Create a PHP file with this code. Change the red code appropriately. This will display a page within your forum layout where the page contents are the contents of the template you specify.

<?php

// GO TO FORUM DIR
chdir('/full/path/to/forum/directory');

// STANDARD VBULLETIN STUFF
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'script_name');
require_once('./global.php');

// GENERIC_SHELL VARS
$pagetitle = "Title of Page";
$HTML = ""; // PIECED TOGETHER IN SCRIPT

eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('name of template') . '";');

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('GENERIC_SHELL') . '");');

?>

Jakeman,
This php file is working fine.

But, I wand to display ?control panel?. I mean this
Board "tree" and Welcome, UserName
User CP FAQ Members List Calendar New Posts Search Quick Links Log Out

How I can do this? What I should add to your code?

Thank you.

Hello,

I'm having a little trouble with this. I've created a php file called Untitled.php which can be seen here:

http://www.astra-mk2.com/Untitled.php

contents of the file are as follows:

PHP Code:

<?php

// GO TO FORUM DIR
chdir('./forum');

// STANDARD VBULLETIN STUFF
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'script_name');
require_once('./global.php');

// GENERIC_SHELL VARS
$pagetitle = "Title of Page";
$HTML = ""; // PIECED TOGETHER IN SCRIPT

eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('name of template') . '";');

$navbits = array(); 
$navbits[$parent] = 'Meganman'; 

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

?>

I can work out how to change the title but not how to insert an html page myhtmlpage.html

The code that's above works beautifully, but it's just the linking to an html as the template and everything that it uses is as I want it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry, I'm a bit thick when it comes to this sort of thing.

I think i've nailed it down a bit further.

Do i understand it right that I need a script? How and what? and that I obviously need to create the file. Should this have the php or html extension?

Cheers in advanced

Anyone fancy helping the thick??? :nervous:

php extension

[Allen Mead]

still not getting anywhere no matter what i change here, nothing happens

PHP Code:

eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('name of template') . '";'); 


Lets say I change it to

PHP Code:

eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('./Articles/Articles_Main.php') . '";'); 


still nothing happens, so obviously i need to change something else but what?

I know I'm terrible, I really need things spelt out!

[Allen Mead]

Anyone??

[Allen Mead]

hmmm, I've had me another go at this, still can't get it, I give up

[Allen Mead]

Right, I'm having another pop at this and at the mo, I still can't get it to work this is what I have:

PHP Code:

<?php 

// GO TO FORUM DIR 
chdir('./forum'); 

// STANDARD VBULLETIN STUFF 
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1); 
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'Articles_Main'); 
require_once('./global.php'); 

// GENERIC_SHELL VARS 
$pagetitle = "Title of Page"; 
$HTML = ""; // PIECED TOGETHER IN SCRIPT 

eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('./forum/Articles_Main.php') . '";'); 

$navbits = array(); 
$navbits[$parent] = 'Meganman'; 

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

?>

Can anyone see where I am going wrong?

Cheers
