vB3 menu on a non vb3 page

[Holidazed]

Can somebody please tell me how to add the vb3 menu on a standard html page?

I have a page I am adding to my site, but I want it to pull the navbar template and keep the cookie info from my vb3?

Ideas?

[rake]

first of all, you'd need some of the vbulletin functions, so you need to include the vb global file, then get the navbar, and then echo it.

<?php
chdir("path/to/my/forums");
include("./global.php");
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
echo $navbar;
?>

Is there anyway to do this without php?

[rake]

Copy & Paste from the navbar template and remove any variables or conditionals.

I did that, but the drop-down menus do not work.

I used the php you gave me annd it does not display the navbar. I then modified it to the following to include the header and got the same result.

<?php
chdir("/home/webbhelp/www/forums");
include("./global.php");
eval('$header = "' . fetch_template('header') . '";');
echo $header;
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
echo $navbar;
?>

[rake]

you'll also need the jscript and the headinclude

[rake]

I just tried the php code i gave you, and it works fine for me.

My code looks like this.
The link is as follows: http://hidingplace.com/BibleSearch/html/header.html. As you can see, the navbar template does not show the background colors that are usually behind the links, the drop-down menu images are not showing up and not working. The only reason it is pulling the title image and the background image is becuase I have hard coded them in the header template.

Ideas?

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=$stylevar[charset]" />
<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin $versionnumber" />
<meta name="keywords" content="$vboptions[keywords]" />
<meta name="description" content="$vboptions[description]" />
 
<!-- CSS Stylesheet -->
$style[css]
<if condition="is_browser('opera')">
<style type="text/css">
ul, ol { padding-left:20px; }
</style>
</if>
<!-- / CSS Stylesheet -->
 
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var SESSIONURL = "$session[sessionurl]";
var IMGDIR_MISC = "$stylevar[imgdir_misc]";
// -->
</script>
 
<script type="text/javascript" src="/forums/clientscript/vbulletin_global.js"></script>
<if condition="$show['popups']"><script type="text/javascript" src="/forums/clientscript/vbulletin_menu.js"></script></if>
 
<?php
chdir("/home2/webbhelp/www/forums");
include("./global.php");
eval('$header = "' . fetch_template('header') . '";');
echo $header;
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
echo $navbar;
?>

First of all, you're adding php into the middle of an html file. Unless you have changed your htaccess file to run html files as php, then this just doesn't work.
Secondly, I see you are placing vb if conditional statements right inside html. That just doesn't work.
