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(
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:
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!
Hi Thanks for the Hack! Ive created a couple of pages.
I put some php coding into the template in ACP to run a news feed but it doesnt work, just shows the coding on the page.
Can these templates use php coding? or just scrictly HTML? Is there a way around this, would I have to put that php code within the .php file for it to work?
Put it in the PHP file, instead of using echo/print use variables, then just put the variable in the template. If that is too much work, I think you can use something like this:
PHP Code:
ob_start();
// All your PHP you want in the template here
$above = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
Then putting $above in your template would show all the PHP.

Thanks Alot TheSpecialist! Ill try this out. Where would I put this coding you have above? Anywhere within the .php file?
I tried it and it didnt work. How do I delete a template that I just created in the ACP? I dont see an option for it. I just want to get rid of it. Ill make my own .php files for the news feeds. Thanks
Well post your PHP file, hard to tell what you're trying to do without seeing it. Revert = delete, unless it is a default template, then it just goes to the unedited version (or inherited).
