user permissions system as well

how would you go about using that?

also, would it be hard to pass the members username/id into this page? (sorry if thats an easy question)

SVTBlackLight01 · #3 03-04-2004, 10:23 PM

This is great! I assume the template standard condtionals will work here?

What's the best way to use this on a non-vb page?

dirtymerc · #4 03-04-2004, 10:27 PM

Installed, works marvelously! Thank YOU SO MUCH!

TheAnt · #5 03-04-2004, 11:14 PM

SVT. I believe that as long as global is called via the files, the conditionals will work.

I'd suggest to copy the non-vB page content and copy into a template

You don't really have to worry about those, they are already in action

Try it yourself - install this hack and you'll see the user/pass login part at the top

Also if guests are not allowed to view your forums, then they can't view these new pages you create, etc.

Wow Gary, great thing considering this is my tutorial :P

What I'm saying is how can you make test.php (in this case) work outside the vBulletin directory?

Wow thanks for following me around and saying these types of things as you please

Anyways, what do you mean Zachery? That I copied your tutorial..? I never even knew you released one (to add to that, I never even seen you around here before

)

For 'tutorials' such as generic as this one, I don't think that there is really any proprietorship for anyone since it can be displayed in many forms; I haven't seen yours but I bet that mine is at least noticeably different from yours.

Then be original. 90% of the hacks you have released for vB3 have been someone else's. I mean, look at your sig. You're working on vBWar for vB3? Have you even checked with Dark_Wizard to see if he minds?

Actually, for your information, I am working with Dark_Wizard on vBWar v3. We are in a partnership for this. Have you even taken a look at the vBWar site yet? ( http://vbwar.dpclan.us/forums/showgroups.php? )

Boofo · #14 03-05-2004, 01:42 AM

Ok, 89%, then. Maybe you ought to put Helping with vBWar then, It is his hack.

Jagang · #15 03-05-2004, 01:47 AM

oooh he got you on that one Boofo.

Well I am working on vBWar for vB3, we are practically re-building it from the ground up. Him and I are the developers of vBWar for vB3, and yes he knows that I know that he has put more time into it than I have, but mainly because I joined him only after he already had many of the things working, if not completely 100%. Anyways, this would be between me and him, and truly, it doesn't really matter what it says in my signature in my opinion, it's the final product that counts

Boofo · #17 03-05-2004, 02:02 AM

Not even close. He still couldn't do an original hack if he had to. He has to partner with someone who has a hack that IS original. You figure out the math.

Gio Takahashi · #18 03-05-2004, 02:12 AM

Come on guys, regardless that this is original or not, he still took the time to come up with this, and you gotta give him credit for that. this guy put in everything in a test page including headers and such, I found that very helpful.

SVTBlackLight01 · #19 03-05-2004, 02:17 AM

So is this a hack or just a debate over who is stealing what from who? Either way, it's a vb.org staff issue, so if there is a problem click here.

I was looking for something like this and if there was already a tutorial, then I haven't seen it.

^ amen.. too many hacks/threads/hackers have been spoiled over pointless public accusations. if there's a problem, report it to the staff and leave it at that

Gary W: thx for answering my question =)

OK. To answer my own question, on line 32, I replaced

Code:

require_once('./global.php');

with this

Code:

chdir('/home/site/public_html/testvb/');
require('./global.php');

surfhog · #24 03-05-2004, 04:53 PM

Sorry newbie here, can some kind sole please explain what this is suppose to do.

I have created the test.php and called it and yes looks nice

dpakman91 · #27 03-05-2004, 08:04 PM

alright, hopefully someone can help me with this:

i have some large files i want to make available to certain usergroups, but not other. the files are way too large to upload as "attachments" with vb so i would have to upload them via ftp and then just post a link in a thread...of course this means the only way to prevent people from downloading it is to prevent them from seeing the thread at all, which is not my intention.

with this new way of making a vb page, is there any way to do what i am trying to do?

any help would be great.

Try something like:

PHP Code:


			
<?php



require_once('./global.php');



if ($_REQUEST[filename])

{

    if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6)

    {

        header("Location: $_REQUEST[filename]");

    }

}



?>

Be sure to change the path to the global.php and the usergroupid as well (currently it's 6 for admins only).

Also, save this code in a file such as download.php and then you can use the file by linking to it like http://www.example.com/forum/downloa...=something.php which will download www.examlpe.com/forum/files/something.php if the user is an administrator.

Ryan Ashbrook · #29 03-05-2004, 10:55 PM

Nice job although I think personally this would be a template mod rather than a hack, since no vBulletin files were modified.

Still good job though.

The Watcher · #30 03-05-2004, 11:44 PM

This looks promising gary -> a few questions !!!

1) How can I use this outside my forums directory? Do i just use this?

PHP Code:


			
chdir('/home/site/public_html/forums/');

require('./global.php');

2) How can I limit access to this page to only users in the usergroups 7, 8 and 9 ?

3) I have a php links script which I would like integrated into my forums in terms of the way it looks and the way only certain usergroups can access it. Can i use your hack to do this? If so, how I would I make a php page appear in the content area instead of the TEST template ???

Thanks again

1) correct
2) replace $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6 with $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 7 or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 8 or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 9
3) Replace eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEST') . '");'); with your PHP stuff.

I just want to make a correctiion to your code:
You use if($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]. On vb3, there is a new is_member_of function, that will search your primary and secondary groups for that user. Here is how the code works with it.

PHP Code:


			
<?php



require_once('./global.php');



if ($_REQUEST[filename])

{

    if (is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6) OR is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5) OR is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 7));

    {

        header("Location: $_REQUEST[filename]");

    }

}



?>

that makes it so usergroup 6 5 and 7 can download that file.

Ah okay thanks I never knew about that function

Davey-UK · #34 03-07-2004, 01:55 PM

I like the idea of this, but looking around the Mod request pages, alot of people are looking for the last posts etc also to be displayed on a non vb page. I remember using something called API over at invision which was great. All you did was put includes in the page where you wanted specific things that were pulled from your board via templates which you could modify. Anyone know if something like this is going to be made? Gary W?

attroll · #35 03-08-2004, 02:52 AM

I have been using this mod since VB 2. I see some changes. I don't care who wrote it. But I have two request.

1. I would like the new navbar that Beta 3 uses. Below the header in each page that I create.

2. I would like to see an icon or something on each page for a printable version.

That works, but I discovered that you have to have the full URL for vbulletin_global.js and vbulletin_menu.js in the headinclude template. Otherwise the drop-down menus in the navbar will not work outside of the forum directory.

Osterling · #37 03-08-2004, 08:56 AM

i hope some one answers my question here..

on the second part you say to make a template.. now what should i save the extention of my template..

Templates don't have extensions

Osterling · #39 03-08-2004, 11:09 AM

so if i create it in notepad and save it as test that will work?
