In the same way, the main forum area has its own theme with its pages (same colors and buttons, etc.). What I was asking is what do you do to get your custom pages to go with the theme of the area they're in. If you're making a page to run in the Admin CP, how do you get it to look similar to the other pages in the Admin CP? If you're making a page for the main forum area, how do you make it where it looks like the rest of your forum pages?

In the case of the forums, using the template system with common templates is what makes the pages look the same. In the case of the admincp, it's a frame, so you don't need to do much to make it look the same.

What are the common templates in your example? And do you mean that you have to build an Admin page from scratch? There are no common templates for it?

Hello Lynne, could you please help meh figure out how to fix inframe page for this setup? I tried but the information is posting above the header...

http://www.cozworld.com/hlstatsx.php

Code:

// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####

$pagetitle = 'HLstatsX';

echo "<iframe src =\"http://www.cozworld.com/hlxstats/hlstats.php\" frameborder=0 width=100% height=800 scrolling=yes> \n";

echo "</iframe> \n";

// ###### NOW YOUR TEMPLATE IS BEING RENDERED ######

Here is the actual link http://www.cozworld.com/hlxstats/hlstats.php

Thanks...

The header, headinclude, footer, and navbar are all used in the test template I posted. You don't have to include them, but if you don't, then you won't get the look of the forums.

This article is really not about the admin cp. The admin cp doesn't use templates at all.

echo just echos the info wherever the code happens to be called in the page - which is not somewhere in the middle of the template where you want it to go. If you look at my example, output is entered into a variable and the variable is placed in the template where you want the output to go.

Wow, thanks so much I was going nutz! :)

All right then. Thanks, Lynn. Appreciate it:)

Hey Lynne,
Whats wrong with using the GENERIC_SHELL?

Heres a function I made that uses it

PHP Code:


		
			
function generatePage($pagetitle, $navbar, $content, $template='GENERIC_SHELL')
{
        //Page Generation Function by Affix
    $templater = vB_Template::create($template);
    $templater->register_page_templates();
    $templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
    $templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
    $templater->register('HTML', '<br />' . $content);
    print_output($templater->render());
}

That way all you really need to do is

PHP Code:


		
			
$content = 'Your Content';
$pagetitle = 'Test Content';
$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'Test Page'));
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);
generatePage($pagetitle, $navbar, $content);

Fairly Simple and it will save space in your Database and it uses what vBulletin already provides you.

Speaking of functions, are you not required to preRegister them as you are with variables?

The GENERIC_SHELL would be fine. Some people like to fill their template with a bunch of html and would rather type it out in the template rather than assign it all to a variable to be output. You are welcome to put up an article on how to do this using the GENERIC_SHELL - users welcome having options to pick from when they do things.

thnxxxx Excellent!

can u help me
how can i add an iframe ( it's A html Page) in this ... i mean in Test.php

If you want it different, give it a class and define it yourself.

Could you explain this a little more? I finally got my test page working (a terms of service page) and tags like <p>, <h2>, <ol>, <ul>, and <strong> do not appear to work, although <b> and <br> do work for me. Thanks!

You might want to read up on CSS and how you can change the properties of a tag via a few lines of CSS. When you say <p> doesn't appear to work, what is it doing? It's hard to help when we aren't getting any specifics.

could someone please point me to a tutorial or something like that on how to add existing things like a sidebar-block to my own page?
e.g. i create a sidebar block with the newest posts and i want that block to be rendered in my own page.

What do i need to add to make the page show as selected if I add a tab for it?

You'd just need to change the code for the tab to show as selected when THIS_SCRIPT = 'test' or whatever you put in this line:

PHP Code:


		
			
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'test');

Hi lynne,
i have maded all the above steps and the page is ok, but there's a solution to integrate this html meta code in it?

How do i get the writing on my page to the middle?

Lynne,

Can you check my post?

I still have a problem with the section condition.

Thanks!

Thanks for this. Very handy.

Just one issue I'm having is with ordered lists. There is some content which has the following HTML tags:

Code:

<ol>

<li> Item 1</li>

<li> Item 2</li>

</ol>

etc

It used to come up with numbers with the 3.8.x version but doesn't seem to do it for this vb4 versions. Any thoughts on how to implement numbering easily?

This was already covered. See page 10 (may continue onto page 11, I don't remember).

Well, you don't actually start the page with just <? , right?

nvm, found another way

i created a custom login page for a front page but how can i set it to check if already logged in and if so to forword to for example forum.php....

I'm a little bit unsatisfied with the template that you suggest, mainly because the sub-title suggests that the content should be inside of a box. Other than that, great advice (as always ;)).

Well, i have the same problem as ddaybofb, i need to get my included PHP to the middle...How do i do it?

Brilliant guide Lynne, thanks ever so much worked a treat... now to try and it get on the menus! :)

Hi
i get blank page when do this tut

can you tell me where i have to go to create the template in MASTER STYLE ?

i did like the picture but it not work

The template doesn't get posted into the plugin code area - it gets put into the templates. Style Mananger > find your style (or if you are in debug mode, you may select MASTER STYLE) > Add Template.

Admincp >> Styles & Templates >> Style Manager >>

Click on All style Options
Click add new template

to enable this for master templates you enable debug mod in config.php located in /includes

to enable debug add the following

Code:

 

$config['Misc']['debug'] = true;

it working now
thank so much

Lynne, thanx again so much for this tut. i'm creatin' pages like a madman now!! :D

can we give access permissions to particular usergroups and deny for some ..

If yes where do i set the permissions .. ?? Lil confused .. i used logicans webtemplates when i was on vB 3.8.2 and it has its own settings .. now i upgraded to 4.0.3 and never used custom pages so lil confused with it .. Need little support or suggest me any particular mod as logicans webtemplates for 3.8.x series ..

Under the Start Main Script area, you may deny some usergroups:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, x, y, z))  
{
// give no permission unless in usergroup x, y, or z
        print_no_permission();
}

guess i dont want registered users and moderators to access this page so do i do it this way below in the start main script?

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 2, 7,))  
{
// give no permission unless in usergroup 6, or 5
        print_no_permission();
}

Do i have to edit it this way .. check the php code please ..

2 = registered user <=> should not have access
7 = moderator <=> should not have access
6 = super admin. <=> should have access
5 = global moderator <=> should have access

If you want to exclude usergroups 2 & 7, then you would do:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 2, 7))  
{
// give no permission to usergroup 2 & 7
        print_no_permission();
}

PHP Code:


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

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 2, 7))  
{
// give no permission to usergroup 2 & 7
        print_no_permission();
}  

$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'Test Page'));
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);

This is how i add it under start main script ..

P.S i want more groups to be excluded from it .. like 2,11,13,9,7 etc etc .. do i have to do it 2, 11, 13, 9, & 7 ? i am getting confused here on the second part.

PHP Code:


		
			
// give no permission to usergroup 2, 11, 13, 9 &  7

child directory does not seem to work for me :(
I'm very sure I'm doing something wrong though:

$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'noble6'));
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);

// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####
$pagetitle = 'INTEL';

// ###### NOW YOUR TEMPLATE IS BEING RENDERED ######

$templater = vB_Template::create('noble6');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
print_output($templater->render());

?>

In a folder such as "/pages." My forum is in the root.

Great tutorial, and thanks to everyone who's input went into this.

I was able to create the page template and plugins with no issues.

How do I include Widgets to my own vBulletin page?
