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!

You need to name your template "custom_test". Your .php file must be named "test.php" for the template call to work.

Every new template must have the prefix "custom" and an underscore, ie. custom_test

this is the link you should use for every custom page you create. just replace the last word with your custom page name
Code:
http://www.yourdomain.com/misc.php?do=page&template=test

That's not how this tutorial works. You'll notice it says to create a template called TEST, not custom_TEST. It's says nothing about adding a prefix. That URL that you posted takes you to misc.php and is very much how the custom pages within vBadvanced work. But how can you possibly get to a file named test.php when your navigating to misc.php? Their two different pages. This tutorial teaches you how to create a page without the do= string at the end.

For example, the very first page I created using this tutorial is here: www.cogonline.net/forums/banners.php

The template name I use is BANNERS. The file is banners.php. Navigating to misc.php misc isn't going to take me anywhere near this page.

Dude, did you miss the part where I said I have over 40 pages created like this? Each page .php page has it's own name and that name matches up with custom_same page name.

test.php matches up with custom_test =
Code:
http://www.yourdomain.com/misc.php?do=page&template=test
test1.php matches up with custom_test1=
Code:
http://www.yourdomain.com/misc.php?do=page&template=test1
test2.php matches up with custom_test2 =
Code:
http://www.yourdomain.com/misc.php?do=page&template=test2
Don't tell me it doesn't work, because this is how this mod works.

I didn't say it didn't work. I said that's not how this tutorial works. This tutorial creates individual .php pages with unique names for each one. With your method, the .php pages your creating aren't even being used. Not to mention, the point of the tutorial is to navigate to a page called test.php, not misc.php. You'll notice that nothing your saying is even mentioned in this tutorial.

I can't seem to force users to login to view my page created with this script.

What do I need to do to force guests to login so they can view the page?
