WebTemplates 3.5.x: VB Integrated CMS (Content Management System)

(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)

Hi Logican

Sorry, i should have explained a little better

Basically what i would like to do is create a list of all the members in one usergroup
namely ID: 26 and show it to all members so that members can check to
see if there name is on the list... Pretty much the same as the Showgroups works
but just want one usergroup on this specific page

[Problemsolver]

Really nice work but I got 2 questions.

1: How do I disable " Currently Active Users Viewing this Page: 2 (2 members and 0 guests) "?

2: How can I change the background if I create a new template? It uses a forum colour but not in a very nice way .

Superawesome!

I just wonder if it is possible to remove the text below or at least translate it? Cannot find it in phrases.

Page Visitors: 5, Last Visitor was Guest at Idag - 18:25.

You can remove the text inside theme webtemplate you are using.

Term "Never" is taken from vb phrase named "never". I guess it was in global phrases

I removed everything and still showing the copyright messages.

Any help?

I want to remove the vbulletin copyrights, not yours.

Please help

Hi Logician, about 3 years ago you send me a PM explaining how to remove the copyright notice. Today I upgrade to v. 3.8.2, the product still working great without having to upgrade it, but again, the copyright notice is appearing on the footer.
I dont know how, as I dont remember how to remove it, so I dont know how it got back there by just upgrading the vbulletin version.

Anyway, could you please send me a PM and explain me again how to remove it?

Thanks!!

Dear Logician I have been using your template mod very happily for 2 years just with usergroups permissions.
Didn't even REALISE I could make it per individual - though would be easier to select the names who CAN view rather than list all the rest who cannot.
Wonderful though.

I want to now make different personalised pages when my users login.
Anyone got any idea how to force login to go to one of these pages as set by usergroup or even individual?
If it was one page it would be simple but I'm going to have around 30 different ones.

Thanks!!
