[HOW TO - vB4] Create your own vBulletin page
This is an updated article on how to create your own vbulletin powered page. It's only for use with vB4. This is NOT my work. I'm posting this from another thread where vB Style took the time to write this out. And his work is based on the article by Gary King here - How to create your own vBulletin-powered page! (uses vB templates) Instructions to Create your Own Page: 1. Create the php page: - 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 - WARNING: the template name is CASE SENSITIVE!!!): Code:
<?php // ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ########################### error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); // #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS ####################### define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'test'); define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true); // 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 ############################ // if your page is outside of your normal vb forums directory, you should change directories by uncommenting the next line // chdir ('/path/to/your/forums'); require_once('./global.php'); // ####################################################################### // ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################ // ####################################################################### $navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'Test Page')); $navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits); // ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE ##### $pagetitle = 'My Page Title'; // ###### NOW YOUR TEMPLATE IS BEING RENDERED ###### $templater = vB_Template::create('TEST'); $templater->register_page_templates(); $templater->register('navbar', $navbar); $templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle); print_output($templater->render()); ?> 2. Create the Template: - If you are in debug mode, create the template in your MASTER STYLE so it shows up in all your styles, otherwise make sure you create the template in the style you are using. If following the page above, call the template TEST (WARNING: the template name is CASE SENSITIVE!!!) with the following content: HTML Code:
{vb:stylevar htmldoctype} <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html"> <head> <title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle} - {vb:raw pagetitle}</title> {vb:raw headinclude} {vb:raw headinclude_bottom} </head> <body> {vb:raw header} {vb:raw navbar} <div id="pagetitle"> <h1>{vb:raw pagetitle}</h1> </div> <h2 class="blockhead">Title</h2> <div class="blockbody"> <div class="blockrow"> Text </div> </div> {vb:raw footer} </body> </html> Instructions to Add your Page to the Who's Online List (WOL): Create two plugins using the following hooks. Replace mypage and similar with your information. 1. hook location - online_location_process: Code:
switch ($filename) { case 'test.php': $userinfo['activity'] = 'mypage'; break; // add more cases here if you have more than one custom page. no need for multiple plugins. one plugin can handle all. } 2. hook location online_location_unknown: Code:
switch ($userinfo['activity']) { case 'mypage': $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="test.php?'.$vbulletin->session->vars[sessionurl].'">My Page</a>'; $userinfo['action'] = "Viewing My Page"; $handled = true; break; // add more cases here if you have more than one custom page. no need for multiple plugins. one plugin can handle all. } The colored part in the code above shows what you need to change in the plugins (both reds should be the same and both blues should be the same, whereas green can be whatever you want). Please see this article for help with rendering templates - [vB4] Rendering templates and registering variables - a short guide |

What template does this refer too?
Code:
"- Open up test.php and add the following (replace TEST with whatever template you want to show - WARNING: the template name is CASE SENSITIVE!!!):" |

That would be the template you are going to use to display the new page.

If this is your own vbulletin page, did you generate the hook code for your WOL? Go back to the original article and re-read the section "Instructions to Add your Page to the Who's Online List (WOL)".

What version did you upgrade from and to? And are their errors in your error_logs (if you don't know where they are, ask your host)? And, what is the *exact* code you put into the plugins for the WOL online plugin? And, what is the link to the custom page?

I would have to know what version you were running and what version you upgraded to. What version of PHP are you now using?
