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

I do that and i get blank page http://www.dacho.co.il/test.php

You're doing SOMETHING wrong. Can you post the .php and template codes you're using?

Matrixthestar · #**1124** 06-30-2009, 02:58 AM

hi all

I want to make the header and footer

but the content of the page
is from another site

can anyone explain this 2 me
easily
as I'm not professional @ all

nothing4me · #**1125** 06-30-2009, 05:23 PM

Is this up to date with the latest VB? (3.8.3)
Or do I need to do some extra modifications?

--------------- Added [DATE]1246386340[/DATE] at [TIME]1246386340[/TIME] ---------------

In addition, would it be a good idea to put PHP logic into the VBulletin plugin system? Or should I just put them in this new php page?

zeroality · #**1126** 06-30-2009, 11:08 PM

This worked great! Thank you.

Hello
I'm trying to design one custom page while keeping vbulletin header, navbar and footer on it.
I've referred to following topics :
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ight=logicians
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=217075
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=197563

Here is the custom page i wanna have headers and footers on.
http://www.projectsplanet.org/forums/testverify.php
Enter code 1234test to test above page.

When i try to put my code as follows in custom template created in Vbulletin admin CP, i'm getting error :

Quote:

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

$navbar

[MY CODE GOES HERE]

$footer
</body>
</html>

When i try to save above template, i get following error :

Code:

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home2/******/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3729) : eval()'d code on line 16

I guess its because i'm also trying to write php code within template.
Please check attached php file testverify.php
Please tell me how do i put vbulletin header, navbar and footer there.

Following are the contents of attached testverify.php if you do not wish to download it :

You should follow Gary King's article that you linked to. In it, you'll see that you don't do your php page like you have written above at all. Your template will be fine as long as you don't put php in it. Start with the stuff in Gary's article and then add your custom code to it.

pspmodandcfw · #**1129** 07-04-2009, 08:18 PM

Is there any way i can do PHP with this like

Quote:

Header & Navbar

PHP Code Here

Footer

You are supposed to do this:

something.php

Code:

set some variables
require_once('global.php');

PHP code here

output(eval(fetch_template('something')));

and in the template:

Code:

header and navbar

output of the php code

footer

More or less, that is the general idea.

pspmodandcfw · #**1131** 07-06-2009, 03:18 AM

Thank you my good Sir. Ill try that out

Edit - What do you mean output of PHP code, the HTML form?

amcd · #**1132** 07-06-2009, 04:27 AM

Yes, if that is what you want to show. The html (design and fixed data) part of the form can be put directly into the template, and any dynamic data can be displayed through variables set in the php code.

The basic purpose of templating (whether vbulletin or otherwise) is to separate the front end design from the business logic. The template holds just enough code (actually html with conditionals, not programming code) to show whatever needs to be shown. The template is simply 'shown', and that is why you cannot have php code in there.

The vbulletin manual has a section on templates, and reading the default vb templates can be very instructive for newcomers.

--------------- Added [DATE]1246858288[/DATE] at [TIME]1246858288[/TIME] ---------------

This will work:

php:

Code:

$htmlform = "<form>........</form>"

template:

Code:

$header
$navbar
$htmlform
$footer

But that is not how it is intended to be. You are not supposed to write any HTML at all in the PHP. Otherwise the whole purpose of templating is defeated.

pspmodandcfw · #**1133** 07-07-2009, 06:34 AM

Thanks AMCD i finally got it to work.

Davidx3 · #**1134** 07-08-2009, 02:31 PM

Sorry, but this makes no sence at all to me

anyone care to explain it in more detail for me?

Sorry Gary, i just dont find your instructions very clear at all :S

It is explained as well as it can be. The best thing to do is just copy exactly what he did and then analyze it yourself after you get it up and working. If you need further help, the best thing to do is to create your own thread in the main forums and post the exact php file you wrote and the exact template you wrote (both using the php/html tags).

ilrglen · #**1136** 07-12-2009, 05:07 PM

Okay, I accidentally deleted my test file that I finally got working and really can't spend another week reading through all 76 pages of this topic, fun as that was the first time, to find the answer to this simple question. What do I change in this code to make this page viewable by nonmembers?

Quote:

<?php

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

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

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################

// 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');
if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) print_no_permission();

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

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Test Page';

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

?>

If somebody could change the code for me in the above quoted code and highlight the change in a different color that would make my day. Thanks.

cellarius · #**1137** 07-12-2009, 06:40 PM

Remove

Code:

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) print_no_permission();

And please, next time when posting code, use the code tags. They are there for a reason

ilrglen · #**1138** 07-13-2009, 01:26 AM

Sorry, I couldn't figure out those tags. And thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

They're the same as the quote tags..... just php, code, and html

sheep92032 · #**1141** 07-21-2009, 09:06 AM

is there any way to insert html into the template, something like this:

eval('$showhtml = "' .$showhtml . '";'); // with $showhtml containing html

I want to convert one of my scripts but if I can't do this it'll be a huge headache.

Try it and see.

You should be able to do this (don't forget to escape any quotes):

PHP Code:


			
 eval('$showhtml = "<b>This is html</b>";');

sheep92032 · #**1143** 07-21-2009, 03:17 PM

It doesn't work, you just get some apache error. It doesn't like < or >.

Perhaps you need to post the exact code and also post the exact error. I use that sort of eval statement in my plugins and it works fine.

sheep92032 · #**1145** 07-21-2009, 04:44 PM

I tried to regenerate the problem but used your line and it seems to be working now. It was probably just a pebcak error.

Thanks

Edit: I just thought, does vbulletin cache the scripts?

HMBeaty · #**1150** 07-30-2009, 02:09 AM

Did you create a template for your page? I'm guessing not from seeing Default Style. The style name doesn't go there. Thats where you put your name of the template you created. Re-read the instructions

kama_tech · #**1151** 08-04-2009, 05:01 PM

hello friends, I have a question, I am trying to create the next page. I have a page in vBulletin you can just put the forum that you specify.

example:

I have 10 forum

forum 1
forum 2
forum 3
forum 4
ect .....

I want to do is to page 1
show forum 1 and 3

on page 2 show forum 2 and 4

well with other forum pages can divide by page

I already have the example running on a test forum but can not find the code that I need to show the different forums.

Can someone give me a hand with this.

thanks

Could you please help me with this?

Make sure you are using a text editor made for coding, not something like Microsoft Word. It sounds like line breaks or extra text is getting added to your file.

See step 3 here - Display Users Viewing non-vBulletin Pages in "Online Users" (If you have several locations, you can modify those to use a switch statement).

Sorry if this has already been asked but what would I have to change in the php file in order to place the page in another directory?

Lynne · #**1157** 08-13-2009, 08:38 PM

You need to add a line leading to the forum with the vbulletin files like this prior to requiring the global.php file:

PHP Code:


			
chdir('/home/site/forum');

Try changing this:

Code:

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) print_no_permission();

To something more like this:

Code:

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] OR !is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5, 6, 7)) print_no_permission();

That will give an error if the user is not logged in or if the member is not a member of usergroups 5,6, or 7.

Will this then send them to the 'no permission page' or another error page?
