Few vbcoding queries

[veenuisthebest]

1. vB uses this code to redirect to any location (in our case page.php), how do I redirect to previous page that user accessed?

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->url = "page.php" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'];
  if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_linkdir', true, true));} 


I then found this:-

PHP Code:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_login.php');    
$vbulletin->url = fetch_replaced_session_url($vbulletin->url); 


But it isn't working for me. How do I go a couple of pages back from history ?

2. How do I create online locations for my sub-pages like for do=this and do=that

3. After reading Send PMs (automatically), it was easy to send PM's. Just have a few queries, what does $pmdm->set_info('is_automated', true); AND cache_permissions($fromuser, false); does ? coz I can't see any difference with/without them.

4. How do we use vbmail function in our page? I think there's something wrong in my code as I am getting very late mails OR not getting them at all. The other default mailing functions are working perfect i.e. I receive mails instantly when using contact us or any other email function but only not through my custom page.

PHP Code:

$emailto = "email@email.com";
$subject = "my email subject";
$message = "my message body";
vbmail($emailto, $subject, $message);

i am still waiting... !!!!!

The main problem i am facing is with my first question. What the problem is that I have to create similar two sub-pages just because I want both of them to redirect at different locations on submitting the form.

For ex. with the below code in page.php?do=this, it would redirect to page2.php. Now how to redirect the same to page3.php depending on the source page from where the user accessed page.php?do=this

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->url = "page2.php" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'];
  if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_linkdir', true, true));} 


Thanks

$vbulletin->url already contain the referer page the user was on before clicking the link/button ... if you modify that variable, it is renewed to your new value.

and how to go one more page back ?

You can't, unless you keep passing the value on...

alright thanks for the help uptill now.

A small question plz:-

I am storing date in unix timestamp format and retrieve it with vbdate(). Fine ! It simply displays in text field.

But I want to retreive it just the way vb does it i.e. in combo/list boxes so that i can edit/update it.

Month     Date     Year     HH  MM  SS

How to retrieve it in the above format in list boxes with correct date/time selected.

Thank You

PHP Code:

$date = explode('-', vbdate('j-n-Y-H-i-s', $dateline));
list($day, $month, $year, $hour, $minute, $second) = $date; 


[veenuisthebest]

oh can't get it work !

see I have this in my PHP

$row_timestamp = explode('-', vbdate('j-n-Y-H-i-s', $result['TIMESTAMP']));
list($day, $month, $year, $hour, $minute, $second) = $row_timestamp;

and $row_timestamp in template.

It displays simple "Array" and no list boxes are displayed too

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Ofcourse, you are creating an array with explode().

[veenuisthebest]

ya I can notice that explode is creating a problem. So, how to get it working plz.. ?
