Header/Footer Integration to Custom Website

[dmm2020]

First, I do appreciate the links, but they do not answer what I want to do, but instead show how to put pages within vBulletin.

Probably better at my end to explain exactly what I am after. The website I am writing is an online software registration website that will be used to license use of our software online. I do not want it in any way shape or form to be inside vBulletin or even administered inside admincp.

The registration website will be Smarty based and use a variety of means to determine if a site is licensed or not.

All I want to do is give the website the same header, navbars, and footer that vB users, whether it be via include() or another means. I do not want to create a module or page within vBulletin at all and I think that is where confusion arises. For security reasons, we are making the license registration site for our software completely separate from vBulletin, but we still want the same look.

on the website, in the header file, try including /forumpath/global.php - its not tested, but global contains all the forum information so should have a bit of better luck with it that way.

The proces is the same. To show the vBulletin header/footer, you will need to setup the basic environment as described in those threads, include global, and out the contents of the templates. Even if you are not using any of the other function, as the template functions only work within a vBulletin environment. You might not need to use the entire example files in those threads but you will need to use the basics.
