This is an updated article on how to create your own vbulletin powered page. It's only for use with vB4. This is NOT my work. I'm posting this from another thread where vB Style took the time to write this out. And his work is based on the article by Gary King here - How to create your own vBulletin-powered page! (uses vB templates) Instructions to Create your Own Page: 1. Create the php page: - 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 - WARNING: the template name is CASE SENSITIVE!!!): Code:
<?php
// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'test');
define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);
// 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 ############################
// if your page is outside of your normal vb forums directory, you should change directories by uncommenting the next line
// chdir ('/path/to/your/forums');
require_once('./global.php');
// #######################################################################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// #######################################################################
$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'Test Page'));
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);
// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####
$pagetitle = 'My Page Title';
// ###### NOW YOUR TEMPLATE IS BEING RENDERED ######
$templater = vB_Template::create('TEST');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
print_output($templater->render());
?>
2. Create the Template: - If you are in debug mode, create the template in your MASTER STYLE so it shows up in all your styles, otherwise make sure you create the template in the style you are using. If following the page above, call the template TEST (WARNING: the template name is CASE SENSITIVE!!!) with the following content: HTML Code:
{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">
<head>
<title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle} - {vb:raw pagetitle}</title>
{vb:raw headinclude}
{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}
</head>
<body>
{vb:raw header}
{vb:raw navbar}
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>{vb:raw pagetitle}</h1>
</div>
<h2 class="blockhead">Title</h2>
<div class="blockbody">
<div class="blockrow">
Text
</div>
</div>
{vb:raw footer}
</body>
</html>
Instructions to Add your Page to the Who's Online List (WOL): Create two plugins using the following hooks. Replace mypage and similar with your information. 1. hook location - online_location_process: Code:
switch ($filename)
{
case 'test.php':
$userinfo['activity'] = 'mypage';
break;
// add more cases here if you have more than one custom page. no need for multiple plugins. one plugin can handle all.
}
2. hook location online_location_unknown: Code:
switch ($userinfo['activity'])
{
case 'mypage':
$userinfo['where'] = '<a href="test.php?'.$vbulletin->session->vars[sessionurl].'">My Page</a>';
$userinfo['action'] = "Viewing My Page";
$handled = true;
break;
// add more cases here if you have more than one custom page. no need for multiple plugins. one plugin can handle all.
}
The colored part in the code above shows what you need to change in the plugins (both reds should be the same and both blues should be the same, whereas green can be whatever you want). Please see this article for help with rendering templates - [vB4] Rendering templates and registering variables - a short guide

Hi Lynne, and thank-you for the quick response. It only appears to be occuring when viewing with IE8 (yep, agree that it is crap, but unfortunately most of the government departments here in Oz are still using it)... Also only occurs when not logged on (ie. as a guest) and is okay once logged in.  Specific pages are: http://www.aiyj.org/vb/about_aiyj.php http://www.aiyj.org/vb/aiyj_news.php http://www.aiyj.org/vb/faq.php http://www.aiyj.org/vb/aiyj_associate.php http://www.aiyj.org/vb/aiyj_member.php Cheers, Ian

Your navtab template is all messed up. Your html is totally incorrect. firefox and other browsers are most likely "correcting" it for you and IE is giving you exactly the mess you are outputting. This is the html you have for what should be the third tab (you have a blank <li> </li> for the second tab, and your fourth tab, according to your html, is the About Us tab).
HTML Code:
<li class="selected" style="padding:0px"> <ul class="floatcontainer"> <li><a rel="help" href="faq.php" accesskey="5">FAQ</a></li> <ul class="popupbody popuphover"> <li> <a href="forumdisplay.php?do=markread&markreadhash=guest" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to mark all forums as being read? This cannot be undone.')">Mark Forums Read</a> </li> </ul> </li> <ul class="popupbody popuphover"> <li><a href="showgroups.php" rel="nofollow"> Fellows & Board members </a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> If you need more help, you really need to post int he main forums as this isn't a thread for fixing html problems in your navbar template.

Lynne what approach should we take when wanting to create a custom admin panel options page say for a custom product? I know how to crate an new options group but I don't want all the settings to be under one setting group. I want subgroups to not appear in the main settings menu, rather a submenu in the admin panel with custom pages like so:
The first one (General Settings take you to http://xxxxxxxxx.xxxx/admincp/option...p=oftw.options ) but the others I want separate custom pages for the rest of the options. I am assuming that these pages differ some what of the pages mentioned in this thread but I thought I'd ask anyway to get some sense of direction if you had any to offer. I didn't mean to bogard the thread so my apologize ahead of time.  Any help I could get will be very much appreciated. Thanks.

So I can use this method even though it's dated over 6 years ago?

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction here. I am needing to align an Iframe on the same line as a flash object. I created a new page via Lynne's incredible article. Now I'm just needing to set these two objects side by side instead of being one above the other. Here's the code:
Code:
{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">
<head>
<title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle} - {vb:raw pagetitle}</title>
{vb:raw headinclude}
{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}
</head>
<body>
{vb:raw header}
{vb:raw navbar}
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>{vb:raw pagetitle}</h1>
</div>
<h2 class="blockhead">TTD Radio</h2>
<div class="blockbody">
<div class="blockrow">
<P ALIGN="left"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="296" id="utv521869"><param name="flashvars" value="autoplay=false&brand=embed&cid=8959895&v3=1"/><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/><param name="movie" value="http://www.ustream.tv/flash/viewer.swf"/><embed flashvars="autoplay=false&brand=embed&cid=8959895&v3=1" width="480" height="296" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" id="utv521869" name="utv_n_511451" src="http://www.ustream.tv/flash/viewer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" /></object><br /><a href="http://www.ustream.tv/producer" style="padding: 2px 0px 4px; width: 400px; background: #ffffff; display: block; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-size: 10px; text-decoration: underline; text-align: center;" target="_blank">Free desktop streaming application by Ustream</a></P><P ALIGN="right"><iframe width="468" scrolling="no" height="586" frameborder="0" style="border: 0px none transparent;" src="http://www.ustream.tv/socialstream/8959895"></iframe></P>
</div>
</div>
{vb:raw footer}
</body>
