Here is a trick that allows you to create vBulletin pages without plugin or php files.
  • Create one template named "custom_wazaaaa", add in:
PHP Code:
{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<
html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">
  <
head>
    <
title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</title>
    {
vb:raw headinclude}
  </
head>
  <
body>
    
    {
vb:raw header}
    
    {
vb:raw navbar}
    
    <
div id="pagetitle">
      <
h1>{vb:raw pagetitle}</h1>
    </
div>
    
    <
h2 class="blockhead">Titre de la page (title page)</h2>
    <
div class="blockbody">
      <
div class="blockrow">
        
Le texte que vous souhaitez mettre (the text)
      </
div>
    </
div>
    
    {
vb:raw footer}
  </
body>
</
html
  • It'll just create a link to this url: /forum/misc.php?do=page&template=wazaaa
  • The template MUST be named custom_xxxxxx - change xxxxxx to whatever you want.
  • When call the page, you enter template=xxxxxx where xxxxxx is the part of the template name after custom_
PS: You are free to customize the text in the template

I was thinking this might make an easier way to integrate my current php scripts, using this article to create header and footer templates. I should have known somehow some way things would screw up, it just seemed to easy.
PHP Code:
<?php
include_once('/home/ahfb/public_html/ahfb2000.com/public/4test/misc.php?do=page&template=css2header');
?>

Gives me the error
Quote:
Warning: include_once(/home/ahfb/public_html/ahfb2000.com/public/4test/misc.php?do=page&template=css2header) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ahfb/public_html/ahfb2000.com/public/4test/cssgenerator2.php on line 2

Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/ahfb/public_html/ahfb2000.com/public/4test/misc.php?do=page&template=css2header' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /home/ahfb/public_html/ahfb2000.com/public/4test/cssgenerator2.php on line 2
Not being a programmer, my guess is that .......I am clueless


UPDATE

I found that due to the variables
(/home/ahfb/public_html/ahfb2000.com/public/4test/misc.php?do=page&template=css2header will not work, it must be done with the url
Code:
include('http://www.ahfb2000.com/4test/misc.php?do=page&template=css2header');
which leads to error "URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration " in addition to the previous errors. To solve this you are supposed to change php.ini to read

allow_url_fopen = On
and
Allow_url_include = On

Still have all 3 errors ...hmmm


oops, forgot to reload apache, now my errors are
Quote:
Warning: include(http://www.ahfb2000.com/4test/misc.p...ate=css2header) [function.include]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required in [path]/cssgenerator2.php on line 3

For the condition used for the tab, did you try this?
PHP Code:
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'misc'
or, you may have to do:
PHP Code:
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'misc' AND $_REQUEST['template'] == 'whatever'
Something like that should work. Play with it.

Exactly what are you trying to do? You don't want to include the whole misc.php page in another script. Where are you adding the php code to include the misc.php page? If you have other php pages already, you probably would do better following this - [HOW TO - vB4] Create a own vBulletin page

update..again
removing the htaccess, now it works perfect!!

Problem is how can I have a secret hidden test folder to get everything setup

--------------- Added [DATE]1260373985[/DATE] at [TIME]1260373985[/TIME] ---------------

Lynne,

I used your tutorial on my static pages, it is very well writtin and was easy to follow, worked a charm . On my scripts, well that is a different issue. I read 3 or 4 different tutorials and just could not get my pea-brain wrapped around the concept. Once this one was published I knew that though it may not be the optimal method to use, I could probably make it suit my needs.

Yes, it does have downfalls, I must either go live and do the work on the live pages without htaccess or find a way for the include to send the htpasswd (thinking it can be done but have not investigated yet). The biggest possible downfall is potential security issues having Allow_url_fopen and Allow_url_include = On. I have read there could be issues but have not read what these issues could be. Is it possible you could enlighten me to these issues and any others I may not be aware of?

thanks

You should probably post that sort of question out in the general forums. I'm really not a security expert (I know just enough for my little site!), but there are some server guys around who could probably answer your question.

I am about to give up, using my method the login does not work. Lynne, this particular script I am working on is a very simple proprietary tool. I hate to post this here for help as there are many attempts on the net to copy it. Do you mind if I pm you?

I've read and reread this article and completely do not understand it. Could someone give a step by step and explain things for a neophyte like myself. I am trying to wrap my site pages with vB headers, footers and widgets, and I think this is what this is supposed to do.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
