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());

?>
- Be sure to change 'TEST' to the actual template name (WARNING: the template name is CASE SENSITIVE!!!), and change 'test' to the filename or a unique name for the page. Also, change 'Test Page' and 'My Page Title' to whatever you want to show in the navbits, such as 'Viewing Member Profile' (just an example).

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).

the code for wol I put is:
Code:
switch ($filename)
{
    case 'PhantomGroup.php':
        $userinfo['activity'] = 'آل فانتوم';
        break;
// add more cases here if you have more than one custom page. no need for multiple plugins. one plugin can handle all.
}
Code:
switch ($userinfo['activity'])
{
    case 'فريق فانتوم':
        $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="PhantomGroup.php?'.$vbulletin->session->vars[sessionurl].'">فريق فانتوم</a>';
        $userinfo['action'] = "يشاهد صفحة آل فانتوم";
        $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 url to the page:
http://www.alphantom.com/forum/PhantomGroup.php

it seems the problem is picky, where some pages show fine and some not, like here:

The code for adding custom who's online entries has not changed at all.

My suspicion is that your issue may be related to the URLs people are actually using...why is there a trailing slash (/) after .php in your URLs?

index.php/ will report differently to index.php and thus may not be picked up by the custom WOL code you've entered.

This does not work correctly on mobile devices.

I couldn't figure out why my custom pages wouldn't load on my smart phone and would only work on a computer.

Once I turned off the designated style for mobile users via the vbulletin style settings, the pages load. But now I am unable to automatically assign the mobile style for mobile users which is a problem.

Is there a workaround for this lynne?

Either to turn off the mobile style for custom pages, or re-work the code so the custom pages are either mobile friendly, or load with a non-mobile style by default?

Essentially i get a blank white page if I visit one of these custom pages with a smart phone - Unless I DO NOT assign the mobile style to mobile users via the style settings in admincp.

You did add your custom template to the mobile style, too, did you?

I am probably beeing extra dumb today, but I think I followed the instructions carefully. My template is called static and my page is called 404.php. Uploaded it to the directory of the vbulletin installation and get the following when I try to open the page:

Code:
'404 Seite')); $navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits); // ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE 
GOES HERE ##### $pagetitle = '404 Fehlerseite'; // ###### NOW YOUR TEMPLATE IS BEING RENDERED
 ###### $templater = vB_Template::create('static'); $templater->register_page_templates(); 
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar); $templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle); 
print_output($templater->render()); ?>
Any hints are greatly appreciated.

@DoubleYou, you literally see the PHP code on the screen? That means you forgot to put the code after a <?php tag.

yes however not all of it. here is the code of the 404.php

Code:
<?php

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

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('THIS_SCRIPT', '404');
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('static',
);

// 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
require_once('./global.php');

// #######################################################################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// #######################################################################

$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => '404 Seite'));
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);

// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####
$pagetitle = '404 Fehlerseite';

// ###### NOW YOUR TEMPLATE IS BEING RENDERED ######

$templater = vB_Template::create('static');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
print_output($templater->render());

?>
