vBcustompage 1.0

vBcustomPage
Version 1.0 | A hack by Velocd :ninja:


Update - 7/27/02 - Bug fix

I accidentally forgot to add the instructions on how to allow the admin to modify the custom page name and content via ACP.

Please refer to the 7-27-02fix.txt for instructions on how to fix it.



What does this hack do?

This integrated vB add-on will allow your users to have their own custom page built on simple HTML. In addition, the admin can specifiy a minimum post count that all users must achieve before they are allowed the creation of a custom page.


Why is it useful?
More creativity and ways for the users to express themselves on your forum. Users who do not match the postcount needed to create custom pages will want to post more in order to get it. Ofcourse this isn't going to happen just because it's written here, but the possibilities are unknown until you try it out.


Features:

• Via the ACP users page, the admin can toggle whether a member is allowed to use custom pages.
• Via the ACP users page, the admin can also modify the users custom page name, and also the content.
• Javascript code filter + offensive language block
• The name of your custom page will show up in the title bar of your custom page (big wow, I know )
• ..more creativity for your users!

WARNINGS:
As with HTML in posts and signatures, the vulnerabilities of allowing your members to create pages using HTML could be risky. Please moderate your member custom pages (view the source) on a daily basis, insuring that no malicious code is hidden away somewhere.


Screenshots?
Screenshots are included in the zip.

Bugs?
None that I know of, but if you find any please let me know!

i get the same exact thing. I have that getinfo_custompage template and i ran the mysql querys.

im useing vb 2.2.6

did you solve that problem?

As mentioned before, it is probably a mistake some of you are making. For some people who have installed this hack they say it works perfectly, while a few people are reporting a blank page being shown up. The instructions are quite lengthy, so just make sure you go carefully through it. I have it installed and it works fine.

I'll go through the instructions again to insure nothing is missing.

Could anybody who is recieving the blank page tell me if it is a complete blank page (pure white), or if the blank page consists only of the $header, and $footer visible elements.

just a blank page, no header, no footer, not even a page TITLE

Strange...I couldn't find anything wrong with the instructions either, so I'm blank on what the problem could be right now.

just a dummy point of view but what happens if you dont remove the space from the first and second color thing?

[Mithan]

Now for the somewhat annoying parts. Find:

$cpnav[7]="#1C5780";


And place below it:

PHP:

$cpnav[8]="#1C5780";

Sorry, bud, but I cant find a any #1c5780 in my members.php file.

This is what my one area looks like:
// draw cp nav bar
$cpnav[1]="{secondaltcolor}";
$cpnav[2]="{secondaltcolor}";
$cpnav[3]="{firstaltcolor}";
$cpnav[4]="{secondaltcolor}";
$cpnav[5]="{secondaltcolor}";
$cpnav[6]="{secondaltcolor}";
$cpnav[7]="{secondaltcolor}";
$cpmenu[9]="class=\"fjsel\" selected";
eval("\$cpnav = \"".gettemplate("usercpnav")."\";");


All mentionings of CPNav are with that secondaltcolor.

So what do I do?
Put $cpnav[8]="#1C5780"; UNDER the $cpnav[7]="{secondaltcolor}"; lines?

Thanks.

[Mithan]

++++, nevermind... I see what you meant lol

[Velocd]

I'll make a reminder to myself to change the instructions and make those hexidecimal values to {secondaltcolor }

See if you type {secondaltcolor } without the space in a post on vB.org, and any vBulletin forum, it will replace it with whatever color is in the replacement thingy.

As for leaving {secondalotcolor } that way, it will just screw the colors up, usually making it a neon green or something, I can't remember. So be sure to remove that space.
