Question about creating a custom template

[GotVtec]

I am trying to use a custom template on a page: http://www.v6performance.net/featuredcar/. However, the paths to the images and links in the $navbar are all incorrect because they are relative to the /forums/, how can I fix this for all of my custom templates?

Thanks!

Here is my script,

<?php

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

// ##################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
// change the line below to the actual filename without ".php" extention.
// the reason for using actual filename without extention as a value of this constant is to ensure uniqueness of the value throughout every PHP file of any given vBulletin installation.

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'custompage'); 

// #################### 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(
        // change the lines below to the list of actual templates used in the script
        'custompage'
);

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

// ########################## REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
chdir('/path/to/forums');
require_once('./global.php');  

// #################### HARD CODE JAVASCRIPT PATHS ########################
$headinclude = str_replace('clientscript', $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/clientscript', $headinclude);

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

$navbits = array(); 
// change the line below to contain whatever you want to show in the navbar (title of your custom page)
$navbits[$parent] = 'Custom Page';

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

$custompage = implode('', file('/path/to/custom/page.html'));

// change the line below to contain the name of the actual main output template used in your script
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('custompage') . '");');

?>

How do I set the $navbar back to /forums/ ?

You would have to do it in your template code where you use the path to your images.

<img src="forums/$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/thread$thread[statusicon].gif" title="Test" />

Also, if this is a shared template then you can just add a variable in place of "/forums/" and then only populate it if its the custom page as it will be blank for regular pages and populated for custom

<img src="$forums/$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/thread$thread[statusicon].gif" title="Test" />
