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>

<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>

headinclude Template

HTML Code:

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

<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin $vboptions[templateversion]" />

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

<meta name="keywords" content="$threadinfo[title], $vboptions[keywords]" />

<meta name="description" content="<if condition="$pagenumber>1"><phrase 1="$pagenumber">$vbphrase[page_x]</phrase>-</if>$threadinfo[title] $foruminfo[title_clean]" />

<else />

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

<meta name="keywords" content="$foruminfo[title_clean], $vboptions[keywords]" />

<meta name="description" content="<if condition="$pagenumber>1"><phrase 1="$pagenumber">$vbphrase[page_x]</phrase>-</if>$foruminfo[description_clean]" />

        <else />

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

<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:

but its supposed to look like this:

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

any help on this?
