Just create your own pages, mate.

Create a file called jacob.php (replace 'jacob' with the name you want) and input the following:

(this PHP will work so long as you aren't using a form to pass data)

PHP Code:


			
<?php 



// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ########################### 

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 



// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS ####################### 

define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1); 

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'jacob'); // 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( 

    'JACOB', 

); 



// pre-cache templates used by specific actions 

$actiontemplates = array( 



); 



// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################ 

require_once('./global.php'); 



// ####################################################################### 

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

// ####################################################################### 



$navbits = array(); 

$navbits[$parent] = 'Jacob's Page'; 



$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits); 

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

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('JACOB') . '");'); 



?>

Throughout that file replace 'JACOB' (both lower and higher cases) with whatever you require.

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('JACOB') . '");'); - "JACOB" is the name of the template within your vB Admin CP.
$navbits[$parent] = 'Jacob's Page'; - Where it says 'Jacob's Page' that is what appears in the navigation menu at the top of the page: Index > This Page

Save the file.

Then go to your Admin CP and go to Style Manager, create a template by clicking on the drop-down menu on your style list and input the following information:

PHP Code:


			
$stylevar[htmldoctype]

<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">

<head>

<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - Your Page</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">Header Title</td>

</tr>

<tr>

    <td class="alt1">Content goes here..</td>

</tr>

</table>



$footer

</body>

</html>

Why are you copying the content of an article to post as your own reply instead of simply linking to the article: How to create your own vBulletin-powered page! (uses vB templates)

It definitely would have been a lot simpler

Here is an updated version of the article given above: [How-To] vBulletin API Basics: Creating Custom Pages & Misc. may also include some extra stuff if you need it.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
