I?m only happy when it rains I?m only happy when it?s complicated And though I know you can?t appreciate it I?m only happy when it rains You know I love it when the news is bad Why it feels so good to feel so sad I?m only happy when it rains

I was going to spend some time researching this, so I figured I could help some people save time by writing it down.

This is not a full tutorial, more of a kick-off, and its aimed at developers.

How to add a link to the AdminCP left side navigation:

Please refer to KirbyDE's [How to] Add entries to AdminCP Navigation Menu (in 3.5) thread.

Basic AdminCP page code:

PHP Code:


			
<?php
// ######################## SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
@set_time_limit(0);
 
// #################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
$phrasegroups = array('style');
$specialtemplates = array('products');
 
// ########################## REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/adminfunctions_template.php');
 
print_cp_header();
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
print_cp_footer();
?>

This is the basic code. Its already password protected, so if you create a myscript.php with that code and upload to the "admincp" folder, you can call it from a browser and it will ask for the admin password.

You can use "ignore_user_abort(true);" as described in this post.

You can use can_administer() to check for admin permissions, 'canadminstyles' in this case:

PHP Code:


			
 // ######################## CHECK ADMIN PERMISSIONS #######################
if (!can_administer('canadminstyles'))
{
    print_cp_no_permission();
}

(gonna add the permissions list here)

(to-do: describe print_cp_header() optional parameters title, onload, headinsert, marginwidth and bodyattributes defined in adminfunctions.php)

You can put anything you like inside the html page. vBulletin has a good number of standard functions that builds the html code for you. These functions can be found in "admincp/adminfunctions.php" (thanks Zero Tolerance for pointing it out). Im going to describe them in this how-to as time lets me.

Creating a message box with a "go back" link: example image

PHP Code:


			
print_cp_message('This is a control panel message box.');

Creating a redirection message: example image

In this example the page will be redirected to Google in 10 seconds.

PHP Code:


			
print_cp_message('This is a control panel message box.', 'http://google.com', 
10);

Creating a table: example

The standard table has 2 columns.

PHP Code:


			
print_table_start();
 print_table_header("Table Title");
 
 echo '<tr><td class="alt1" colspan="2">table content</td></tr>';
 
 print_table_footer(2, '', '', 0);

An empty "print_table_footer" adds a "</form>" after closing the table.

Function "print_table_footer" parameters (from adminfunctions.php)

Quote:

Prints a closing table tag and closes the form tag if it is open

* colspan integer Column span of the optional table row to be printed
* rowhtml string If specified, creates an additional table row with this code as its contents
* tooltip string Tooltip for optional table row
* echoform boolean Whether or not to close the <form> tag

function print_table_footer( colspan, rowhtml, tooltip, echoform )

Creating a form:

vBulletin has standard functions to build forms. You call "print_form_header()", which opens the form and table tags, call a few functions to build the form inputs, and then close the form with a submit button row.

An empty form example

PHP Code:


			
print_form_header('myscript');
print_table_header('Empty Form');

# table rows

print_submit_row("Submit!");

Function "print_form_header" parameters (from adminfunctions.php)

Quote:

Prints the standard form header, setting target script and action to perform

* phpscript string PHP script to which the form will submit (ommit file suffix)
* do string 'do' action for target script
* uploadform boolean Whether or not to include an encoding type for the form (for file uploads)
* addtable boolean Whether or not to add a <table> to give the form structure
* name string Name for the form - <form name="$name" ... >
* width string Width for the <table> - default = '90%'
* target string Value for 'target' attribute of form
* echobr boolean Whether or not to place a <br /> before the opening form tag
* method string Form method (GET / POST)

function print_form_header( phpscript, do, uploadform, addtable, name, width, target, echobr, method )

Input functions for a table:

Here I'll use common examples, but each function has a set of parameters that should be read in "admincp/adminfunctions.php" if you are going to use them.

Text input example

PHP Code:


			
print_input_row('Type your name', 'inputname');

Text area example

PHP Code:


			
print_textarea_row('This is a textarea row', 'inputname');

Yes / No radios example

PHP Code:


			
print_yes_no_row('Should I finish this how-to', 'radioname');

Yes / No / other radios example

PHP Code:


			
print_yes_no_other_row('What you think', 'inputname', 'maybe');

"Yes" radio example

PHP Code:


			
print_yes_row('Want it', 'inputname', 'nah', 0);

Multiple radios example

PHP Code:


			
print_radio_row('This is a radio row', 'inputname', array( 'ya' => 'ya', 
'nah' => 'nah' ));

Select example

PHP Code:


			
print_select_row('This is a select row', 'inputname', array(
 'value1' => 'option1', 'value2' => 'option2'));

Single checkbox example

PHP Code:


			
print_checkbox_row('This is a checkbox row', 'inputname');

Password example

PHP Code:


			
print_password_row('This is a password row', 'inputname');

Date example

PHP Code:


			
print_time_row('Date');

Other functions to use inside tables:

Description row example

PHP Code:


			
print_description_row('This is a description row', 0, 2, 'thead');

Two cell row example

PHP Code:


			
print_label_row('Left cell content', 'Right cell content');

Horizontal rule row example

PHP Code:


			
print_hr_row();

Get next alternating row class (alt1/alt2)

PHP Code:


			
fetch_row_bgclass();

Submit / Reset buttons row:

This closes the form and table tags, so you don't have to use "print_table_footer" with it.

Submit and reset buttons example

PHP Code:


			
print_submit_row("Submit!");

Submit only

PHP Code:


			
print_submit_row("Submit!", 0);

seems I underestimated the ammount of work. should I bother finishing this? gotta work on this more later anyway.

trying to keep the second post for myself... nope automerges

not sure the best formatting... playing around...

Is there a function to show a row of 1 or more radio buttons, or do I need to control that manually?
