[Release] Simple vB powered web page

Author: Anime-loo
Screenshot: None.

This script is for webmasters that still use .html static pages for their sites. The point of this script is to allow you to be able to edit your html pages via the vB admin cp (templates).

This opens up alot more for anyone useing vB with a html website. Here is a quick list of things you can do with this script:

Back up ALL html pages, they are stored in the database so you no longer have to backup your static html pages then grab your DB.

Block guest/not logged in users from a page.

Quick editing of all pages via vB's template system.

Have pages that change styles based on what the user has selected in their user cp:
--Use all global templates ($header,$footer,$gobutton) in pages.

--Use all replacements in your pages.

I plan on extending this script alot more soon, ATM it was wrote to kill time.

Is there a way to make the page use one style (other than the default one), and override user's preference?

[Brad]

Try adding this:

if ((!isset($styleid) or $styleid=="") {
$styleid="$setstyleid";
}

after:

$templatesused='$template';

And this:

// set this to the custom style of the page
$setstyleid = "1";

after:

// Edit this line with the full _path_ to your vBulletin global.php file (not /admin/global.php!!!)
$path = "/path/to/globals/";

[Bad Bunny]

Parse error on the line with
if ((!isset($styleid) or $styleid=="") {

I hate to be a nag, but should I assume that this is currently not possible to force a style on a page?

[Brad]

I look into it, and add a few more things when i release version 2 (coming after loo-portal). For now you can just link the page like so:

www.yoursite.com/page.php?styleid=*number of style id here*

[Bad Bunny]

Hmmm. I will have to wait I guess. I do not allow changing of styles by members. Different areas change styles by default. So this does not seem to work for me.

I am having a problem, it seems that all of a suddent the access masks on this stopped working because all pages that I have that say no to guests are still viewable by guests Any ideas of what could be causing this?
