(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)

If you use the hack, clicking here will make sure you'll know about updates&bug fixes. It will also help me understand how many people is using the hack so please click the install button if you use it. Thank you..

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 very much! Imported all of our old templates ok. One curious thing.
The Display Page Browsers? setting isn't being remembered.
I'm selecting 'No' and saving but when I re-edit, it comes back 'Yes'.

Also the version number in the product manager reads 3.5.0.0 after installing version 3.5.0.3

Hello,

is it possible to do the following with this script (and how)?

http://www.mypage.de/forum/view.php?pg=aboutus

I want to show location and reputation of some users. Is this possible with any variable?

//edit: to say it clear: i don't want to use the included variables. i want to show those infos not for the current logged in (viewing) user. I want it for the user with userid=1 and for the user with userid=5 and so on.

Hello,

How does this application handle the templates? I have installed this, but an error shows up after viewing a page a few times that says:

"Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked."

The only URL this happens with are those with the extension "view.php?pg=pagename and only with the page listed as using the "TEXT Parse Method". (So far anyways. HTML pages haven't displayed this error yet.)

I don't have a redirection limit that I am aware of and it isn't a cookie issue. I have my site on a VPS and the only limits I have are on bandwidth and disk space (both I have plenty of).

My members are also getting this error, but they can all access the HTML page I created that links to the "caresheets". (I run reptile husbandry sites.)

For the time being I am going to toss the caresheets in a forum so my members can use them. I like how this deals with the permission system, so it would be great if I knew what was causing this. Thanks.

I dont think it is related to the hack. I suspect it is related to the server settings and especially active ".htaccess" files you have in the server. It sounds like server is causing an infinitive loop to this file for a reason hence this error message happens. I'd suggest you to check your .htaccess files and even temporarily remove/disable them to see if it helps. If this does not help and you want me to trace it more, give me FTP and vb admin cp access and I can try to check if I find a spare time.

Edit : If you turned on hack's SEO friendly URLs, try turning it off and also remove its .htaccess files and see if it helps. It can be it that is clashing with smt. in your server.
