Sure does. Retrace your steps or try again, making sure you followed the steps exactly. It seems a lot of folks are misinterpreting what making a PHP file and what making a template means.

Hello,

I got about 20 pages in and realized it was a 49 page thread.

I followed the steps, and got the page working - no problem.
I'm sure this question was asked before, but...

How do you get PHP code working inside of the template?
All my pages have custom written PHP functions.

Thank you in advance.

Templates are not supposed to execute code. This is not just with vbulletin, but the entire concept of templating is separation of presentation from code (business logic).

Execute the php before calling the template, keep the presentation data in certain variables, and use the template just to show those variables.

I'll give it a try, thanks.

Can I configure this so that the user has to be logged in to see this? I have pages with content I don't want readily available to guests.

I'm using 3.7.0 and I want 'ONLY' registered users to see my vbpowered pages. I don't want them available to unregistered guests.

I checked herebut what template or folder page gets edited?

Here is what mine looks like. I can't get the permissions to work.

<?php 

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ########################### 
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS ####################### 
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1); 
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'downloads'); // 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( 
    'downloads', 
); 

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions 
$actiontemplates = array( 

); 

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

// ####################################################################### 
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################ 
// ####################################################################### 
if ($vbulletin->userinfo->userid==0)
{
    print_no_permission();
}
$navbits = array(); 
$navbits[$parent] = 'downloads'; 

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

?>
