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!

I created a index.php file for our IRC chat client. I built a vbulletin header and footer wraper for it and it works like a champ. However, my chat client is outside the vB forum directory and the navbar links contain the wrong URL.

For the purposes of this example, my forums directory is in: http://www.mydomain.com/forums

My chat directory is in: http://www.mydomain.com/chat

I'll eventually have several other features that will be a subdirectory off of the http://www.mydomain.com/ website (i.e., chat, photos, files, journal, etc...)

Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix this. Here is the code in my index.php file:

PHP Code:
<?php 

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

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

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

                ); 

        // ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################ 
        chdir('/home/www/mydoman.com/forums');
        require_once('./global.php'); 

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

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

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

?>
Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks

Can you not move your IRC into your forums folder, things would be much easier for you then

I'm trying to keep my vb directory as clean as possible. I have to imagine there is some way to do this without throwing everything into the top directory of the forums.

Gary,

On second thought, I don't have a problem with keeping chat.php in my forum directory and accessing the chat system via http://www.mydomain.com/forum/chat

However, I would like to store the jar files, images, and support files outside of the forum directory. Even a subdirectory under forums (like chat) would work for me.

After calling global.php (and before the main output)
PHP Code:
if (!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6) AND !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 8) AND !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 13))
{
    print_no_permission();
} 
Replace "$bbuserinfo" with "$vbulletin->userinfo" if you are using 3.5

PLEASE could someone help me with this?

I have made a vBulletin powered page with bio information about my team members and have managed to get everything perfect in FF, but I have one little problem in IE and don't know how to fix it. The time stat is over to the far right instead of at the bottom above the nav bar. I'm sure it's something very tiny, but I just don't know what it is...can anyone help me?

http://www.digiscrapdivas.com/forums/AAM_suzy.php

That's the page. If you have any other suggestions on how to make it look better, feel free to let me know, but I'm happy with it other than the little problem I described.

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this, but there are so many help forums out there that I didn't know where to start.

Thanks so much!!

Try cleaning up your HTML a bit in your template, just as an example I noticed you opened a new <tr> without closing the last one, things like that will break the page, just keep in mind that IE and FFX render things differently, so it may appear fine on one and not the other...

Also, best place for that kind of thing would be the PHP / MySQL / JS / (X)HTML forum.

Just to slightly improve on this for people who want to also add a link on there "Who's Online" page that links to the test page when clicked. You can also use this as a replacment for the above bottom code.

PHP Code:
case 'test': 
            $userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Test Page';
            $userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"test.php\">Test</a>";
            break;

I am currently trying to integrate a paypal store that I had purchased into my website. I used the template in the thread and couldn't get it to work the store actually uses a few files that it calls and uses. I tried adding the main page which calls all the files to the template file and use the ob_start(); thing such as you pointed out but still am unable to get it to bring up my page. Any insight and help and kicks in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Oh and also my paypal store uses a mysql backend. Thanks

ok sweet looks like I got it to work........somewhat I get the page to display like my store front however when I click on one of my products instead of reloading the page like it should with just the product and all the details it just reloads my whole front page again. This is driving me nuts I'm gonna keep trying but if anyone has any ideas please let me know. Oh and it uses this at the end of the page do=buy&pid=6 within the actual file it does a post within its self thanks guys I NEED HELP!

Replace "$bbuserinfo" with "$vbulletin->userinfo" if you are using 3.5
IMO, an array would be better.

vB 3.0.x:
PHP Code:
if (!in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(6,8,13))) print_no_permission(); 
vB 3.5.x:
PHP Code:
if (!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(6,8,13))) print_no_permission();
