Ok ive seen that alot of people have been asking how to create new pages with the vbulletin style on them like i have used on forum.imaedia.com for the link/games etc pages, so ive decided to write this to tell everyone how to do it

Ok i usualy start by creating a basic template in the admin cp that i will use for all the pages that im going to add.

log into your admin cp go to styles and templates then go to the style manager and expand the style that you are currently using on the right of the page you will see a drop down menu, select add new template from it and then you need to name it

for this example im naming mine : "test"

now we need to create a very basic html template to go in this template:

because im doing this quickly i just added any css i wanted to use onto this page instad of using the vbulletin css styles

ok so put the following into your temoplate and change the parts that say page name and page content to suit your needs

Code:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<!-- no cache headers -->
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
<!-- end no cache headers -->
<title><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[x_powered_by_vbulletin]</phrase></title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.top {
	border-top-width: 1px;
	border-right-width: 1px;
	border-bottom-width: 1px;
	border-left-width: 1px;
	border-top-style: solid;
	border-top-color: #000000;
	border-right-color: #000000;
	border-bottom-color: #000000;
	border-left-color: #000000;
}
.all {
	border: 1px solid #000000;
	background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
-->
</style>

$headinclude </head> <body> $header $navbar
<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="all">
  <thead>
    <tr align="center"> 
      <td align="left" valign="top" class="thead">
<div align="left"></div>
        <div align="left">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
            <tr>
              <td class="tcat">**********Test Page**********</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
              <td>********Page Content would go here :)**********</td>
            </tr>
          </table>
          <font size="2"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"></font></font></div></td>
      <if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]"> </if> </tr>
  </thead>
  $forumbits 
  <tbody>
  </tbody>
</table>
$footer 
</body>
</html>
save the template.

The next step is to create the php file that will call the template,

Here is the code i used, to incldue the naviation and header/footer

Code:
<?php
 // ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
 error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
 
 // #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
 define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
 define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'yourscript');
 
 // ################### 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(
 'TEMPLATENAME'
 );
 
 // pre-cache templates used by specific actions
 $actiontemplates = array();
 
 // ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
 require_once('./global.php');
 
 // ### ALL DONE! SPIT OUT THE HTML AND LET'S GET OUTA HERE... ###
 
 eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
 eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEMPLATENAME') . '");');
 
 
 ?>
rite now save that as a .php file, and upload it into your vbulletin root directory

then go to yourforumurl/pagename.php and you got yourself a non vb page with vb template on it

hope that helps post any questions, i prolli missed something or done something totaly wrong but hehe just trying to help :P

Thanks a bunch.
I did EVERYTHING you said to do, but I get this

roster2.php
Code:
$headinclude </head> <body> $header $navbar
<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="all">
<thead>
<tr align="center"> 
<td align="left" valign="top" class="thead">
<div align="left"></div>
<div align="left">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">**********Test Page**********</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>********Page Content would go here **********</td>
</tr>
</table>
<font size="2"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"></font></font></div></td>
<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]"> </if> </tr>
</thead>
$forumbits 
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>
$footer 
</body>
</html>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-
Output in IE:
Code:
$headinclude $header $navbar **********Test Page********** 
********Page Content would go here ********** 
 
$forumbits  $footer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-
The PHP file is located in my /forums/ directory. Is that a problem? I am trying to get a page that I can use HTML on and update about once every week that is linked from my VB Index on VB 3.0.0 RC4. I want all the VB Index stuff surrounding it, but have where normally is news to be a clan roster.

I eventually want to have multipul styles so I don't want to half-*** it.
I attached an image of what i'm trying to do. There might be an easier way. And no, I don't want to have a forum for each page and post the roster in a forum and have VB Index read it. I want to fully HTML whats inside each block (eg. block= roster)

The problem:
roster2.php
Attached Images
File Type: jpg roster.jpg (45.8 KB, 0 views)

Ok, I got it working now. I copied it wrong. I edited it and it worked. Looks great!

Is there an easy way to get all the VB Index stuff on the side of the pages?

Is there a way to store my custom .php page in a non-forum directory?

I don't think so considering all vBulletin data is read within the main directory.

I am getting a white page as well. Not sure what I did wrong. I copyed and pasted everything you typed and changed the TEMPLATE NAME to the correct template I have added. Also I created a php file as well. Do I need to change anything else besides TEMPLATE NAME to make this work. Sorry I am very new at this. But edger to learn it. Thanks, Chain

Well I am still having problems with this wo if anyone could help me out that would be great. I go ahead and tell you the way I uploaded it to my site.

First made the template (rules) in my styles. Also when I did that it placed it under custom templates. I sure that is right but one thing is that it is the only templete that looks tabed out????
Rules Template
Code:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<!-- no cache headers -->
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
<!-- end no cache headers -->
<title><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[x_powered_by_vbulletin]</phrase></title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.top {
	border-top-width: 1px;
	border-right-width: 1px;
	border-bottom-width: 1px;
	border-left-width: 1px;
	border-top-style: solid;
	border-top-color: #000000;
	border-right-color: #000000;
	border-bottom-color: #000000;
	border-left-color: #000000;
}
.all {
	border: 1px solid #000000;
	background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
-->
</style>

$headinclude </head> <body> $header $navbar
<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="all">
  <thead>
    <tr align="center"> 
      <td align="left" valign="top" class="thead">
<div align="left"></div>
        <div align="left">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
            <tr>
              <td class="tcat">**********Test Page**********</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
              <td>********Page Content would go here :)**********</td>
            </tr>
          </table>
          <font size="2"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"></font></font></div></td>
      <if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]"> </if> </tr>
  </thead>
  $forumbits 
  <tbody>
  </tbody>
</table>
$footer 
</body>
</html>
And here is the php file that I made with notepad:
PHP Code:
<?php
 // ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
 error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
 
 // #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
 define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
 define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'yourscript');
 
 // ################### 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(
 'rules'
 );
 
 // pre-cache templates used by specific actions
 $actiontemplates = array();
 
 // ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
 require_once('./global.php');
 
 // ### ALL DONE! SPIT OUT THE HTML AND LET'S GET OUTA HERE... ###
 
 eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
 eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('rules') . '");');
 
 
 ?>
