About Developer · **Released**: 12-15-2005

(This hack is for vb version 3.5.x AND 3.6.x. For vb 3.0.x and 2.x see my profile for relevant threads.)

(For vb 3.7 version, please go to this thread)

"WebTemplates" is a vBulletin integrated Content Management System which allows you to create vb integrated "HTML" pages in your vb admin cp very easily. The pages can inherit your vbulletin skin/style, can recognize logged-in user, can be applied permissions per user or usergroup basis, can keep visit logs, hit counts and do many more.

WEBTEMPLATES 3.5.x BASIC FEATURES:

Very Easy Installation : Webtemplates can be installed to your board without modifying even a single vbulletin file. It is coded as an pluggin and supports phrase system for user interfaces.
Apply VB Permissions: You can ban any webtemplate to any user or usergroups easily. So for instance you can design a webtemplate which only members can see while guests can not, or only user A can not see etc.
Page Counter : Each webtemplate has a built-in counter and you can display page count to your visitors and you can edit it or turn it OFF/ON per webtemplate basis.
Visitor Logging&Tracking : You can track certain users' (by usergroup or userid) webtemplate visits to see who visited a webtemplate and when. This is configurable per webtemplate basis.
Site Contributers (Editor) Support : You can grant editing permissions for certain users or usergroups for your webtemplates individually and they will be able to update these webtemplates using their own editor interface. vB's WYSIWYG editor is supported in Editor interface.
Page Browsers & Who is Online Display: Webtemplates can display who is browsing that webtemplate while visitor is reading them (like default forum browse display of vbulletin). Webtemplate visits can also be monitored in who is online page.
Header/Footer Inclusion : Webtemplates can automatically use headers/footers (your default vb header/footer or custom ones)
Help Documents : The script comes with an extensive help document.
Admin Panel in Webtemplates : Your webtemplates can include an "admin panel" displayed to only admins and by using them you can access many details and stats of your page while you are browsing them.
SEO friendly URLs: You can make webtemplate URLs seo friendly in vb settings (Requires apache server).
XML Import/Export : XML Import/Export feature allows you to backup your webtemplates and use other hack users webtemplates in your board.

ADVANCED FEATURES FOR ADVANCED USERS:

Webquery Feature : With advanced "webquery" feature you can create dynamic webtemplates which include database query results. For instance you can easily add "last 10 threads forum X", "most active users list" etc. to your webtemplates with default webqueries that comes with installation or you can create your custom webqueries with basic SQL knowledge.
Multi Parsing : Webtemplates can parse PHP or HTML or TEXT (=smilie/img tags/bbcode parsing like vb posts). This means you can design a page just like vb posts (TEXT parsing), standart HTML (HTML parsing) or even in PHP (PHP parsing).
PHPINCLUDE per webtemplate : Every webtemplate has its own "phpinclude" field which you can run PHP codes before loading the Webtemplate
Theme Support : Webtemplates support "themes" which are parent webtemplates which include child webtemplates in them. For instance if you have 20 similiar pages which uses the same visual look, you can make a single theme for all of them, then just insert their content into this theme. If you change theme later, all 20 pages' visual will change automatically.
Conditionals : Webtemplates supports VB3 template conditionals so you can design webtemplates which change their display under different conditions.
Default variables : You can use/display certain variables in your webtemplates like username of the visitor, visitor email address, last visit time, page creation time, page last edit time, Last visitor name, last visit time etc.

Sample WebTemplates from Sites using this hack:
(Some 3.5 and some are 3.0 versions but WebTemplate look and feel didn't change much so both will give you the idea)

Note in 6.August. 2006 : I've tested Webtemplates with vbulletin 3.6.0 gold version and they are compatible. So this hack released here is both for vb 3.5.x AND 3.6.x

Note for vb 3.7.x : (29.July.2008): For vb 3.7.x, I released a new version here:

Thanks for your nice reply. Very sorry Logician to hear that, but I am personally wishing you best of luck with your job...I know the feeling.

Now, where exactly do I add "$headinclude"? I tried adding it to my header and to the template and it didn't work. Also I am using "no parent template" option.

Here is how I use this:

(Parse method is PHP)

Code:

include("/home/httpd/vhosts/MYSITE.com/httpdocs/scripts-includes/top.php");
include("/home/httpd/vhosts/MYSITE.com/httpdocs/scripts-includes/newsletter-google.php");

$userid=$bbuserinfo['userid'];
    $usrObj=new users($userid);
    $username=$usrObj->getUsername();
    print("$popupthepm");

$mesg=$_POST[mesg];
                if(!$mesg)
                $mesg=$_GET[mesg];

echo <<<TOP
<div align="center">
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse: collapse">

            <tr>
                <td width="1">&nbsp;</td>
                <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><strong><font class=mesg>
                $mesg</strong>
            </tr>

TOP;
echo <<<MAIN

<!----------- BEGIN HTML ----------->


lalalalala MY HTML goes here


<!----------- /HTML ----------->


<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="7" cellpadding="5" bordercolor="#C0C0C0">
<tr> 
  <td class="thead" align="left">Page 
      Visitors: <b>$count</b>, Last Visitor was $WT[lastvisitorname] 
      at $WT[lastvisitdate].<br>
      Page Created at <b>$creationdate</b>, Last Modified 
      : <b>$lasteditdate</b>.</td>
 </tr>
</table>
    </td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
        </tr>
      </table>

MAIN;
echo <<<BOTTOM
</table>
</div>
BOTTOM;
include("/home/httpd/vhosts/MYSITE.com/httpdocs/scripts-includes/footer-newsletter.php");

Mayeb you can take a look at it.

vb $headinclude should come before </head> tag so you must include it somewhere inside your included file:
include("/home/httpd/vhosts/MYSITE.com/httpdocs/scripts-includes/top.php");

If you can't do it for some reason, alternatively you can remove your vb tags in your code. Eg. don't use

class='thead'

inside your webtemplate.

I am not sure what or how to properly code up the include inside my /home/httpd/vhosts/MYSITE.com/httpdocs/scripts-includes/top.php so I can't do that.

So I went for your alternate way, and I didn't have any "thead" in my tempate other than how it's shows up in my last post.

EDIT: I fooled around with it and now my CSS works LOL

Question, I've uploaded "wt_wt.php" but it can't find the file when I'm in the ACP... Any help would be appreciated!

Make sure you uploaded, includes/xml/cpnav_webtemplates.xml and then refreshed the admincp

King Kovifor · #**337** 06-18-2006, 04:30 PM

I've uploaded it, and i've restarted my browser about 4 times... It's still not working.

Another Note: In 3.6.0 Beta 2, you can't export your templates...

And if you do something like delete template (as i've renamed it and uploaded a second copy wt_webtemp.php) it will register wt_wt.php?do=killtemp and those things.

So is this board version 3.6.0? Sorry but I didn't confirm the hack works with that version yet. This is probably why.

King Kovifor · #**339** 06-18-2006, 04:37 PM

So far everything works except the reading of the file as wt_wt.php and the export templates...

OK I've solved my problem with the file by editing the file wt_wt.php. replacing anything wt_wt with wt_webtemp

tommyxv · #**340** 06-19-2006, 04:24 PM

I installed this on a fresh 3.6 beta 2 install (my test forum) and it works without any problems.

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