vb.org Archive - View Single Post - How to create your own vBulletin-powered page! (uses vB templates)

Oh k. Finally i figured this out. I am such a n00b.

Ok,

You don't need to create a new custom template for this basic page stuff. You can have it display an existing template

If you're seeing the "all white"screen with the source:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

You're almost there.

The problem is probably your print_output line, you're probably printing a nonexistant template. Try using a template included with vb3 like GENERIC_SHELL. i.e.
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('GENERIC_SHELL') . '");');

Then if you want to get creative with a new custom template, you must add it using the vB3 admin control panel. Then when you fetch_template('newCustomTemplate') it will show up instead of the "white screen."

Someone want to confirm this?
