Extra page driven by forum templates · **Released**: 03-26-2002

This is a really simple hack. This is for adding other pages to your site all driven by the forums templates. This also has instructions for adding it to whos online!

Example:
http://www.yaxay.com/yack/privacy.php?s=

This page is driven via the normal forum templates.
Sshot of admin area for this page:

Sshot of whos online if the person is on the page:

The instructions are for installing a page for a privacy statement. But just replace all instances of privacy, and privacy.php with the page you are creating. Very easy.

Instructions attached. :classic:

w00t corey you did it again ^_^
thx alot biggi help for those privacey statements etc

I was planning on making more then one statement, like a mission statement, privacy policy and piracy policy + index to click through ..

Anyway,
this is the ONE file I use for all those statements!! (+4 templates)

Maybe you get the idea and alter your hack with it for upcomming version

example: http://www.creations.nl/ bottom box > forum statements

which will display a page, with click throughs to the other statements.

Ofcourse, this is very fun to use for any kind of new addition to the web site !!

And so we will

By the way: I can NOT support this, this is more a personal post to cprompt. But feel free to try yourself

Anyway:

Thanks for the idea xiphoid, but for me I use the normal stuff at the bottom in my footer. Privacy, copyright, etc. And in each one I have a small navigation back. =)

Glad everyone likes it so far!

Sure, but maybe there are others who like to put it all in 1 file, and just add a template where needed.

I also use the different options in the bottom menu..

< contact | statements | chat | url >

You ofcourse, can expand this to whatever one would please, just make sure to &action=<whatever> in the a href link.

< contact | privacy statement | mission statement | sponsors | etc >

Where it all can be managed from 1 file, instead of having to make several files with several templates.

Every template holds their own navigation back in the top, just like anything else on a forum, so you can even use $nav bits. and just add your own page to the end of that.

More dynamic, less file, and expandable, by just adding another if statement + template.

I wasn't saying the users might not like it, what I meant was I didn't need it.

Not really. I just like to do it for extra pages like privacy statements, terms of use, etc. vBhome adds a home index like that of vB.org.

the hack works i think, but when i click on to view my privacy statement, it shows up, but up top it doesnt have those navigational links like you do:

like:

site -> privacy statement

it doesnt have that, what did i do wrong???
