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(

);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

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

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Test Page';

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

?>
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:
HTML Code:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</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">Title</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="alt1">Text</td>
</tr>
</table>

$footer
</body>
</html>
All done
Now check it out by going to test.php

Who's Online Modification

Now if you want to show who is browsing this new page of yours, just open up includes/functions_online.php and find:
PHP Code:
    case 'bugs.php':
        $userinfo['activity'] = 'bugs';
        break; 
Below, add:
PHP Code:
    case 'test.php':
        $userinfo['activity'] = 'test';
        break; 
(Be sure to change the values to your own!)

Then find:
PHP Code:
        case 'modcplogin':
            $userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['moderator_control_panel_login'];
            break; 
Below add:
PHP Code:
        case 'test':
            $userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Test Page';
            break; 
All done!

----------------------------------

Also if you want to create your own pages 'within' current vBulletin files, do the following:

Open the file you want, and then right before the final ?> in the source code, add the following:

PHP Code:
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'xxx')
{
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEMPLATE_XXX') . '");');
} 
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!

Should this work with the VB 4 beta?

Alright. I've searched and search and cannot find the solution to my problem.

I'm basically trying to create a wrapper.

PHP Code:
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('clanRoster_start_page') . '");');

echo "test.";

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('clanRoster_end_page') . '");'); 
Basically, 'clanRoster_start_page', displays the vBulletin header, navigation bar, and opens a table.

'clanRoster_end_page', closes the table, and displays the footer, etc.

----
It seems that the script is stopping after it displays the 'clanRoster_start_page' template. Anyone have any idea?

Not working for me at all. I created a new template named "TEST" then in my forum root /forums/test.php

I created the file test.php above. Then when I go to the page I get this error message:

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3796

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/speed/public_html/forums/test.php(42) : eval()'d code on line 1

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3796
= 'Test Text Here!! ';

--------------- Added [DATE]1259482783[/DATE] at [TIME]1259482783[/TIME] ---------------

I got it fixed a little more but still have error messages on my page showing this now:

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3796

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/speed/public_html/forums/test.php(42) : eval()'d code on line 1

You're getting that error because you're using vBulletin 4 right? This article is for vBulletin 3 versions. See the article here for vBulletin 4

I installed the mod and it works great, but I could not get the viewing online members part to work.

Code:
    case 'bugs.php':
        $userinfo['activity'] = 'bugs';
        break;
This does not exist in my functions_online.php file

Is there something else I can searc for to make sure i get it in the right spot?

I'm using 3.8.4 VB

Thank you for the mod, and thank you in advance for the help...

You could create an online location by using plugins (which I prefer over editing php files) by having a look at the article here as well.

Hope that helps you

Try this:
PHP Code:
$tabaux .= '<tr><td class="alt1">'.$col1.'</td><td class="alt1">'.$col2.'</td></tr>';
