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!

Has anyone successfully setup this hack so it works in a different folder? Such has public_html\foldername?

I made a few posts about this awhile back (p18) and none of the suggestions help.

It's working fine for me with 3.0.3. I have a few directories set up outside vb.

PHP Code:
if ($bbuserinfo[posts] >= 500)
{ 
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('template_name') . '");');
}
else 
{
    print_no_permission();
} 
This should work.
For username, it is just $bbuserinfo[username]. $bbuserinfo[fieldname] displays the field value of the member browsing the page. (so you can use tons of others as well).

Is it possible to create my pages in Dreamweaver, and put this vbulletin code around it so I get the header and footer + verfication thing working.??

I want to create a web site onto my Vbulletin forum. I dont want to be copying and pasting HTML into the vbulletin template system everytime I need to update the pages.

Anyone know how to modify the templates so that they work with this hack? Namely, the breadcumb and footer.

I am running into a problem right now because my forum is installed on /forums/ but I want to have these pages located in / instead. Since vB doesn't output full path, my URL for those two templates are http://domain.com/page.php, which gives noting but fugly 404's. I've tried <if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'lega'">forum/</if> but that doesn't work at all as nothing comes up! Is there any thing that I'm missing on? Does anyone know how to fix it?

As far as the (footer) links using the right path. It's been discussed plenty in this thread. A few posts up in post 271 nad again here in post 125.

To solve the navbar issues, I created a new navbar for the non-vb pages and hardcoded the breadcrumb links.

Hi,

Could anyone email (or post) some code to display the current active users on the forum on a NON-VB page? Such as:

There are current xx users online
- x registered
- x guests

..etc? I don't think it'd be too hard but obviously it's too hard for me!

Thanks a lot if anyone can help,

Matt
