(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:

OK, I see what you are talking about:

http://www.usandworldpolitics.com/fo...w.php?pg=test2

The only thing I don't get is that it says from "Forum 2." How can I can I change the Webtemplate code to get it to take data from the forums where people are actually posting and not "Forum 2?"

Thank you.

Yes I think vbadvanced lets you have additional pages. Refer to their help guides for more info.

Thank you.

In that template you will see a call to a WQ_query_name_here

Then find that query, click on edit, and in there towards the top there is a select query. You should be able to change the forums you want it to call from in there. I haven't got access to my ACP at the moment so that is all from memory. If you read the help guides it will also help you understand how webtemplates and web queries work together

Razasharp · #**544** 11-21-2006, 01:12 AM

what forums do you want it to show from? or all of them?

Yes, all of them. Except for the private and moderator forums of course.

FreshPrince · #**546** 11-21-2006, 02:08 AM

In my admin panel, I clicked on "WebQueries" and saw under option 3:

3- $WQ_last10threadfromforum2
Gets last 10 threads title/author/date from forum 2 [edit] [remove]

I clicked on edit, here's what it says in the "Query" box:

Quote:

SELECT threadid, title, postusername,postuserid,dateline
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread
WHERE sticky=0 AND visible=1 AND forumid=2
ORDER BY dateline DESC
LIMIT 10

So, if I wanted to take threads from all my forums (except for the private forums and moderator forums) what should I change in there?

Thanks

WEB

Razasharp · #**547** 11-21-2006, 02:22 AM

try this:

SELECT threadid, title, postusername,postuserid,dateline
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread
WHERE sticky=0 AND visible=1
ORDER BY dateline DESC
LIMIT 10

FreshPrince · #**548** 11-21-2006, 03:18 PM

I think I got it figured out now. Thanks for your help.

One note I would like to make is that I got caught up for a while with one problem. That's basically that you can put in the webquery code (i.e. $WQ_last10thread ) into the webtemplate, however it will do nothing unless you also go into the admin cp and then go into the section "Logician's WebTemplates" then into the "WebTemplates" edit the templates that you want and CHECK OFF the queries that you want to enable in that template. I'll take a picture of it with my photoshop program to fully illustrate my meaning later.

This is just something you probably want to tell noobs, like myself, as it did hold me up for a while.

Thanks again.

WEB

Glad you got it sorted

Yes, you need to check the box for the WQs you want to use with that particular WT

Edit theme "Default Basic Theme", play with (or remove) part:

PHP Code:


			


<tr> 

  <td class="thead" align="left">Page 

      Visitors: <b>$count</b>, Last Visitor was $WT[lastvisitorname] 

      at $WT[lastvisitdate]. $WT_Editor_link<br>

      Page Created at <b>$creationdate</b>, Last Modified 

      : <b>$lasteditdate</b>.</td>

 </tr>

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