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(

);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

// #######################################################################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// #######################################################################

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Test Page';

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEST') . '");');

?>
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:
HTML Code:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header

$navbar

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
    <td class="tcat">Title</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="alt1">Text</td>
</tr>
</table>

$footer
</body>
</html>
All done
Now check it out by going to test.php

Who's Online Modification

Now if you want to show who is browsing this new page of yours, just open up includes/functions_online.php and find:
PHP Code:
    case 'bugs.php':
        $userinfo['activity'] = 'bugs';
        break; 
Below, add:
PHP Code:
    case 'test.php':
        $userinfo['activity'] = 'test';
        break; 
(Be sure to change the values to your own!)

Then find:
PHP Code:
        case 'modcplogin':
            $userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['moderator_control_panel_login'];
            break; 
Below add:
PHP Code:
        case 'test':
            $userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Test Page';
            break; 
All done!

----------------------------------

Also if you want to create your own pages 'within' current vBulletin files, do the following:

Open the file you want, and then right before the final ?> in the source code, add the following:

PHP Code:
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'xxx')
{
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEMPLATE_XXX') . '");');
} 
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!

Hi all.

I've benefitted from this page for quite some time now. I recently upgraded to 3.8.2 and now I'm having problems.

I have an upload applet inside a template called "upload" and I called the php file upload.php - I also added a template "uploaded" which is supposed to be called after the applet runs.

Here is my PHP file.
PHP Code:
<?php 
// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ########################### 
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 
// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS ####################### 
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1); 
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'upload'); // 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( 
'upload', 
); 
// pre-cache templates used by specific actions 
$actiontemplates = array( 
); 
// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################ 
require_once('./global.php'); 
// ####################################################################### 
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################ 
// ####################################################################### 
$navbits = array(); 
$navbits[$parent] = 'DJ Mix Upload'; 
$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits); 
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";'); 
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('upload') . '");');
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'uploaded') 
{ 
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('uploaded') . '");'); 
} 
?>
going to the upload.php?do=uploaded does NOT pull the uploaded template at all and goes back to the main upload template.

I've tried to add 'uploaded', to globaltemplates and actiontemplates but still nothing


Typing in upload.php?do=uploaded still shows the original template.


Any help would be helpful.

Thanks.

PHP Code:
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'uploaded')
{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('uploaded') . '");');
}
else
{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('upload') . '");');
} 
This is trivial. This thread is turning into a general templating and php/html tutorial.

This is why a seperate forum should be made just for people making custom vBulletin powered pages.

Do it! Do it!

Sorry to bring even more tutorial needed stuff, but say I had my main page and wanted to be able to click a link that said something like "B". How would I get it to rearrange all of my B content to only show?

Code:
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('main') . '");');

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'b')
{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('b') . '");');
}

How can I make a small table with a small border line, because my current border is like two lines wide.
