[HOW TO - vB4] Create your own vBulletin page

[kh99]

I guess it wasn't cookies then - it was just a thought.

Thanks for the try:

As Lynne suggested, I tried adding:

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}" />

near the top of my template. When the page is rendered and I view the page source it gets implemented as:

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="guest" />

And consistent with not being properly logged in on this page I see the following in the page source.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
	var SESSIONURL = "";
	var SECURITYTOKEN = "guest";
	var IMGDIR_MISC = "images/misc";
	var IMGDIR_BUTTON = "images/buttons";
	var vb_disable_ajax = parseInt("0", 10);
	var SIMPLEVERSION = "418";
	var BBURL = "http://www.touringmotorgliders.org";
	var LOGGEDIN = 0 > 0 ? true : false;
	var THIS_SCRIPT = "knowledgebase";
	var RELPATH = "kb/knowledgebase.php";
	var PATHS = {
		forum : "",
		cms   : "",
		blog  : ""
	};
	var AJAXBASEURL = "http://www.touringmotorgliders.org/kb/";
// -->
</script>

I am still looking for that command to put into the code (index.php of KBPublisher, knowledgebase.php, or my template) to get me logged into the vBulletin system.

If it isn't recognizing you, then the global.php file isn't getting called/included correctly.

[Rocket2009]

Yes, I agree that I am having trouble getting global.php called correctly through this rendering system.

I have tried adding

chdir ('/home/touring7/public_html/');
require_once('./global.php');

to /kb/index.php
to /kb/knowledgebase.php
and directly to the template in my style called KBPublisher (if you are following my earlier post)

and I have had no luck.

If I just load knowledgebase.php at the browser, I am logged in fine.

As you recall from earlier post, kb/index.php calls /kb/knowledgebase.php as a kb template which then calls the vB template KBPublisher. Everything displays as expected but I am not logged in.

I even tried defining a tag called {global_load} to try and insert an additional call to global.php by inserting the php code to no avail.

Two ideas:

(1) Do I need to 'register' a page such as /kb/index.php?

(2) Perhaps I could call global.php at /kb/index.php to define security tokens and etc and then pass that code via a tag to the vbulletin template via the /kb/index.php rendering system. Suggestions for what form that code should take?

Please help me get the global.php called and working correctly.

I am continuing to experiment and I might be close, if I can get some help:

In the /kb/input.php I place the following code:

$curdir = getcwd ();
chdir('/home/touring7/public_html/');
require_once('./global.php');
chdir ($curdir);
.
.
.

$page->assign('global_load',$vbulletin->userinfo['securitytoken']);

I have a tag I created in my template called {global_load} which renders the page correctly but on top of the page it prints out the security token obtained from the global call /kb/index.php. So this verifies that I can pass a global variable (security token) through the rendering process.

Can someone suggest a way I can get that rendered page to accept the security token so it will see me as logged in?

Thanks.

That isn't going to work. You need to follow the tutorial.

I am having a small problem and want to see if anyone can assist me.

I am trying to create a list with HTML and it isn't recognizing it, any ideas?

Here is a sample of what I am putting in:

<ul>
<li> item name </li>
<li> item name </li>
</ul>

I used the same code in making a new faq item and it worked fine, but not working in this form.

You need to make the css for ul and li
