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 wan´t a custom page but i also want this page to have some other page in it like this
test.php as it says in this article and then i also want test.php?do=test to be another page i tried to put that code below everything but it did not work..
i also wanna know how i fix so test.php?do=test2 is only shown to some usergroups but not all, but test.php and test.php?do=test should be allowed to everyone.
@top_end_ms - It's really messy to say the least .. even vB's own blog is simply at /blog.php. Some mods that I have are the same way. I hate having random files in my forum root.
I got it working finally. First I copied the client scripts folder into the separate folder I want. Had to copy the /images folder as well (or else no images show up). Then I had to go into the header template and make absolute links for the menu options (or else they came up as domain.com/customfolder/name.php). Still having some issues with the "Search" working on the custom page (keeps going to customfolder/search.php) but other than that, it's as perfect as it will get. Maybe no one will try to search on those pages. Give it a try!
(Not sure if having two client script folders is going to break anything, security issue, etc? Will find out I guess...)
