Do this:

Create a file titled "vbglobal.php" with the following contents and upload it to your public_html directory. Make sure to edit the value of $forumpath to the absolute forum path.

PHP Code:


			
<?php
/* ################################################################ *\
   Created By: Ken Iovino

   --
   Copyright ?2007 iVino, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
   This file may not be redistributed in whole or significant part.       
\* ################################################################ */

// enter the absolute forum path. (Use ending slash!)
$forumpath = "/home/name/public_html/forum/";

// move to vBulletin directory
chdir($forumpath);

// require vBulletin's core file
require_once($forumpath . 'global.php');

// bass CSS infomation
$basecss = "<base href=\"" . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/\">";

?>

Then anytime you create a new file in the public_html directory, you could use this:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

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

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'scriptname');

// ################### 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();

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

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

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

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('template_name_here') . '");');

?>

Make sure to edit the "template_name_here" to the template you want to use. Hope this helps.

Here is a quick default template:

HTML Code:

$stylevar['htmldoctype']
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
    <!-- no cache headers -->
    <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
    <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
    <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
    <!-- end no cache headers -->
    $basecss
    $headinclude
    <title>Your Title</title>

</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar

    my code here

$footer
</body>
</html>

Having the $basecss in place insures that all your links "should" point to the correct path.
