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 have no idea since I can't see exactly what you did for the two plugins. Like I said before, if you need further help you should post in the correct forum - this thread isn't really about the Who's Online locations.

Ok, this is excellent info, I've tried to read most of this thread but I'm sure i have missed this somewhere. I am trying to create a page within a directory within my forum directory (forum is at /var/www/html/forum, directory is at /var/www/html/forum/directory). I added the
Code:
chdir('/var/www/html/forum/');
and my page is showing up, mostly. The problem I am having is my header, navbar, or footer are not showing up on my page??? Do I need to change a path in my Template, or??? If I create a test page in my forum directory everything works fine, so I'm sure I'm just missing something simple. Any help would be appreciated. ...and sorry if this has already been answered

Thanks

I've already got them. Here is my template:

Code:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header

$navbar



$footer
</body>
</html>
Like i said, if I put my page in the directory with my forum, it works fine, however if it's one directory deeper, forum/directory/, then my header, navbar, and footer don't show.

It's already there. Here is my php file (I've named it index.php and my template is named GrandTech)

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(
    'GrandTech',
);

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

);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
chdir('/var/www/html/forum/');
require_once('./global.php');

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

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Grand Tech';

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

?>

Try to call it somethingelse.php and put it in the forum directory and comment out the chdir and see if it works. If it does, then the problem because of the changed directory.

I am fully aware it's because of the changed directory, I'm trying to figure out how to rectify that

Get rid of the ending slash:
PHP Code:
chdir('/var/www/html/forum');

Got rid of the trailing slash but still no cigar. (I had actually tried this previously as well)

OK, I figured out a workaround, however I don't like the workaround. It's trying to add the additional directory to the filepath of the images. So instead of being forum/images/styles/mystyle/misc/header.png for the header, it's looking at forum/directory/images/styles/mystyle/misc/header.png. My workaround is to copy my forum/images directory into the forum/directory/ directory (I know, that's not confusing right ).

Is there a way to include that images directory some how?

Maybe try putting the full path to your images in the stylvars rather then the relative path. vB files are usually not in a subdirectory, so ordinarily the relative path would do.

That makes sense...but where are the stylevars? Is that in the style manager in the Admin Cp, under "All Style Options"? I tired changing all the relative paths to the absolute paths and it quit working for the whole forum

Are you putting the literal URL for the paths or the directory path? You would only put the URL complete with the http://

it would be easier to create a symlink
Code:
cd directory
ln -s /home/whatever/www/forum/images

Hello everyone,

I'm a novice PHP and MySQL but have some understanding of how programming languages are supposed to work so based on about 3 days worth of effort, I have built a table in MySQL called 'sales'. This table contains sales data on cars. Now, I'm trying to display this tabular data and picture on a vBulletin powered page as a table but to no avail... I'm getting memory errors... It goes without saying that I copied most of this code from others on this website so have a very limited understanding of many of the concepts. Following is the memory error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 129237044 bytes) in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/ref.php(64) : eval()'d code on line 18

So, here's my PHP code:

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'ref'); // change this depending on your filename

// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array();

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array();

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array(
'REF',
'REFBODY'
);

$actiontemplates = array();

require_once('./global.php');

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == 0)
{
$show['permission_error'] = 1;
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');
}
elseif (isset($_REQUEST['do']))
// Being passed from a web page
$ref_req = $_GET['mdl'] ;

include("dbinfo.php");

mysql_connect(localhost,$user,$pass);
@mysql_select_db($db) or die( "Unable to select database");


$showlistbits = '';
$altclass = 'alt1';

$query="SELECT * FROM sales WHERE model LIKE '%$ref_req%' ";
$result=mysql_query($query);
$omega = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$num=mysql_numrows($result);
mysql_close();

$i=0;
while ($i < $num)
{
$altclass = ($altclass=='alt1') ? 'alt2' : alt1;
eval('$showlistbits .= "' .fetch_template('REFBODY') . '";');
}

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = "Sales Table";
$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '");');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('REF') . '");');

?>

Here's the REF template:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
$headinclude
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - $pagetitle</title>
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat" align="center" colspan="6">Sales Table</td>
</tr>
<tr align="center" bgcolor="#336699">
<th style="width: 81px"><b><font color="#FFFFFF">Venue</font></b></th>
<th style="width: 77px"><b><font color="#FFFFFF">Cylinders</font></b></th>
<th style="width: 77px"><b><font color="#FFFFFF">Color</font></b></th>
<th style="width: 90px"><b><font color="#FFFFFF">Wheels</font></b></th>
<th style="width: 90px"><b><font color="#FFFFFF">Year</font></b></th>
<th style="width: 50px"><b><font color="#FFFFFF">Pic 1</font></b></th>
</tr>
$showlistbits
</table>

$footer
</body>
</html>

Here's the REFBODY template:
<tr>
<td class=$altclass">
$omega[venue]
</td>
<td class=$altclass">
$omega[cyl]
</td>
<td class=$altclass">
$omega[color]
</td>
<td class=$altclass">
$omega[wheel]
</td>
<td class=$altclass">
$omega[year]
</td>
<td class=$altclass">
$omega[pic_1]
</td>
</tr>

Two more things. I have a thumbnail pic and a full-size pic. When the table displays, I want the thumbnail to show but when you click on the thumbnail, I want the full-size pic to display in a new window. BTW, both the thumbnail and the full-size pics are stored on the server directory and not in MySQL. Also, I've noticed some people using conventions like $DB->... These conventions don't work on my server, however, I have verified that PEAR is installed on the server. Any advice in this area will also be greatly appreciated.

BTW, I posted the same information in the regular discussion forum but haven't received any feedback yet....

Thanks in advance for your help.

Well... the table display does work but I had to tweak the two templates. The only big issue for me now is that page navigation doesn't function and/or display on the vBulletin powered page I've been working on it all day without *any* success....

amcd,

Your forum is cool and has the navigation setup for custom pages. Would it be possible for you to share your code on how to setup navigation for custom pages? I would really really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Shoolace

Never mind... Figured it out again.

Did you try just searching for the first line without any spaces before or after in the Find options?

I just looked an there is no bugs.php in 3.8 (not sure about 3.7). This method, using plugins, may work out better for you:

Create two plugins using the following hooks. Replace mypage and similar with your information.

hook online_location_process:
Code:

PHP Code:
switch ($filename)
{
    case 
'mypage.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.


hook online_location_unknown
Code:

PHP Code:
switch ($userinfo['activity'])
{
    case 
'mypage':
        
$userinfo['where'] = '<a href="mypage.php?'.$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.

can someone help me out here?

I don't seem to understand what to do... I want the page to appear on stylepreview.php, and the other codes be on stylepreview-codes.php.

I really don't understand what to edit though... Could someone help me?

Need a little more info on what your trying to accomplish. Have you successfully created a test page yet? You should really do that first to make sure you understand how to create the pages before you try to do any customization.

Can someone help me please?I did all the things: create test.php file,paste codes,create template,and when I navigate to test.php,the browser thows me a total blank page.It seems some setting is preventing the custom page using vbb resources.

--------------- Added [DATE]1231687664[/DATE] at [TIME]1231687664[/TIME] ---------------

ok now I get the point:the script hangs on "eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEST') . '");'); ",when I replace it with other (like "echo xxyy;"),the output is ok. any idea?

--------------- Added [DATE]1231688376[/DATE] at [TIME]1231688376[/TIME] ---------------

I test "eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEST') . '");'); " in index.php, it works... So it seems I cant use custom php file with vbb system. how can I solve this?

It sound like you possibly have not match the upper or lower case with the text file or not created the style template correctly. Check all the test names.

You may want to make a thread in the Programming Discussions group and post your php code and template code and then we can help you figure out what is wrong.

Ah, I was having the same problem. The solution for me was to make sure the template name was lower case. I had it as upper case, which didn't work!

The template name is case sensitive, so if you don't use caps for the template name in the PHP file and don't use it for the name of the actual template, or vice-versa, then the template won't be called.

I am sure this is simple but what am I missing here??

Code:
Warning: require_once(./global.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/svtcobra/public_html/test.php on line 32

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/svtcobra/public_html/test.php on line 32

Have you created the file in an other folder?

If yes, you have to make this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ir#post1692069

I created a php file called test.php with coding above - Added a template called TEST with coding above.

But I am getting an error message. Is there something else I need to be doing?

It says no such file or directory for global.php. Is global in the same folder that test is in?
