I'm trying to create a custom page based on this tutorial, but am only getting a blank page as a result. What am I doing wrong here?

script:

Code:

<?php 

// ######################## SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ########################### 
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 

// ##################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS ####################### 
// change the line below to the actual filename without ".php" extention. 
// the reason for using actual filename without extention as a value of this constant is to ensure uniqueness of the value throughout every PHP file of any given vBulletin installation. 

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'thanks_leaderboard');  

// #################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ###################### 
// get special phrase groups 
$phrasegroups = array(); 

// get special data templates from the datastore 
$specialtemplates = array(); 

// pre-cache templates used by all actions 
$globaltemplates = array( 
        // change the lines below to the list of actual templates used in the script 
        'thanks_leaderboard', 
); 

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions 
$actiontemplates = array(); 

// ########################## REQUIRE BACK-END ############################ 
require_once('includes/./global.php'); 

// #################### HARD CODE JAVASCRIPT PATHS ######################## 
$headinclude = str_replace('clientscript', $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/clientscript', $headinclude); 

// ######################################################################## 
// ######################### START MAIN SCRIPT ############################ 
// ######################################################################## 

$navbits = array();  
// change the line below to contain whatever you want to show in the navbar (title of your custom page) 
$navbits[$parent] = 'Thanks Leaderboard'; 

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits); 
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";'); 

// change the line below to contain the name of the actual main output template used in your script 
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('thanks_leaderboard') . '");'); 


?>

template:

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
$headinclude
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
</head>
<body>

$header
$navbar

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" 

align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">Thanks Leaderboard</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">Other Bluff...</td>
</tr>
</table>

$footer
</body>
</html>

PHP Code:


			
// pre-cache templates used by all actions 
$globaltemplates = array( 
        // change the lines below to the list of actual templates used in the script 
        'thanks_leaderboard', 
);

Remove the comma after the 'thanks_leaderboard'

Also

PHP Code:


			
// ########################## REQUIRE BACK-END ############################ 
require_once('includes/./global.php');

Is wrong, did you read the section on "Using vBulletin-powered scripts outside vBulletin Directory" on the tutorial in your original post?
Something like:

PHP Code:


			
$curdir = getcwd();
chdir('path/to/forums/');
require_once('global.php');
chdir($curdir);

Should work.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
