then who is asking you to bother lol

Can't you see $headinclude already consists $vboptions[keywords], [description]. Do you want me to give metainfo twice?

This cannot be achieved without a plugin where the meta variables needs to be replaced. Working on it.

Hello
I am trying to show another php file which generates a directory listing for some mp3 files along with the forum header and footer..
How can I show that php file's generated output in the template area?
I know i can use an iframe code in the template file but I am trying to avoid that. Is there any other way for me to accomplish this?

music.php

Code:



<?php 



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

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 



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

define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1); 

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'music'); // 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( 

    'music', 

); 



// pre-cache templates used by specific actions 

$actiontemplates = array( 



); 



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

require_once('./global.php'); 



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

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

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



$navbits = array(); 

$navbits[$parent] = 'Music Downloads'; 



$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits); 

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

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





?>

where can i put the other script's code? It's a pretty big script (135KB) named Andromeda.. maybe some of you know about it.

Can somebody please explain how I can make the custom page show up in Currently Active Users? I read in this thread that you have to use plugins or hooks to accomplish this feat but I have no idea how I would go about it. Can anyone tell me specifically what code to add and where so that when you look on Current Active Users page you will see <custom page name> as the location users viewing the custom page are looking at?

Thank you!

hook online_location_process:
Code:

PHP Code:


		
			
switch ($filename)
{
    case 'mypage.php':
        $userinfo['activity'] = 'mypage';
        break;
// add more cases here if you have more than one custom page. no need for multiple plugins. one plugin can handle all.
}

hook online_location_unknown
Code:

PHP Code:


		
			
switch ($userinfo['activity'])
{
    case 'mypage':
        $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="mypage.php?'.$vbulletin->session->vars[sessionurl].'">My Page</a>';
        $userinfo['action'] = "Viewing My Page";
        $handled = true;
        break;
// add more cases here if you have more than one custom page. no need for multiple plugins. one plugin can handle all.
}

Thank you but can you please tell me where to put that code?

I did. Reread my post - I have the hook locations specified.

I see. I didn't realize I had to go to Manage Plugins and create a new plugin. I've followed your instructions but the location is reading Unknown common/lists.css. Any idea as to why that might be happening?
