Unknown Location · **Released**: 02-01-2008

Description:

This modification will let you define a name for your external files replacing the Unknown Location message, usually in Who's Online & Members Profile pages.

Tested With:

vBulletin 3.6.8
vBulletin 3.7.0 Beta 4

Changes:

[v1.0.2] fix a minor bug and support for multiple queries.
[v1.0.1] added a 3rd optional parameter to identify the page with a query string.
[v1.0.0] first release.

Installation & Upgrade Instructions:

Upload the product & configure the settings for the product Unknown Location.

Notes:

The location of your files are relative to you web root.
With multiple queries, using the standalone file simultaneously, you must ensure that the standalone file comes first:

/file.php:My File
/file.php?do=hello:My Hello:do=hello
/file.php?do=hello&do=goodbye:My Goodbye:do=goodbye

The change is made in the "online_location_unknown" hook. If your page doesn't call this hook, nothing will be changed. To know wich hooks are called, run your board with debug mode on.

How to Use:

File Name:Page Name:Optional Parameter for Query String

/portal.php:Portal
/forum/misc.php:Misc Page
/forum/misc.php?do=hello:Hello:do=hello (using 3rd parameter for misc.php?do=hello)
/forum/misc.php?do=thanks&do=something:Thanks:do=thanks (using 3rd parameter for misc.php?do=thanks)

Please Mark as Installed!

Where can I get the stats mod you are using to test myself?

No stats mod, this is a custom page made by me. But you can test with this example:

/irc_stats/index.php

PHP Code:


			
<?php

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

// ##################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'irc_stats');

// #################### 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(
        'irc_stats',
);

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

// ########################## REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
//require_once('./global.php'); // only if use in same board folder

define('patch_crazy', (($getcwd = getcwd()) ? $getcwd : '.'));

chdir("/home/change/to/your/board/patch");
require_once('./global.php');
chdir(patch_crazy);

global $vbulletin;

// #################### HARD CODE JAVASCRIPT PATHS ########################
$headinclude = str_replace('clientscript', $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/clientscript', $headinclude);

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

$irc_stats = 'just one test to unkown location mod';

$navbits = array(); 
$navbits[$parent] = 'IRC STATS';
$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('irc_stats') . '");');

?>

*Edit your board patch in code.

template 'irc_stats'

HTML Code:

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

$irc_stats

$footer

</body>
</html>

Hi,

I've tested your page and the problem is since (somehow) it gets the default board name, and this mod is executed inside the online_location_unknown, this hook is never called.

This is not a problem of this modification. The problem might be with the path's of your file:

Code:

define('patch_crazy', (($getcwd = getcwd()) ? $getcwd : '.'));

chdir("/home/myname/public_html/testvb");
require_once('./global.php');
chdir(patch_crazy);

I've tested you file in the same directory as the default vB pages removing all above stuff and just using:

Code:

require_once('./global.php');

and it works!

i have two external files similar to your's in the same place as vB files and these are working.

Yeah, I know, but I need to place this file in main domain.

If not is possible, ok no problem.

Thank you, very useful mod.

@testebr: You're Welcome!

testebr · #26 02-13-2008, 11:08 AM

Hello again nfn,

My problem was solved

The solution is simple.

First I created this new plugin at hook online_location_preprocess:

PHP Code:


			
if ($loc == '/irc_stats/')
{
    $filename = 'irc_stats.php';
}

Now, the hook online_location_unknown will be called with success because the $filename irc_stats.php is not in default list of filenames like you can see in file includes/functions_online.php.

And in options of your plugin I used this entry:

Code:

/irc_stats/:title

Maybe you can add some solution in your plugin like my idea.

Bye

When I use this:

/forums/info.php:Site Map:do=sitemap

It shows the link like it should but when you click on the link, it only clicks to /forums/info.php without the do=sitemap.

Veer · #28 02-23-2008, 07:59 PM

/index.php?act=Arcade&do=newscore:Saving New Score

doesn't work.

Hopefully, we'll get an answer soon to this.

Ok, I fixed this now so it will work with the second variable (example: info.php?do=sitemap).

In the XML file:

Find:

Code:

$userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase[ul_viewing]. ' <a href="' .$ul_file[0]. '" title="' .$ul_file[1]. '">' .$ul_file[1]. '</a>';

REPLACE it with:

Code:

$userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase[ul_viewing]. ' <a href="' .$ul_file[0].'?'.$ul_file[2]. '" title="' .$ul_file[1]. '">' .$ul_file[1]. '</a>';

The fix was there, he just forgot to add it variable to the link line.

Hi,

The fix you provide will do it ONLY if you have one query.
I just updated the modification with a minor fix and support for multiple queries.

Note that now you will need to place the full page (file & query) in the first parameter as explained in the first post.
