misc.php rules hack

[bigdaddy04]

Hi everyone,
I was wondering, is there a hack for something like this:
http://hostingdiscussion.com/misc.php?s=&action=rules
Or where can I find instructions on how to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

that be a simple action change, however you could use in vB3 the faq manager to accompllish it. are you using vB2 or vB3?

vB2,
i know it should be simple, just a few lines added to misc.php and a new template, im just not sure of what to do exactly..

if you hold on a moment ill unzip 2.3.4 and make the nessary modifactions and share them

first make a new template with your rules and whatever else youd like to have in there
make sure its called misc_rules

now

in misc.php find ?>

and add above

PHP Code:

// ####### Rules #######
if ($action=="rules") {
$templatesused = "misc_rules";
include("./global.php");
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("misc_rules")."\");");
} 


i think that should be it lol ^^

Hi Faranth..

I got a question, say I want to add another page, not rules, just another page to misc.php..

What is the principal of doing that?

same steps find ?>

add above

PHP Code:

 // ####### Page #######
if ($action=="page") {
$templatesused = "misc_page";
include("./global.php");
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("misc_page")."\");");
} 


change page to whatever you want, but make sure that templatesused and gettempalte are the same

btw. it's vb3 style, but as it's nicer than vb2's style you should use this:

PHP Code:

eval('dooutput("' . gettemplate('misc_page') . '");'); 


instead of

PHP Code:

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("misc_page")."\");");
