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(
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:
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've got it working so far but need help with some extras, say i want someone with 500 or more posts to have access to the page how do i retrieve that info? is it possible to retrieve the username as a variable as well? cos i need these info for a form, thanks in advance!
This should work.
For username, it is just $bbuserinfo[username]. $bbuserinfo[fieldname] displays the field value of the member browsing the page. (so you can use tons of others as well).
Is it possible to create my pages in Dreamweaver, and put this vbulletin code around it so I get the header and footer + verfication thing working.??
I want to create a web site onto my Vbulletin forum. I dont want to be copying and pasting HTML into the vbulletin template system everytime I need to update the pages.
