The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

About Developer · **Released**: 07-28-2008

(This hack is for vb version 3.7.x & 3.8.x ONLY. For vb 3.6.x, 3.5.x, 3.0.x and 2.x see my profile for relevant threads.)

"WebTemplates" is a vBulletin integrated Content Management System which allows you to create vb integrated "HTML" pages in your vb admin cp very easily. The pages can inherit your vbulletin skin/style, can recognize logged-in user, can be applied permissions per user or usergroup basis, can keep visit logs, hit counts and do many more.

VB4 version Update (9.9.2010): Please find 4.x version of WebTemplates4.x in its own thread.

WEBTEMPLATES 3.7.x BASIC FEATURES:

Very Easy Installation : Webtemplates can be installed to your board without modifying even a single vbulletin file. It is coded as a vb product and can be imported very easily.
Apply VB Permissions: You can ban any webtemplate to any user or usergroups easily. So for instance you can design a webtemplate which only members can see while guests can not, or only user A can not see etc.
Page Counter : Each webtemplate has a built-in counter and you can display page count to your visitors and you can edit it or turn it OFF/ON per webtemplate basis.
Visitor Logging&Tracking : You can track certain users' (by usergroup or userid) webtemplate visits to see who visited a webtemplate and when. This is configurable per webtemplate basis.
Site Contributers (Editor) Support : You can grant editing permissions for certain users or usergroups for your webtemplates individually and they will be able to update these webtemplates using their own editor interface. vB's WYSIWYG editor is supported in Editor interface.
Page Browsers & Who is Online Display: Webtemplates can display who is browsing that webtemplate while visitor is reading them (like default forum browse display of vbulletin). Webtemplate visits can also be monitored in who is online page.
Header/Footer Inclusion : Webtemplates can automatically use headers/footers (your default vb header/footer or custom ones)
Help Documents : The script comes with an extensive help document.
Admin Panel in Webtemplates : Your webtemplates can include an "admin panel" displayed to only admins and by using them you can access many details and stats of your page while you are browsing them.
SEO friendly URLs: You can make webtemplate URLs seo friendly in vb settings (Requires apache server).
XML Import/Export : XML Import/Export feature allows you to backup your webtemplates and use other hack users webtemplates in your board.

ADVANCED FEATURES FOR ADVANCED USERS:

Webquery Feature : With advanced "webquery" feature you can create dynamic webtemplates which include database query results. For instance you can easily add "last 10 threads forum X", "most active users list" etc. to your webtemplates with default webqueries that comes with installation or you can create your custom webqueries with basic SQL knowledge.
Multi Parsing : Webtemplates can parse PHP or HTML or TEXT (=smilie/img tags/bbcode parsing like vb posts). This means you can design a page just like vb posts (TEXT parsing), standart HTML (HTML parsing) or even in PHP (PHP parsing).
PHPINCLUDE per webtemplate : Every webtemplate has its own "phpinclude" field which you can run PHP codes before loading the Webtemplate
Theme Support : Webtemplates support "themes" which are parent webtemplates which include child webtemplates in them. For instance if you have 20 similiar pages which uses the same visual look, you can make a single theme for all of them, then just insert their content into this theme. If you change theme later, all 20 pages' visual will change automatically.
Conditionals : Webtemplates supports VB3 template conditionals so you can design webtemplates which change their display under different conditions.
Default variables : You can use/display certain variables in your webtemplates like username of the visitor, visitor email address, last visit time, page creation time, page last edit time, Last visitor name, last visit time etc.

Sample WebTemplates from Sites using this hack:
(Some 3.5 and some are 3.0 versions but WebTemplate look and feel didn't change much so both will give you the idea.)

(Actually this hack is one of the most popular vb hacks so it is used by hundreds -if not thousands- of vbulletin sites and you can easily find them if you go to google and search "Logician's WebTemplates" WITH quotation marks)

3.5 version Admin CP screenshot attached to this post. 3.0.x screenshots (here and here) also still applies for this version.

If you use the hack, clicking here will make sure you'll know about updates&bug fixes. It will also help me understand how many people is using the hack so please click the install button if you use it. Thank you..

About this 3.7.xx Version: This 3.7.xx version is same as previous 3.6.x version. 3.6.x version was already working in vbulletin 3.7.x except a few minor bugs and these bugs are fixed in this version to make it dedicated solely to vbulletin 3.7.x. Please see "what's new" in the next post for more details.

Version Updates:

* Hack 3.7.00 is released.

For those that are using this mod and the vbSEO mod the following rule will rewrite the URL's to be more SEO friendly.
I've just been working on this with the vbSEO guys and thought it would be useful posted here as well.
It gets entered in to the Define Custom Rewrite Rules Section.

HTML Code:

'^view\.php\?pg=(.+?)$' => 'page-$1.html'

Works a treat!

The URL's now become http://yoursite/forums/page-nameofpage.html

Man i really wish i could get this to work..
This would make the last few years of trying to build a seperate website obsolete.!!

Can someone tell me if it is possible, to build a functional web page within my forums.?
such as..
put this type of site - http://www.gamelobby.com/Forum/warriorbreed (can be much simpler)
into a page like this - http://www.gamelobby.com/Forum/view.php?pg=test

So that the menu on the side is still part of the page.?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Although I haven't analysed what you've done the answer I think is yes.
I've just built a simple php application using this mod that embeds nicely within vB now. When you couple that with the vbSEO mod I think this mod has a great future.

I'd think it is possible. Just create a webtemplate with a iframe in it and put your page into this iframe in the webtemplate.

Can someone assist?

Much appreciated...

Open view.php, find this line:

PHP Code:


			
//construct_forum_jump();

After that add:

PHP Code:


			
if ($vbulletin->options['vmoods_active'] && $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] > 0 && !in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], explode(",", $vbulletin->options['vmoods_usergroups'])))
{
 $vmoods_list = explode("\n", $vbulletin->options['vmoods_list']);
 $vmoods_path = $vbulletin->options['vmoods_images_path'];
 
 foreach ($vmoods_list as $vmood)
 {
  $vmood = trim($vmood);
  $vmood_id = ($vbulletin->userinfo['vmood'] == $vmood) ? 'mine' : $vmood;
  
  if ($vbulletin->options['vmoods_li_option'] == 'text'){
   eval('$vmoods_li .= "' . fetch_template('vmoods_li_text') . '";');
  } else  
  if ($vbulletin->options['vmoods_li_option'] == 'images'){
   eval('$vmoods_li .= "' . fetch_template('vmoods_li') . '";');
  }
 }
 
 eval('$vmoods_form = "' . fetch_template('vmoods_form') . '";');
 
    $footer = $vmoods_form . $footer;
}

What about you also try iframe method? So instead of running your autoindex file in a php webtemplate, create a regular HTML webtemplate which as a iframe in it and then run your autoindex inside this iframe?

Yup thats exactly what we did.. not sure if that is the perfect way to acheive what we want, but it is damn close, & will work for now.!! :up:

Will the html code work on here also.?

HTML Code:

'^view\.php\?pg=(.+?)$' => 'page-$1.html'

Without vBSEO.?

I should think about adding vBSEO.. I've always just been afraid it would screw things up. :erm:

Gamelobby · #**431** 04-29-2009, 11:30 PM

I got a question about this.. (or maybe this should be posted elsewhere)

Using iframes, how can i create a page that will pull info from a socialgroup.?
Like a members page that takes the data straight from a group page, so the group page becomes their admin page.

Does that make sense.?
