I try to make a page outside the forum and I tried my best to understand how this howto works:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=98009

I tried to reproduce the template, but all I achieve on my test server is a blank page.

test.php:

PHP 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', 'test'); 

// #################### 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
        'test_mytesttemplate1'
);

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

// ########################## REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

$curdir = getcwd();
chdir('board/');
require_once('global.php');
chdir($curdir); 

// #################### 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] = 'Test Page';
$navbits = construct_navbits($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('test_mytesttemplate1') . '");');

?>

test_mytesttemplate1.php

PHP Code:


			
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
$headinclude
<title>$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">My Custom Page Title</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">Other Bluff...</td>
</tr>
</table>

$footer
</body>
</html>

Is there really something wrong with this?

You need to go to your vBulletin Styles and Manager, from the drop down of your style click on Add New Template then title it:

Code:

test_mytesttemplate1

paste this code in there:

HTML Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
$headinclude
<title>$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">My Custom Page Title</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">Other Bluff...</td>
</tr>
</table>

$footer
</body>
</html>

Then click Save. Done, access your test.php file and it should work.

The tamplate is no file!
Check this to see how it works http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/m...r_add_template

You have to make a page to be called when the url is entered.

The page calls a template within your vb ACP.

Yes, you need both a page and a template. I have 76 personalized vb powered pages.

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