Allen,

I am having the same exact problem with my file. Could you please guide me on how to insert my HTML page into it?

Allen Mead · #35 10-14-2004, 01:41 AM

Yep no problem blue chi.

This is what has been done with mine:

create your html pages as normal. Then create a template with vbulletin here:

admincp/styles & Templates/Style Manager/Add New Template

call it what you want, mine is html_poloshirts. Copy all the html code into this template.

eg:

PHP Code:


			
<!-- saved from url=(0022)http://internet.e-mail -->

<!-- saved from url=(0022)http://internet.e-mail -->

<br><table border="0">

  <tr>

    <td colspan="3"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b><i><img src="Merchandise/Poloshirts/dealer_stripes.gif" width="32" height="18"><font size="5">Astra-mk2.com</font></i><font size="5">

      Merchandise</font></b></font></td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

    <td colspan="3" height="24">&nbsp;</td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

    <td colspan="3" height="66">

      <p align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">We would

        like you to bare in mind that we are not out to make large profits on

        the goods that are forsale. As <i>Astra-mk2.com</i> is <b>not</b> a company

        and is run in Steve's and Allen's spare time, all profits get put back

    </td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

    <td colspan="3" height="35" valign="bottom">

      <div align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">The

  <tr>

    <td colspan="3">&nbsp;</td>

  <tr>

    <td width="54%" height="81" valign="top">

      <div align="left"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">Polo

        Shirts - Black with the website logo embroidered on the front left breast

  <tr>

    <td width="54%">&nbsp;</td>

    <td width="3%">&nbsp;</td>

    <td width="43%">&nbsp;</td>

  </tr>

</table>

Create the php file that will reference this new template you created, eg:

untitled.php

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('html_poloshirts') . '";'); 



$navbits = array(); 

$navbits[$parent] = 'Meganman'; 



$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits); 

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

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

Don't forget you will need to change your forum root folder if different to mine and obviously the title page.

You can put this file wherever you want really, doesn't make any difference. Oh, don't forget to upload any images referenced in the new template created. Once done, just replicate for the various pages you want.

Thanks so much allen, I managed to get the file show my HTML content. But I was trying to use the PHP include() function, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas of how to fix this?

blue_chi · #37 10-14-2004, 11:38 PM

OK, I just realised that PHP is not allowed in templates, that's a whole differrent issue then. :S

I've stripped my version of this code to:

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 = "Talk History Test";
$HTML = ""; // PIECED TOGETHER IN SCRIPT

eval('$HTML = "' . $bbuserinfo[username] . '";');
eval('print_output("' . $bbuserinfo[username]. '");');
?>

This is because I only want to get the username from the forum to display on an independent web page. However, it keeps on creating a new HTML page with the user's name. So, I'd like to be able to convert it into a function (called get_form_user() ) that I can call at any time to insert the name into text within my webpages.

Any ideas?

If you just want the username you don't need to load the whole vB backend.
Just check the cookies (bbuserid, bbpassword) and query table user
