- - How to create your own vBulletin-powered page! (uses vB templates) (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=62164)

I was able to make the page but the WOL part is showing unknown location. Here is what I put into functions_online.php

case 'store.php':
$userinfo['activity'] = 'store';
break;
case 'store':
$userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Shattered Planet Store';
break;

Also, is there a way to integrate this page into VBA or at least insert a module from VBA? I have a site navigation module I'd like to add on the left side. Thanks.

Opened Notepad.

Created test.php
Pasted the code and changed test to 'FORUMDISPLAY'
Saved to test server

Opened Notepad
Created test.html
Pasted code
Saved to test server

Opened Browser and entered http://localhost/forum/test.php

All I get is a blank page? Am I not using the right template? What am I supposed to be doing to make this work?

Thanks

Have you read the instructions? This is not the way to create a template...

It says "Now create the template, called TEST with the following content:". Templates can be created through the "Styles & Templates > Style Manager" in the AdminCP.

Hi folks,

I'm trying to learn as much as possible in as short a time as possible hehe.

This thread is a great help.

I would like to have a /forums/games.php page which contains thumbnails of flash games.
I have created a template for each game, i.e. custom_game1, custom_game2, etc.
I have insterted the line to call the template in the games.php file, i.e.

Code:

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('custom_game1') . '");');

Now this only brings up one game in any one window. I don't want to have game1.php, game2.php, etc., I would like to have all the thumbnails in games.php and when clicked on, they would run as normal.

I realise I could do this...

Code:

forums/games.php?do=game1

...and that would display each game in it's own window but how would I create the thumbnails?

I'm not looking for exact code, even a hint to a thread where I could learn it.

Thanks
Glen

Hey guys, quick Q here as this is really a good method, however this is my file structure:

Site Structure

1. www.website.com/index.php < Root
2. www.website.com/forums/index.php << Forum Root

Forum is located in 2, trying to make a home page for the forum in 1 to display whenever someone visits the website introducing parts of the site and the forum. The forum will be one of the main parts of the site so I'd like for the forum menus and features to work.

Below is my code:

test.php

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 ############################
chdir('./forums/');
require('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') . '");');

?>

Template called TEST

HTML Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]

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

<head>

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

$headinclude

</head>

        <td class="tcat">Title</td>

</tr>

<tr>

        <td class="alt1">Text</td>

</tr>

</table>



$footer

</body>

</html>

headinclude Template

HTML Code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=$stylevar[charset]" />

        <else />

<meta name="description" content="$vboptions[description]" />

        </if>

</if>



<!-- CSS Stylesheet -->

$style[css]

<if condition="is_browser('opera') AND !is_browser('opera', '8.0.1')">

<style type="text/css">

ul, ol { padding-left:20px; }

</style>

</if>

<!-- / CSS Stylesheet -->



<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

var SESSIONURL = "$session[sessionurl_js]";

var IMGDIR_MISC = "$stylevar[imgdir_misc]";

var vb_disable_ajax = parseInt("$vboptions[disable_ajax]", 10);

// -->

</script>



<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.website.com/forums/clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>

<if condition="$show['popups']"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.website.com/forums/clientscript/vbulletin_menu.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script></if>

<if condition="$vboptions['externalrss']">

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="$vboptions[bbtitle] RSS Feed" href="external.php?type=RSS2" />

<if condition="$show['foruminfo'] OR $show['threadinfo']">

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="$vboptions[bbtitle] - $foruminfo[title_clean] - RSS Feed" href="external.php?type=RSS2&amp;forumids=$foruminfo[forumid]" />

</if>

</if>

at the end of all of this, this is what I get:

http://www.methodcity.com/tomektemp/ScreenHunter01.jpg

but its supposed to look like this:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Can someone help? I've seriously read through this whole thing...

any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Your images don't work.

Still can't get mine going!!

Here's my Code:

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('./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') . '");'); 



?>

Im getting this error:
http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/e...lobalerror.jpg

Any Ideas?

Its a bit obvious from the error what the problem is Diesel! The global.php file doesn't exist in the folder, read the error messages its not rocket science!

To solve it:

PHP Code:


		
			
$currentdir = getcwd();
chdir('../forum');
require_once('./global.php');
chdir($currentdir);

I knew what the problem was. I couldn't find the code to correct it. Thanks for your wonderful help! :rolleyes:
