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!

If you have more than one style, is it possible to use this on a style other than the predomanant style?

I can get it working hith the main style of my forum but if I create a new style and make a new template in the new style, all I get is a blank page.

Interestingly if I go to /forums/test/php?style=........whatever that style ID# is, I will get the page, HOWEVER, it changes the style of the forum to that ID style......

The templates have to be created in the new style as well. I don't know how or if they can be imported from your default or existing style you initially created the pages in.

I created my php file and called it 'test' and configured according to the hack specs.

I went to ACP>Style & Templates>Style Manager>Clicked drop down on my style>Selected Add New template.

I added the code the hack specified and named the new template custom_test

The page is now accessible with this link http://www.yourdomain.com/misc.php?d...&template=test

as is all my other pages I created the same exact way
http://www.yourdomain.com/misc.php?d...template=test1
http://www.yourdomain.com/misc.php?d...template=test2

and so on and so on.

Again, all the pages work fine. I just need to know how to make them permission based to block unregistered users from being able to browse to them.
Have you tried just wrapping the content of the template in an if conditional? Maybe do the same for links to the page?

I've really tried with all of the replies made on this topic here. I've read every single page here and tried everything, but replies only seem to provide snippets. Do the conditionals go on the php file or the template? I tried everything on the php files. It seems extraordinarily simple for some here, but nothing works for me when I do it. I was entering the conditionals below the global statement. Can you put it in this code, so I can see exactly where it has to go and how it has to be edited? Thanks for your help.

This is one of the pages I got all the info to do the conditional. But everybody seems to have their own ideas and nothing worked for me. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=62164&page=37

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') . '");'); 

?>

This is what I have under the START MAIN SCRIPT part of one of my pages where I only want users in usergroups 5, 6, and 32 to view the page. All others get a No Permission screen:
PHP Code:
if (!isset($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) OR $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == OR !is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,5,6,32))
{
    
print_no_permission();

If you simply want it to block unregistered users, just remove the is_member_of part of the conditional:
PHP Code:
if (!isset($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) OR $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == 0)
{
    
print_no_permission();

Hi Lynne,

Thank you for responding.

After 'literally' going through every single thread and carefully re-reading @ Digital Jedi's responses, I have figured it out. Although my links were working this way:
http://www.mywebsite.com/misc.php?do...te=downloads_1

As DJ said, I had created my templates wrong. I went back and re-config'd my templates as just "downloads_1" and added this right below "Start Main Script"

Code:
if ($show['guest']) 
    { 
        print_no_permission(); 

    }
now I can browse my pages as http://www.mysite.com/downloads_1.php etc. with permissions so that you must register.

Whoooo! Thanks everybody for your expert help and for straightening me out

$out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
fwrite($fp, $out);
while (!feof($fp))
{

} 
fclose($fp);
}

$buffer = strstr($buffer,"\r\n\r\n");

return $buffer;
}

?>

You cannot add php code to a template. You add all the php into the page script (your whatever.php page) and then spit the variables out in the template.

A good start would be to read the article on the first page of this thread (No offense but it seems quite obvious to me that you haven't )

Hi, I cant get this to work.

This is the code I have:

HTML Code:
<?php

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

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'googlesearch.php'); // 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(
    'googlesearch',
);

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array(

);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

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

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Searching google';

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

?>
And I created a new template called "googlesearch".

What am I doing wrong?

Change the eval line for your template:

PHP Code:
eval('print_output("' fetch_template('googlesearch') . '");');

Maybe I've missed the answer to this in the previous 58(!) pages, but how do I get the footer to work in the new page?

The footer is there, but the usual 'whos online' etc info isn't. This would be nice to see.

Cheers in advance.

I am trying to integrate coppermine gallery into vbulletin. Coppermine allows to include a custom header and footer. You can use html or php files for your custom header and footer.

I already tried it, but it does not seem to work. One problem is that the gallery is called from a sub directory (/forumroot/gallery). If I copy the needed vb files to the gallery directory, I get this error:

Quote:
Fatal error: Call to a member function query_first_slave() on a non-object in /gallery/includes/functions.php on line 1310
Would it be possible to solve the problem? If not, are there any other possibilities to include vb' s header and footer into coppermine gallery?

Do not copy the vb files to another folder because very often they call other vb files and won't be able to find them. Do a chdir, as mentioned already, in order to change to the vb forums directory and include them.

Thanks, now I can run the file from within the gallery file without copying vb files to the gallery directory. But I still get the error I posted above, when I try to include the file in coppermine. The file executes fine when I run it stand alone.

OK, I have it working but the page comes up completly white.

I replaced TEST with my style name, and test with my navbar display, and test page with Home.php

My template is called Home

I copied and pasted everything that was said to be coppied into everything but it still comes up white, Any suggestions?

Hi,

With regular forums, the breadcrumbs look like this:

Quote:
Site Name > Category Name > Top Level Forum Name
-Subforum Name
I see you can change

Code:
$navbits[$parent] = 'My custom page';
so that it appears

Quote:
Site Name
- My custom page
How can I do something like this

Quote:
Site Name > My Custom Application
- Custom page in my custom application
Where "My Custom Application" is a link that takes you back to the custom page's main page, just like how when viewing forums the link might take you back to a category or top level forum?

That is, how can I add a "breadcrumb" to that first row? How would I add two, if necessary?

Quote:
Site Name > My Custom Application > Specific Functionality
- Custom page for specific functionality in my application
Thank you!

I figure it out. For anyone interested, you simply add items to the navbits array in the order you want them to appear, specifying the url of any link as the array key and the text to display as the value.

Another question I have, though, is how to pass a meta description tag that is dynamically generated via the php script? Right now it appears to be using the forum's default meta description tag.

Thanks!

Would a custom page still get displayed correctly if the forums are turned off?

I'm thinking of using this method to create a custom 404 error page that would perfectly match our forum's design, but I would need the page to work when the forums are both on & off.

Thanks,
James

As far as I know, vB powered pages will always be blocked out with the Forum Closed message.

Not if you make this:
PHP Code:
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'yourscript)
{
    $vbulletin->options['
bbactive'] = true;
    $vbulletin->options['
banning'] = false;
    $servertoobusy = 0;
    $vbulletin->userinfo['
permissions']['forumpermissions'] |= $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview'];

where do you create the template and where do you put the html code
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>

I don't really understand what the problem is except it revolves around a link you added in the navbar? Perhaps you have it coded wrong. You might want to post what you did.

I'm think your link is incorrect. Try this:
Code:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.xx.eu/forum/Chat.php">Chat</a></td>

Hi,

I have a serious problem.

I made the following chat page; it is called parachat.php and this is the code:

Quote:
<?php

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

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'parachat'); // 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(
'parachat',
);

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array(

);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

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

$nombre = $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = '?Chat!';

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

?>
The "parachat" template has conditionals... it is something like this:

Quote:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$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="alt1">
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 1 AND
$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 2 AND
$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 3 AND $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 4 AND $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 10 AND $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 18 AND $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 19 AND $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 21">

Here it comes a chat applet.

<else />
Here it comes a message for non authorized usergroups.
<br /><br />
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 2">
Here another message, specifically for usergroup 2 which is non-authorized for chat in my forum.
<br /><br />
</if>
</if>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br /><br />
$footer
</body>
</html>
However, one member managed to enter that page, although she is in a non-authorized usergroup (usergroup 21).

Is this a problem with the php page, or with the use of conditionals?

Could anybody help me? Thanky you in advance.

In my case, the page IS working for all users, with only one excepcion: there is ONE user that is entering the page, although she belongs to a usergroup which is not authorized to enter it.

That user is the only exception... the page is working fine for all other users.

Some days ago, this user belonged to another usergroup (a usergroup allowed to enter the page), and, after i moved her to usergroup #21, she continued entering the page.

Perhaps her browser is showing her a cached version?
