I'd like to setup a custom VB page using ajax tabs, each tab to pull the main home page of a mod.

I created a custom template called custom_Test

content:

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>Bible Online</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar


$footer
</body>
</html>

For example, I want to pull these two mods:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=200819
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=188189

I want each ajax tab to one of the mods' home page for example.

What code would I use to pull these?

Any help appreciated.

Which modification are you using for your ajax tabs?

Chadi · #3 02-27-2009, 09:32 PM

I'm not using any yet, but probably will just grab this one:
http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/ajaxcontent.htm

I need to some mix the ajax tabs and use iframes within each tab so there is no leaving the tab contents/pages.

Lynne · #4 02-27-2009, 09:38 PM

Well, I don't think you can come up with the template until you pick the method. I'm sure the method will determine what goes into the template. There are probably instructions with the method you use that outlines what needs to be done.

Chadi · #5 02-27-2009, 09:50 PM

My question is how to actuall pull the vb templates. What is the actual code to pull those templates.

For example:

For the video directory remixed mod, the main template is called VIDEO_SHELL (yes, caps)

The content is:

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - <if condition="$pagetitle">$pagetitle<else />$vbphrase[videos]</if></title>

<style type="text/css">
.nobullets {
    list-style: none;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
}
</style>

<style type="text/css" id="vbulletin_showthread_css">
<!--
#tag_edit_list { list-style:none; margin:0px; padding:0px; }
#tag_edit_list li { float:left; display:block; width:200px; }
#tag_edit_list li.mine { font-weight:bold; }
-->
</style>

$headinclude
$memberinfo_css

<if condition="$vbulletin->options['videodirectory_rssfeed']">
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="$vboptions[bbtitle] $vbphrase[videos] RSS Feed" href="video.php?do=rss" />

<if condition="$userinfo['userid']"><link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="$vboptions[bbtitle] $vbphrase[videos] - $userinfo[username]" href="video.php?do=rss&userid=$userinfo[userid]" /></if>

The reason I show the content of that template is just to show that at least for me, it appears thats the main template for the home page of that mod.

So, say I just want to test it with iframes (forget ajax tabs for a minute), what is the actual code to pull VIDEO_SHELLS?

I am already using iframes for another custom template called custom_Chat which has this for example:

Code:

<iframe name="I3" id="I3" src="http://www.talkjesus.com/misc.php?do=page&amp;template=chatroom" height="600" border="3" frameborder="0" width="100%" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" >Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames.</iframe>

That method to pull another custom template inside that frame works fine. But it doesn't work for me on VIDEO_SHELLS for some reason.

Lynne · #6 02-27-2009, 10:09 PM

You need to eval a template in order to spit it out in a template. So, somewhere on your page you would have something like:

PHP Code:


			
eval('$yourstuff .= "' . fetch_template('your_template') . '";');

Then you'd be able to use $yourstuff in your main template, custom_Test.

Chadi · #7 02-27-2009, 10:30 PM

Sorry, not understanding.

I did this inside custom_Test

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>Bible Online</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>

$header
$navbar

$yourstuff

eval('$yourstuff .= "' . fetch_template('custom_video') . '";');

$footer
</body>
</html>

I'm not a coder, please keep this mind

Lynne · #8 02-28-2009, 12:19 AM

The php, which is what the eval statement is, needs to go inside your php page.

I'm still lost.

I created a test.php page in root directory

Code:

<?php

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

// ##################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
// change the line below to the actual filename without ".php" extention.
// the reason for using actual filename without extention as a value of this constant is to ensure uniqueness of the value throughout every PHP file of any given vBulletin installation.

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'test'); 

// #################### 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(
        // change the lines below to the list of actual templates used in the script
        'custom_Test',
        'custom_video',
);

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array();

// ########################## REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

// #################### HARD CODE JAVASCRIPT PATHS ########################
$headinclude = str_replace('clientscript', $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/clientscript', $headinclude);

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

$navbits = array(); 
// change the line below to contain whatever you want to show in the navbar (title of your custom page)
$navbits[$parent] = 'Test Page';

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('$video = "' . fetch_template('custom_video') . '";');

// change the line below to contain the name of the actual main output template used in your script
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('test_mytesttemplate1') . '");');

?>

My template custom_Test is

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>Bible Online</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>

$header
$navbar

$video

$footer
</body>
</html>

custom_video

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - <if condition="$pagetitle">$pagetitle<else />$vbphrase[videos]</if></title>

<style type="text/css">
