How do I make a Custom Page
 

I created a new template called "page_privacy", and entered my information (privacy statement), then when I go to the page:

http://www.domain.com/forums/index.php?page=privacy

It does not show up... What am I doing wrong? I thought this should be very simple way to make a custom page...

Thanks for any advice...

if you gave us the actual link it may help ;)

There you go... Not much to see, it defaults to the std. forums page... I have a template template defined as "page_privacy", and it looks just fine.

So I take it you didn't make the PHP file that should go with your template?

That's not how you create a custom page in vBulletin. This is:

Create a template called "custom_somename" ( it must be prefixed with custom_ ) and put something like this in it:


Then you can call it using:

Or you could add the php file so it looks much cleaner. For example, instead of looking like:

http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/misc...plate=somename

It will look more like:

http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/somename.php

Thanks, figured it out...

I use vBSEO to rewrite them to friendly URLs. ;)
