I have a suggestion: explain to use how to incorporate home-made files that reside in the directory of vbulletin.


For instance:

http://www.kurafire.com/files/thecouch/portal2.php

http://www.kurafire.com/files/thecouch/ is the directory of my board, and the portal2.php is a home-made portal page that lists 50 threads that have last had a reply in (excluding threads from a private forum). (oh, and portal.php lists 250 instead of 50).

Now, can we just list portal2.php in the input panel of this hack and it'll work already? That's all I want to know, how to make that work :)

(I read it already works, with some editing, for the vbstats hack)

If portal2.php requires global.php, then yes you can simply list it using the hack. :)

No, it doesn't use global.php. It only creates an opening to the forum's database, runs one query and creates an output of that.

How would I go and include global.php for it? I want to know that because I want to use some of the global functions in the new version of the portal2.php page (which will actually LOOK like something, unlike now).

just add it to the file and it'll act just like any other vB file.

Great, thanks :)

So what exactly does it allow me to use in my code with that?

While I'm at it: how did you do that awesome "user is away" script ???? That's awesome! :eek:

Edit: nm, I see the hack already. :)

The major advantage is using the sessions vBulletin provides.
Other than that, checking for permission becomes easier, and also templates. You can use templates with that.

Ooh, permissions, THAT I like very much! ^_^

require('./global.php');

What are the exact warnings?
