any help !

You just render a different template per do usually:

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'this'){
$templater = vB_Template::create('TEST');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
print_output($templater->render());
}

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'that'){
$templater = vB_Template::create('TEST2');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
print_output($templater->render());
}

thank you Lynne
in the template "TEST2" it has carry on the head and footer like the template TEST
is it correct ?

[Lynne]

TEST2 would look like whatever you make it to look like. You could even just use the exact same template, TEST, if you have the same variable names and such. I'm just giving an example in my post.

i got a second template as you sample. Lynne thanks
but i can put out the info from database (it's blank) it's so complicated to me

// initialize db content
$view = $db->query_read(
	"SELECT d.*, c.*
	FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "doc AS d
	LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "doc_cat AS c ON (d.id = c.catid)
	WHERE c.catid = '$docid'
");
    while ($viewer = $db->fetch_array($view))
    {
        $title = $viewer['docname'];
        $content = $viewer['document'];
        $describe = $viewer['docdes'];
        $press = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $viewer['postdate']);
// register templates 
    $templater = vB_Template::create('TEST_2');
    $templater->register_page_templates();
    $templater->register('docid', $docid);
    $templater->register('viewer', $viewer);
    $templater->register('title', $title);
    $templater->register('content', $content);
    $templater->register('describe', $describe);
    $templater->register('press', $press);
$my_doc_view .= $templater->render();
    }
    
$db->free_result($view);
// start the navbar
$navbits = array();
$navbits['test.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q'] . ""] = "Create Own Page";
$navbits[''] = "Test Viewer";

$templater = vB_Template::create('TEST2'); 
$templater->register_page_templates(); 
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar); 
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
$templater->register('my_doc_view', $my_doc_view);
    $templater->register('viewer', $viewer);
    $templater->register('title', $title);
    $templater->register('content', $content);
    $templater->register('describe', $describe);
    $templater->register('press', $press);
    $templater->register('my_cat', $my_cat);
print_output($templater->render());
{

in the template TEST2 (like i do for categories is work fine in the front page)
i insert these line
{vb:raw my_doc_view} (the other template i call TEST_2)
and in the template TEST_2 i tried to point some info that i already register :
{vb:raw title}
{vb:raw content}

then i got a blank view

any idea Lynne

If you need help getting the queries working and such, then you really need to post in the main forums. I can't go through everyone's code that posts in this thread.

And if you are getting a blank page, it could be that you didn't put the template into the style you are using to view your page.

[Davidinh]

oh okay Lynne, thanks for your time

but the problem it not on the second template page It shows out fine without the info that i try to put out from database
however, sorry about mess up the posting here Lynne

Sincerely,

well, finally, i got them all Lynne
thank you for you time

I took the sample from file profile.php of vbb4 and study the way they used the template "USERCP_SHELL" and apply your tutorial

and now my test page it word great
some kind of variable as

// set shell template name
$shelltemplatename = 'USERCP_SHELL';

then it drops down the # of register template
Just call variable by {vb:raw whatever}

hope this help somebody who likes me )
Sincerely,

I did this and it works perfectly. Unfortunately it won't work with PHP files that I am trying to include in my custom page. I made a thread about it here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2038959

Can Lynne (or anyone?) help me get this working?

[Lynne]

It looks like Cellarius helped you out and you are now up and running.

[FCS-Webmaster]

[thezman]

I have a simple question. I want a customer page that displays a table I created in Dreamweaver. Where do I place the html to have it display on my customer page?
