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

I'm having a little trouble. I got the page to work, but now I want it to show something if a user is logged in, and something else if a guest views the page. How could I do this?

Thank you! I had been trying all sorts of conditions but I just kept screwing them up. I would have been up all night trying to figure this out, I had at least 20 tabs open on the subject.

Just add something after you include the global.php file:
Code:
if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, x, y, z))
{
// no permission if you aren't a member of usergroupid x, y, or z
print_no_permission();
}
