but it's not working someone plz tell what i did wrong

You need to name your template "custom_test". Your .php file must be named "test.php" for the template call to work.

Every new template must have the prefix "custom" and an underscore, ie. custom_test

this is the link you should use for every custom page you create. just replace the last word with your custom page name

http://www.yourdomain.com/misc.php?do=page&template=test

That's not how this tutorial works. You'll notice it says to create a template called TEST, not custom_TEST. It's says nothing about adding a prefix. That URL that you posted takes you to misc.php and is very much how the custom pages within vBadvanced work. But how can you possibly get to a file named test.php when your navigating to misc.php? Their two different pages. This tutorial teaches you how to create a page without the do= string at the end.

For example, the very first page I created using this tutorial is here: www.cogonline.net/forums/banners.php

The template name I use is BANNERS. The file is banners.php. Navigating to misc.php misc isn't going to take me anywhere near this page.

Dude, did you miss the part where I said I have over 40 pages created like this? Each page .php page has it's own name and that name matches up with custom_same page name.

test.php matches up with custom_test =

http://www.yourdomain.com/misc.php?do=page&template=test

test1.php matches up with custom_test1=

http://www.yourdomain.com/misc.php?do=page&template=test1

test2.php matches up with custom_test2 =

http://www.yourdomain.com/misc.php?do=page&template=test2

Don't tell me it doesn't work, because this is how this mod works.

And this is an article, not a mod.

How can I put sound files or rss feeds into a page like this?

I didn't say it didn't work. I said that's not how this tutorial works. This tutorial creates individual .php pages with unique names for each one. With your method, the .php pages your creating aren't even being used. Not to mention, the point of the tutorial is to navigate to a page called test.php, not misc.php. You'll notice that nothing your saying is even mentioned in this tutorial.

I can't seem to force users to login to view my page created with this script.

What do I need to do to force guests to login so they can view the page?

Folks

Could someone please confirm that this works with 3.7.2 ?

VMT

[Digital Jedi]

Works fine with with 3.7.1, and the only difference there is some bug/security fixes.

[TheInsaneManiac]

So I don't end up making like 10 pages, is there a way I can do like the misc.php page and be like test.php?do=mypage

I wish to make a custom page, but also have links that go to a different subpage within the same link.

[pooker]

I have a php script I need to run could someone please tell me how I can use it with this article, seeing as with templates it can only call variables from php it seems.

Please I really need help with this thanks

Alot of people seem to have troubles prohibiting guests from accessing their custom pages, I've seen a couple of different methods but none of which seem to work.

Here's what I did, and it works just fine:

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

$navbits = array(); 
$navbits[$parent] = 'Manage Account'; 

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits); 
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
// ######################## START CIP EDITION #############

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == 0)
{
	$show['permission_error'] = 1;
	eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");'); 
}
elseif (isset($_REQUEST['do']))
{
//And my code goes on, but that's none of your business *evil grin*
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('YourTemplateWhateverItIsNamed') . '");');
}
