nice tut thanx..

WhaLberg · #**483** 01-04-2007, 10:52 AM

I was gonna open a thread same as that but it's good to see that it's already opened.

Some months ago, I thought how can I do an own page in the vB forum.. I checked the codes of official files.. It took my 2 month to understand that I need eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('templatename') . '");');

Anyway..

Thanks.. I am sure people like your help.

wIrEs · #**484** 01-05-2007, 02:12 PM

Mum · #**485** 01-13-2007, 09:21 PM

i am a complete newbie. How would i make my new page appear in the bar that goes across that says UserCP, FAQ, Members List etc?

ragtek · #**486** 01-13-2007, 09:31 PM

then edit the navbar template and search for memberlist.php then you know where you are

and where you have to put in the new link

Mum · #**487** 01-13-2007, 09:34 PM

Thanks so much for your help!

HPIA · #**491** 01-15-2007, 05:50 PM

I got it to work, thanks!

One question:

About ?do= thing you added at the bottom, I want to make a popup for vbshout. so you have http://url.com/vbshout.php as the main one, but when you type in http://url.com/vbshout.phpdo=popup a new mini window will popup so you can go all around the forum and be able to type in it. How would I be able to do that?

XxBuLLeTz · #**492** 02-10-2007, 12:29 PM

Use http and www headers, I believe.

Warlock40 · #**494** 02-15-2007, 07:14 PM

Baahhh.. All I get is a blank page. The names are in Capitals. I still can't get it to work.

Allan · #**495** 03-05-2007, 10:21 PM

I add this, but don't show, always first page:

Quote:

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:

Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'disclamer')
{
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('disclamer') . '");');
}

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=disclamer to view this template.) Then of course, change TEMPLATE_XXX to your template name, it's that simple!

j_86 · #**496** 03-06-2007, 11:59 AM

Any reason why this would work on an install with the default vB skin and *not* with a customised skin (with the TEST template created in each?) As in, it is blank when selecting the custom style. I confirm again the correct templates are there.

ReQueM · #**497** 03-07-2007, 02:30 AM

thanks!!

i want change $navbits[$parent] = 'deneme'; for test.php?do=deneme page

kpr · #**498** 03-11-2007, 08:22 AM

Hi i am looking to try and use this to set up a directory using vb headers and footer on it is this possible and if so how would i do this? the directory is in the folder called directory and uses smatry templates if that helps.

Littlerocket · #**499** 03-16-2007, 05:31 PM

Great mod. Does anyone have any idea how I'd integrate a PHP script into it though?

I'd like to integrate a php gallery script, but having no joy.

Please don't post entire scripts, use an attachment (and check you have permission as well).

BrettMo · #**500** 03-17-2007, 02:57 PM

I need to include a PHP file output in my template, but

Code:

<?PHP include("filename") ?>

does not work in a template. I see this covered over and over in this thread (I did read it) but I don't understand the answer to the problem. It seems to come down to something about making a variable in the "php include start template." Can someone explain how to do that to me in detail? Thanks.

tytyguy · #**501** 03-21-2007, 08:43 PM

im getting a blank page. Im on vb 3.6.5 here are my codes. i want mydomain.com/sms.php

<body>

$header
$navbar

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%"

<?php

// ######################## SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// ##################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
// change the line below to the actual filename without ".php" extention.

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'sms'); 

// #################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array();

// get special data templates from the datastore

$navbits = array(); 
// change the line below to contain whatever you want to show in the navbar (title of your custom page)
$navbits[$parent] = 'SMS Page';

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

// change the line below to contain the name of the actual main output template used in your script

To answer my own question, I ended up using this mod instead which met my needs to include a php file: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=103076

UltimateOreo! · #**503** 03-27-2007, 01:28 AM

Probably outdated PHP, but thanks a lot Brett, your a lifesaver!

Twilkey · #**504** 04-08-2007, 09:54 PM

I cant get anything to work. On this mod, I get Parse errors on line 2. There inst even anything on line 2. And as for Brett, I am having problems with that thing to.

XxBuLLeTz · #**505** 05-07-2007, 12:41 AM

Is there anyway I can create a custom page not in the root directory?

Digbijoy · #**506** 05-07-2007, 10:04 AM

thanx for the tut.

worked cool and fine for me.

i'll be making heaps of custom pages this way, in the near future also.

lukemax · #**507** 05-14-2007, 05:02 PM

me too, I'm trying to create a page like this 1 directory up from the vbulletin one. When I try, I get a blank page, any ideas?

If you get a blank page, it could be one of several reasons. Usually when i get that, it's because I forgot to put a semicolon at the end of a line somewhere in the script. Also, since you're placing the script 1 directory up from forum directory, make sure that you're calling your required files the correct way like this:

PHP Code:


			
// ################## REQUIRE BACK-END #### 

chdir('D:\webppliance\conf\domains\site\Inetpub\wwwroot\forum'); // path to forum dir

require_once('./global.php');  

require_once('includes/class_bbcode.php');

robinhood1995 · #**509** 05-27-2007, 10:40 AM

Hi,

I got all of it working.

Lets say that the test.php is called and the linked items that are displayed are links to other php pages which are articles that are written in php format.

So the issue that I have is that I can call the test.php page but when I click on a link I loose vbulletin and only have the new php page up.

Question:
How can I keep the other pages from exiting out of vb and keep the header and footer from vb displayed?

Do I have to create a template for every page?

Thanks

AndyPandy · #**510** 05-30-2007, 04:52 PM

How wud I go about putting a user's avatar on a page like this?

Via the User CP under Avatar section on right hand side

AndyPandy · #**512** 05-30-2007, 07:20 PM

That made no sense what so ever, any other suggestions?

jasonmerchant · #**513** 06-18-2007, 02:49 AM

Hello, I have a page located outside of the vbulletin directory and the script is running smoothly. The page attempts to call cron.php, but it is showing up in my log that it can not find it. Where can I set the path to cron.php? Is there an option in the control panel or must it be done in code?

Thanks

OpalCat · #**514** 06-21-2007, 10:06 PM

I have a weird problem... I'm displaying an embedded swf file and the QuickLinks and Search dropdowns are going behind the swf...?

$above = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Then putting $above in your template would show all the PHP.

Thank you, I've been searching for this solution to include a separate index.php file for 3 hrs. This worked like a dream.

Just to make it clear what I did I'll show it for someone who is also looking:

Code snipet at end of custom page php file.

PHP Code:


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

ob_start();

require_once('./bf2_status/index.php');

$above = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'BF2 Status';

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


?>

I put in "require_once('./bf2_status/index.php');" to get the php file. Then in the template where you usually put the html code for the content, I just put $above

Anyone want to link me to a site that is using this mod? I would like to see what you can do with it.

Thanks.

ragtek · #**518** 07-07-2007, 08:56 AM

lol
you can make your own sites
and thats no hack

thats just the basic code you need in your file if you want to make a extrafile with the vb classes

how it looks:
http://www.ragtek.org/forum/stencil.php or http://www.ragtek.org/forum/linkliste.php or http://www.ragtek.org/forum/spende.php

rnmcd · #**519** 07-07-2007, 10:05 PM

So it adds the header, footer and navbar, etc to the page and you can enter the 'body' of the page?

Ragtek, how did you create the new links in your navbar?

Yes, It adds all those. Works great with Ultimate Side Bars

rnmcd · #**521** 07-08-2007, 12:34 AM

What a coincidence. That is the only other hack/modification I am considering doing at this time!
