Hi, Logician...

Anyway, sounds like an interesting hack. The only question that I have is this.

Why should I use your hack instead of doing something like the following:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

// Default Information - Start with this

error_reporting(7);



$templatesused='forumhome_welcometext,forumhome_logoutcode,forumhome_newposts,forumhome_todayposts,forumhome_logincode';



require('./global.php');



$permissions=getpermissions();

if (!$permissions['canview']) {

    show_nopermission();

}

// Default Information - End



// if user is know, then welcome

if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {

  $username=$bbuserinfo['username'];

  eval("\$welcometext = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_welcometext')."\";");

  eval("\$logincode = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_logoutcode')."\";");

  eval("\$newposts = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_newposts')."\";");



} else {

  $welcometext = "";

  eval("\$newposts = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_todayposts')."\";");

  eval("\$logincode = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_logincode')."\";");

}



eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('home')."\");");





?>

that is a very basic custom page that calls vBulletin templates, plus a custom template (called: home). It doesn't have any layout or anything, and I haven't done that much, but it is just like any of vBulletin's normal pages (just no current 'functionality' though it is easy to add, just displays information depending on vBulletin cookies)?

to see the above page in action go to http://www.teenssucceed.com/home.php

That is very easy to do with some custom templates and a basic understanding of how a vBulletin page works (the basic template outputs, etc.)

Why is your hack any better then doing it as above?

Oh, the one custom template used in the basic example above contains the following:

PHP Code:


			
<html>

<head>

    <!-- no cache headers -->

    <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">

    <meta http-equiv="no-cache">

    <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1">

    <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache">

    <!-- end no cache headers -->

    <meta name="keywords" content="vbulletin,forum,bbs,discussion,jelsoft">

    <meta name="description" content="$bbtitle is a discussion forum powered by vBulletin. To visit the forum, go to $bburl/ . To find out about vBulletin, go to [url]http://www.vbulletin.com/[/url] .">

    <title>$bbtitle - powered by vBulletin</title>

</head>

<body>

{htmldoctype}

<p>

    $headinclude

<p>

$header

$welcometext

$logincode

$newposts

$footer

<!-- /icons -->



</body>

</html>
