Logician's Webtemplates for vB 3.5.0
 

I know you are busy but still... :devious: any expected date of release. Thanks

2-3 weeks with no promises

No promises is fine.

What a wonderful system.

You'll need to get an account, but I hope some time you'll come see what I've done with your webtemplates on our site http://pokegym.net ... just click on the Price Guide link at the top of any page. We have over 3000 records in two databases searchable by the members. Thank you!

Waiting Waiting Waiting !!! :)

I didn't forget about it, I'm on it.

Work Update:

I've finished most of the coding and I'm about to finalize the project. I'm now testing it, fixing bugs, cleaning up the code and writing help documents, installation guide etc. So there is still some time for the final release but we are very close to it.

If you have used this hack in vbulletin 3.0.x and now waiting for 3.5.0 version, can you please post here and let me know whether you have already ported your board for 3.5.0 or are you still on 3.0.x until I release the hack?

Thanks,

Differences Between 3.0.x Version and 3.5.0 Version.

? Page Security Settings are now simpler. You don?t have to enter userids or usergroupids anymore. Instead you can directly enter disallowed usernames and check disallowed usergroups in a more friendly interface.

? Same simplicity applies to ?WebTemplate Editors? and ?Logged Usergroups/Usernames? Sections.

? ?Is Private? per Webtemplate option is removed as it was redundant. WebTemplates Hack has now ?is draft? option and banned usergroups/usernames options for your page security needs.

? Meta Keywords and Meta Description per WebTemplate is added for better search engine optimization.

? ?Download WebTemplate/Webquery as a text file? option is removed and replaced with ?Import / Export WebTemplates as a XML? file. This will help you to save your WebTemplates in a better supported format and hack users can very easily share eachothers WebTemplates by import feature.

? ?Logician Conditional Syntax? is no more supported in this version of the WebTemplates. Instead you can use vb3 conditional syntax for your conditional needs. That is:
<if condition = ?????..?>?????<else />?????.</if>

? User friendly URL support is added. So instead of calling your WebTemplates as:
http://www.yoururl.com/yourforum/view.php?pg=webtemplatename
You can now ALSO call it as:
http://www.yoururl.com/yourforum/view_webtemplatename.htm

Please note this feature is experimental, and not fully supported by me at this time. I tested it and it works for me but it may not work for you due to your server settings, webserver program, .htaccess settings etc.

? ?Outside variables? are removed from the hack as it is confusing for novice users and redundant for expert users. Someone who needs to pass outside variables to the webtemplate can use PHPINCLUDE field of webtemplate to clean and process variables in the vbulletin way. Eg.

$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(
'my_variable_1' => TYPE_STR,
'my_variable_2' => TYPE_INT,
));

Hi Logician. Subscribed and waiting for the release. The changes look promising.

I'm waiting for this hack. I have two boards, one on 3.5.1 without the templates and the other on 3.0.7 with the older hack. I'm planning to use this hack on both boards when available as it's an extremely useful hack.

I'm waiting on three things to upgrade to 3.5. Petz, Arcade, and Web Templates.
The first 2 are for my members, but Web Templates is all me baby. This is one of the most useful hacks I've ever had the pleasure of using. Thanx Logician. :)

Looks great. I am looking forward to the release.
