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(
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:
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!
Hello, I have a page located outside of the vbulletin directory and the script is running smoothly. The page attempts to call cron.php, but it is showing up in my log that it can not find it. Where can I set the path to cron.php? Is there an option in the control panel or must it be done in code?
Put it in the PHP file, instead of using echo/print use variables, then just put the variable in the template. If that is too much work, I think you can use something like this:
PHP Code:
ob_start();
// All your PHP you want in the template here
$above = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean();
Then putting $above in your template would show all the PHP.
Thank you, I've been searching for this solution to include a separate index.php file for 3 hrs. This worked like a dream.
Just to make it clear what I did I'll show it for someone who is also looking:
Code snipet at end of custom page php file.
PHP Code:
// ####################################################################### // ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################ // #######################################################################
I put in "require_once('./bf2_status/index.php');" to get the php file. Then in the template where you usually put the html code for the content, I just put $above
