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!
What would I need to go about to create a template called "header2" (so i can modify the other and not pull everything in) and call it via $header2 in the test template. I created a duplicate header (same code), but it doesn't want to pull and im not sure where it needs to be added to make it work.
i made another globals file and renamed header and called that through the script... im sure thats the long way, but given im changing the footer template too and im not huge on php, that seemed easy. I'm not sure what you mean by eval the template.

I meant to do just like in the first post, only use navbar2 instead:
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('Norcal 4x4 Forum Dark Side') . '");');
Do you have a template with that name?
And per the article, the stuff under the ?> is supposed to go into the template you create called "'Norcal 4x4 Forum Dark Side'" (usually we don't use spaces, but use _ instead.)
ya that's the template name... which basically is the default one but just changed the name.
goes in my template? like in the additional CSS box? it seems like that stuff would be in the file? or are you saying the first code in the instructions goes in the CSS template box? although the instructions said to put that in the notepad file? so I'm really lost haha. thanks for any help :up:
