Miscellaneous Hacks - Custom pages based on your vBulletin forum !

Elsalam Alikom
Hi
with that Product you can make pages based on your vBulletin forum
just create a new template with prefix page_
ex:
when I create a template
page_Ali
the url of that page will be :
http://www.example.com/forum/pages.php?p=Ali

and you can also make a default fpage
edit template called pages_default
and write your own code !


Installing product :
Upload : pages.php to your vBulletin root folder
Install the xml file via AdminCP
Make it as Installed !
Enjoy

You can control the product from AdminCP->Settings->Options->Custom Pages
and you can also rename pages.php

How can I add my content to the php page file? like html content? What do you mean "create a new template" How do I create a new template? what is a template? is it the same as a style? Sorry for my newb questions. I was just so used to the mod called bf easy pages and now it doesn't work with vbulletin 4.0.2 All I did was enter my html code and it would display it. I don't know where to enter the html code with this. Can you please clarify my questions? thank you

I am trying to add php code, but the page wont show... any ideas why?

[Battle_Ring]

this is much needed, but the directions here are very bad, how i nthe heck to you create pages?

[zeroality]

4.0.2 broke this (doesn't display the style correctly), but you can easily fix it by replacing all {vb:var vbcsspath} with {vb:raw vbcsspath} in the page_default (or your own custom) template.

The breadcrumb navigation only shows "My Page" for all custom pages.

Is there a way to use the title of the custom page instead?

Great mod by the way.

i did that and it says the same name on all the custom pages so if you make more than one then they all have the same breadcrumb...that can be an issue

is there anyway to make the breadbrmb work with the subpages?
For example, my main page is called Games, one subpage is Mablibs
instead of having the breadcrumb be {home_icon} Games for lal pages
could it be {home_icon} Games > Madlibs?

I have been looking at the code, but I am not familiar enough with VB4 yet, to figure it out...

EDIT: Ok, I got it working.

replace (in page.php)

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

//$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => $vbulletin->options[bbtitle])); 
$navbits = construct_navbits(array('games.php' => $vbulletin->options[madkour_custom_pages_nav]));
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);

with

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

$subpagetitle = $HTTP_GET_VARS[p];
if($subpagetitle == ""){ $navbits = construct_navbits(array('games.php' => $vbulletin->options[madkour_custom_pages_nav]));
 } else { $navbits = construct_navbits(array('games.php' => $vbulletin->options[madkour_custom_pages_nav], '' => $subpagetitle)); }


//$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => $vbulletin->options[bbtitle])); 
//$navbits = construct_navbits(array('games.php' => $vbulletin->options[madkour_custom_pages_nav]));
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);

This sets the breadcrumb to your template name
so if the page is page_test the breadcrumb will be test

Somehow I can't get this thing to work . When I create custom template, namely page_example and when I call that page in the browser ....?p=example it gives me this:

Notice: Use of undefined constant p - assumed 'p' in C:\wamp\www\upload\pages.php on line 9

Notice: Undefined variable: HTTP_GET_VARS in C:\wamp\www\upload\pages.php on line 9

Notice: Undefined variable: p in C:\wamp\www\upload\pages.php on line 10


Any help? Using VB 4.0.3 PL1 on a local test site on WAMP.
