but I could not find an answer.

Thanks

Simon Lloyd

03-20-2010 06:33 PM

This question has nothing to do with this mod, however dump this in your new template:

HTML Code:

<!-- show latest active threads -->

<table>

<tbody>

<tr>

<td>



<b>Latest Active Threads</b>

</td>

</tr>

</tbody>

<tbody>

<tr>

 

<td width="100%">

 

<div>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.YOURSITE.COM/external.php?forumids=49,71,11,78,12,14,13,79&type=js"></script> 

<script language="" type="text/javascript">

<!--

for (x = 0; x < 15; x++)

{

document.writeln("<a href=\"http://www.YOURSITE.COM/showthread.php?t="+threads[x].threadid+"\">"+threads[x].title+"</a> <br>(Posted By: "+threads[x].poster+")<br><br />");

}

//-->

</script></div>

 

</td>

Change YOURSITE.COM, the forum ID's and the 15 to as many threads as you would like to show!

No, using on v3.8.x.
I was getting the same problem when I installed v3arcade.

I've downgraded the PHP on my server to v5.2.13, which I wasnt happy about - but it seems to have fixed the problem.

This and other mods should be configured with the latest stable release of PHP, as most people will want to use the latest PHP version, or atleast the server managers.

This is not a mod, but a tutorial for coders, provided by someone in his spare time, so you can use the knowledge it provides for free. It is six years old. I really ask myself what you are asking for. Especially since the problem is not with this article at all, but with the vB3.x-version you run. You should have upgraded to the latest version which is fully PHP 5.3.0 compatible.

It was a problem my end. Turnt out the code isnt supported for the latest version of PHP, so I downgraded the PHP on my server to fit its needs, but will be recorrecting the code so it supports new PHP and will probally post it for others to use.

New version asin PHP 6, which will be released later on in the year.. so I hear.

Hey Guys,

I'm working on a client's site and he wants to have http://forums.tunedtech.ca/advertise/ so he can add content for Advertising Plans, etc. Now since that page is outside vBulletin's Forum Root I had to change the "REQUIRE BACK-END" part of the code to point to it, no problem. Everything is working and showing up, but it's not loading the CSS from vBulletin on there. Take a look ...

http://forums.tunedtech.ca/advertise/ (Does not show vBulletin CSS as it should)

I went ahead and created the page using "custom_" in front of the Template name, so that I could access it via the "misc.php" link as well. This helps, so that I know what the page is suppose to look like. Anyways, please take a look here and compare to see what I mean. That's how its suppose to look like when I visit http://forums.tunedtech.ca/advertise/ but it does not.

I'm thinking its due to it being outside the vBulletin Forum Root. So what should I add or change to make it work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advanced,
Danny

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

?>

My Tempate Code:

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]

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

<head>

$headinclude

EDIT:
Found the fix, much thanks to SirAdrian! If you are also experiencing this issue take a look here for the solution: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1074 ... Add that code to the Template you created right before the "$headerinclude" line withing the <head> tags ... Enjoy!
