Want to create your very own vBulletin powered page which includes the header, footer, and the user permissions system as well?
Well now you can
Want to know how it will look? Take a look at the attached screenshot below!
Now includes the Who's Online modification! Also, instructions included on how to create your own pages that are integrated with current vBulletin files!
I'm going to give you a generic page but you can easily modify the contents of the page by changing the template
So here we go
Instructions:
Create a new file, whatever you want to call it (let's say test.php).
Open up test.php and add the following (replace TEST with whatever template you want to show):
PHP Code:
<?php
// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ########################### error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS ####################### define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1); define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'test'); // change this depending on your filename
// ################### 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( 'TEST', );
// pre-cache templates used by specific actions $actiontemplates = array(
Be sure to change 'TEST' to the actual template name, and change 'test' to the filename. Also, change 'Test Page' to whatever you want to show in the navbar, such as 'Viewing Member Profile' (just an example).
Now create the template, called TEST with the following content:
Replace 'xxx' with whatever you want ?do= in the query string to be (for example, replace 'xxx' with 'showprofile' so then someone would type in example.php?do=showprofile to view this template.) Then of course, change TEMPLATE_XXX to your template name, it's that simple!
I have made several pages but I was wondering if it would be possible to add some forum sections to 1 of these pages?
I'm also searching for some forum content to show in custom pages. I managed to include a shout box. I'm trying to get "who's online" showing and "latest posts/threads".

I've basically put this idea on the back burner for the time being and have set up VB on my PC to play with it and see what I can do and learn.
It's not difficult - store your script's working directory in a constant/variable, chdir to the vBulletin working directory, call global.php, and then chdir back to your script directory.
Basically, just do this:
Code:
// vBulletin path (edit the value)
define('VBULLETIN_CWD','/var/www/vhosts/yourwebsite.com/httpdocs/');
// Do not edit anything below
// Your script path
define('YOURSCRIPT_CWD', (($getcwd = getcwd()) ? $getcwd : '.'));
// Switch to vBulletin directory
chdir(VBULLETIN_CWD);
// Call backend
require_once('./global.php');
// Switch back to your script directory
chdir(YOURSCRIPT_CWD);
This is an entirely different issue. This is a problem with the html of the website.
Keep in mind that most links to images, stylesheets, scripts used within vBulletin are relative to the forums path. So, if you want to output templates that link to images in your forums' directory using relative links, you can probably just add a base href tag. Of course, having a link to your forums/custom page would make finding the cause of this small issue very easy.
But in the template temp1 I want to add another custom template something temp2
when I run this script it does not show the content of template temp2 ?
why?
