Placing some vb elements into non-bv pages

Can someone tell me what I would need to do to let certain elements of the forums (like PM total, username/login, avatar etc) appear on a custom, non-vb page (and not in the forums directory)? All I found so far was an article about creating vb-powered pages using templates, which isn't what I'm looking for.

You can use the same article and just not use the template system.

That was the article I mentioned. It seems as if the page itself is being ran by vbulletin, though.

As long as you inclide global.php you can use any php script, or just use the example in the above thread and remove calling the templates etc.

Please start your a new thread describing your problem.

Everytime I use include or require_once, for the global.php file, it results in a fatal error and is unable to load the page.

Without knowing the code you are now using or the error message you get, we can't give more assistence.

Warning: require_once (*********************) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in ***************/forums/global.php on line 20

I'm trying to make this page outside of my forums directory.

You still have not provided the code you are using, nor the full error messages.

You need to chdir to the forums directory:

PHP Code:


		
			
chdir ('/path/to/your/forums'); 
require_once('./global.php');

I did that and the page is coming up without error now, but nothing from vb works when I place it on the page, like avatars for example. I tried this code for an avatar:

Code:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="left" style="margin-top:5px;">

<tr>

<td><a href="$vbpoptions[bbdir]/profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editavatar"><img src="$vbpoptions[bbdir]/image.php?u=$bbuserinfo[userid]" alt="Your avatar" border="0" /></a>

</td>

I don't believe that is the code to get you to the avatar. You are calling a script (image.php) not an image. You need to call an actual image in order to have an image displayed. Where did you get that code from?

Chris11987

08-19-2008 09:07 PM

From the article. What would be the proper code to display an avatar for a member if they were logged in?

Hmmm, I tried to look but couldn't find it in there. Perhaps they were using an older version of vbulletin or something.

I'm not really sure what to use for the avatar. I looked in the postbit template and this is what is in there:

HTML Code:

<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>

I'm not sure that the post variable is available to you. You may have to replace that with $user and see if that works.

Avatars can be accessed using image.php - but only if avatars are stored in the database. You can access avatars stored in the file system using fetch_avatar_url().

Chris11987

Mine are stored as files, so I'd need to use fetch. Can you give me the exact code (using an example file path) I would need for an avatar to appear?

Lynne

08-20-2008 02:52 PM

Take a look in member.php around line 395:

PHP Code:


		
			
// AVATAR
$avatarurl = fetch_avatar_url($userinfo['userid']);

if ($avatarurl == '' OR !$vbulletin->options['avatarenabled'] OR ($avatarurl['hascustom'] AND !($userinfo['permissions']['genericpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_genericpermissions['canuseavatar']) AND !$userinfo['adminavatar']))
{
    $show['avatar'] = false;
}
else
{
    $show['avatar'] = true;
    $userinfo['avatarsize'] = $avatarurl[1];
    $userinfo['avatarurl'] = $avatarurl[0];
}

Does that help?

Chris11987

08-21-2008 04:23 AM

I then get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function fetch_avatar_url() in ********************** on line 16

I'm using this code in the header:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

    chdir ('./forums'); 

    require_once('./global.php'); 

?>

08-21-2008 05:23 AM

You need to include the user functions to be able to use it:

PHP Code:


		
			
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_user.php');

Chris11987

08-21-2008 05:41 AM

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php
chdir ('./forums'); 
require_once('./global.php'); 
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_user.php');  
?>

I'm using that now, and still no luck.

Please post the complete file you are using now.

This is the entire content of the page I'm testing:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php
    echo '<' . '?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?' . '>';
    chdir ('./forums'); 
    require_once('./global.php'); 
      require_once('./includes/functions_user.php');  
?>

You aren't actually using the fetch_avatar_url() function...

Chris11987

08-22-2008 01:57 PM

Wow, how did I miss that one line? I know I was using it originally because I was getting an error from it at one time. I must have taken it out to get rid of the error.

I put it back in on the new test file I showed you and now I get a database error:

PHP Code:


		
			
Database error in vBulletin 3.7.1:

MySQL Error   : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 6

Error Number  : 1064

My avatars are using my files, not my database. I double checked.

Please post the file you are using. Just saying "I put it in" doesn't really explain where.

There.

The url of the file is mydomainname.com/avitest.php, and the url of my forums is mydomainname.com/forums/, it that helps.

$vbulletin->userinfo is the array for the logged in user's info, not $userinfo.

Chris11987

08-23-2008 08:20 PM

I replaced the $userinfo's with $vbulletin->userinfo's and still get a blank page.

Lynne

08-23-2008 08:32 PM

I took your php page, replaced the $userinfo with $vbulletin->userinfo and I get a page that simply says:

// AVATAR

But, since you aren't using a template to spit anything out and you aren't echoing anything in your php, I would not expect any other result.

edit: I meant to add, if I add this, I get something to spit out. I'm not sure it's the best way to do this though (someone else may comment on that).

PHP Code:


		
			
 echo "<img src='/forums/" .$vbulletin->userinfo['avatarurl']. "'>";
