I would like to add my own custom php code to the vbulletin templates.

I have modified the templates to give me a column on the left hand side. I would like to place my own code in here to display information from a DB not associated with Vbulletin.
This code will display for example a list of links stored in a DB, images stored in a DB etc....

In terms of php coding I am fine, but am unsure where to even start to add it to the templates.

Could anyone point me to a tutorial or provide some insight where to start? I have searched for several hours and come up with nothing useful.

Cheers

You can not use PHP in templates, they are HTML only.

You will need to create a plugin and assign the output of your PHP code to a variable. The variable can be used in the template.

Have a look here: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/t..._externalfiles. I found this really helpful.

That's not really a good idea.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
