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

Two --- Thank you for writing this all out, I believe I understand what you are asking now. This is really a WOL question. Create the new thread and I will take a look at the WOL code to see if I can be of any assistance.

$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
print_output($templater->render());
?>
it is redirected to the same page the idea is that when you connect (the person is logged) per page, it is automatically redirected to http://www.gfx-art.fr/forum/index.php I have not managed to achieve despite all my tests and research on google. Someone would have an idea of idiot do this? thank you

Lynne,
Thank you for a most excellent tutorial. I have used this to make a product auto-templater xml as well as a generic php file if needed. Time to use this for one of my unfinished projects. Thanks.

Thanks I followed this and It works pretty good, I'm not sure if I missed something. but on the top of the page, I'm getting a login box, and a "if this is your first visit...." message. but if you follow any other nav-link you're logged back in.
if anyone knows what I did wrong. I'd appreciate a heads up.

Hello FBRN_Andrew
if I'm not mistaken, and I understand the question in the template created, you just add this before the tag HTML Code:
</head>
Code:
<style type="text/css">
#navbar_notice_1 {
display: none;
}
</style>

I love the way this mod works, and am building a functionality for my forum with it.
I have played with many variations of what I can do, but I found myself stuck in using my example.php page file to fill a variable array from a list in a custom database, and then get it to printout the list of database contents on the template form. I will admit I havent read every page here (still workin on that lol), but I so far have not been able to figure this one out. If anyone has sucessfully done something like this with this mod, throw me a clue of what I am not able to figure out. Thanks big time.

From the first post.
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.
