How to create your own vBulletin-powered page! (uses vB templates)

[funinthesun]

I want to display thumbnails on my page of all the same size and when they are clicked it opens the image in a new browser (like google image search). How would I go about doing this?

[ang2el]

I am novice in php code just know how .html and use dreamweaver

I could make the test.php file but lost after that I mean where to make teplate and how to link them ...

So, I would be grateful if someone could explain me step by step what, how and where to do

thanks a lot

I tried Iframe code in the template but it didn't display the website that I wanted to display in the costume page created.

Can anyone help me how to display through template

or

how to create a page with just header navbar and footer or say no need to fetch template

thanks

Edit: I fixed it, I was putting the PHP file into the template instead of the HTML stuff.

this method wont work with 3.5.4

[ckandes1]

nice writeup

[heyitsjeremy]

is there another copy of this that would work on 3.5.4 ?

This works fine with vBulletin 3.5.4 I used it on my site at vBSkins.com to create a couple of pages.

Works fine with 3.6.0 as well.

[vBSkins]

It should work with all future versions of vBulletin, all it does is creates a template and you upload one simple .php file, its a great release

I had a problem with the test page coming up blank. Turns out I created the test template as 'Test' rather than 'TEST'. Although my test server is Windows, it appears its still case sensitive. So once that was changed, it all worked perfectly.

Great hack

Can somebody please look over this and tell me why it doesn't work?

edit: Nevermind, It turned out to be a problem with the template, not the php code.

It works great thanks!!!

I created another template(templeate2) with some information in html. Can insert that new template in the template a created first(template1).

template2 in template1.

I have tried but it doesn't work. Nothing is showing up.

Thanks

If im making an affilaite system, would I use:

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(

);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

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

$affiliates = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave("
        SELECT *
        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "affiiates 
        ORDER BY order ASC
    ");


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

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

while ($affiliates = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($affiliates))
{


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

}

?>

Ok please forgive me for the ??? I didn't have coffe today.

If I understand this correctly, for every page you want to create whether its 1 or 20 you make a new php file and an new template????
