Mini Mods - Unknown Location

Description:

This modification will let you define a name for your external files replacing the Unknown Location message, usually in Who's Online & Members Profile pages.

Tested With:

• vBulletin 3.6.8
• vBulletin 3.7.0 Beta 4

Changes:

• [v1.0.2] fix a minor bug and support for multiple queries.
• [v1.0.1] added a 3rd optional parameter to identify the page with a query string.
• [v1.0.0] first release.

Installation & Upgrade Instructions:

Upload the product & configure the settings for the product Unknown Location.

Notes:

The location of your files are relative to you web root.
With multiple queries, using the standalone file simultaneously, you must ensure that the standalone file comes first:

/file.php:My File
/file.php?do=hello:My Hello:do=hello
/file.php?do=hello&do=goodbye:My Goodbye:do=goodbye

The change is made in the "online_location_unknown" hook. If your page doesn't call this hook, nothing will be changed. To know wich hooks are called, run your board with debug mode on.

How to Use:

File Name:Page Name:Optional Parameter for Query String

/portal.php:Portal
/forum/misc.php:Misc Page
/forum/misc.php?do=hello:Hello:do=hello (using 3rd parameter for misc.php?do=hello)
/forum/misc.php?do=thanks&do=something:Thanks:do=thanks (using 3rd parameter for misc.php?do=thanks)

Please Mark as Installed!

Brent, that's because I remove all query strings from the file. I can define an option for this.

[Allan]

Very nice, great

[MrNase]

Please add a setting for that query strings. Thanks!

Maybe two textareas, one where the query string is removed and one where the query string remains.

Hi,

Added a 3rd optional parameter where we can define a query string:
/index.php?page=downloads will be set as -> /index.phpownloadsage=downloads

@Brent: I hope this solve your problem!

I have this:

domai.com/irc_stats/index.php (custom vbulletin page the code bellow);

PHP Code:

<?php

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

// ##################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'irc_stats');

// #################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
//$phrasegroups = array('threadmanage', 'posting', 'postbit');

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array(
);

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array(
        'irc_stats',
);

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

// ########################## REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
//require_once('./global.php'); // only if custom page is in default board folder

define('patch_crazy', (($getcwd = getcwd()) ? $getcwd : '.'));

chdir("/home/myuser/mydomain.com/forum");
require_once('./global.php');
chdir(patch_crazy);

...
.....
........

And in plugin I use this:

irc_stats/index.php:IRC STATS

But, still showing 'main board page'. How to fix it?

I have other page mydomain.com/forum/map.php

and in plugin:

/forum/map.php:The Map page

Work fine.

Hi,

Try /irc_stats/index.php:IRC STATS.
If that doesn't work, what is the path that you see in your Members Profile:

[testebr]

Entrys:

/irc_stats/index.php:IRC STATS
irc_stats/index.php:IRC STATS

Result:

Viewing Index my_board_title_here

The title with link to board index (/forum/index.php).

My board: domain.com/forum/index.php
My irc_stats: domain.com/irc_stats/index.php

[nfn]

Hi,

If domain.com/forum/index.php is you default index for you board, the title will not be changed.
Where can I get the stats mod you are using to test myself?
