Want to create your very own vBulletin powered page which includes the header, footer, and the user permissions system as well?

Well now you can

Want to know how it will look? Take a look at the attached screenshot below!

Now includes the Who's Online modification!
Also, instructions included on how to create your own pages that are integrated with current vBulletin files!

I'm going to give you a generic page but you can easily modify the contents of the page by changing the template

So here we go

Instructions:

Create a new file, whatever you want to call it (let's say test.php).
Open up test.php and add the following (replace TEST with whatever template you want to show):
PHP Code:
<?php

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

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'test'); // change this depending on your filename

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array(

);

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

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

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

);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

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

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Test Page';

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEST') . '");');

?>
Be sure to change 'TEST' to the actual template name, and change 'test' to the filename. Also, change 'Test Page' to whatever you want to show in the navbar, such as 'Viewing Member Profile' (just an example).

Now create the template, called TEST with the following content:
HTML Code:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header

$navbar

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
    <td class="tcat">Title</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="alt1">Text</td>
</tr>
</table>

$footer
</body>
</html>
All done
Now check it out by going to test.php

Who's Online Modification

Now if you want to show who is browsing this new page of yours, just open up includes/functions_online.php and find:
PHP Code:
    case 'bugs.php':
        $userinfo['activity'] = 'bugs';
        break; 
Below, add:
PHP Code:
    case 'test.php':
        $userinfo['activity'] = 'test';
        break; 
(Be sure to change the values to your own!)

Then find:
PHP Code:
        case 'modcplogin':
            $userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['moderator_control_panel_login'];
            break; 
Below add:
PHP Code:
        case 'test':
            $userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Test Page';
            break; 
All done!

----------------------------------

Also if you want to create your own pages 'within' current vBulletin files, do the following:

Open the file you want, and then right before the final ?> in the source code, add the following:

PHP Code:
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'xxx')
{
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEMPLATE_XXX') . '");');
} 
Replace 'xxx' with whatever you want ?do= in the query string to be (for example, replace 'xxx' with 'showprofile' so then someone would type in example.php?do=showprofile to view this template.) Then of course, change TEMPLATE_XXX to your template name, it's that simple!

Be careful, this is not the correct and safe way to do it, but if you build your test.php page like this :

PHP Code:
<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1); 
define('GET_EDIT_TEMPLATES', true); 
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'releases'); 
$phrasegroups = array(); 
$specialtemplates = array(); 
$globaltemplates = array(); 
$actiontemplates = array(); 
// require_once('./includes/vba_cmps_include_template.php');
// chdir('/srv/www/www.bodyweb.it/forums/');
 require_once('./global.php'); 
// $vbulletin->options['homeurl'];
        $navbits = array(); 
        $navbits[''] = 'Prodotti'; 
        $navbits = construct_navbits($navbits); 
        eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";'); 
      //  eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('prodotti') . '");'); 

     // **** include code
    //  **** Template HTML echo instead of   eval template and plugin ****

      echo"
      $stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir='$stylevar[textdirection]' lang='$stylevar[languagecode]'>
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] -  Prodotti</title>
$headinclude
<script type='text/javascript' src='./forums/clientscript/vbulletin_global.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='./forums/clientscript/vbulletin_menu.js '></script>
</head>
$header
$navbar


//  **** more code.


$footer
</body>
</html>";
      
      
       
      
?>
You just need one page, you can also include part of header template and footer template

All you really need to do is make a template for each respective style on your forum, using this same tutorial.

No idea. I'm just responding the to the question about how to have a users style show up on that page. In fact, if you have multiple styles, you have to make a template for each style, otherwise you get a blank page.

If you have multiple styles, ideally they should be in a heirarchy. Just add the template to the top level and it will be inherited by child styles.

The question of how to execute php from templates is being asked frequently. The answer is that you cannot. It is not supposed to be that way. The primary objective of templating is to separate logic (php) from presentation (templates).

Search for my posts in this thread. I have explained the whole thing with code examples.

I knew, it was a rhetorical question, this is why I was looking for shortcuts.
By the way, you can execute code in a plugin but it's a p.i.t.a.

You never changed TEST on this line to your template name.
