Want to create your very own vBulletin powered page which includes the header, footer, and the user permissions system as well?

Well now you can

Want to know how it will look? Take a look at the attached screenshot below!

Now includes the Who's Online modification!
Also, instructions included on how to create your own pages that are integrated with current vBulletin files!

I'm going to give you a generic page but you can easily modify the contents of the page by changing the template

So here we go

Instructions:

Create a new file, whatever you want to call it (let's say test.php).
Open up test.php and add the following (replace TEST with whatever template you want to show):
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 ############################
// #######################################################################

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

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

?>
Be sure to change 'TEST' to the actual template name, and change 'test' to the filename. Also, change 'Test Page' to whatever you want to show in the navbar, such as 'Viewing Member Profile' (just an example).

Now create the template, called TEST with the following content:
HTML Code:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header

$navbar

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
    <td class="tcat">Title</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="alt1">Text</td>
</tr>
</table>

$footer
</body>
</html>
All done
Now check it out by going to test.php

Who's Online Modification

Now if you want to show who is browsing this new page of yours, just open up includes/functions_online.php and find:
PHP Code:
    case 'bugs.php':
        $userinfo['activity'] = 'bugs';
        break; 
Below, add:
PHP Code:
    case 'test.php':
        $userinfo['activity'] = 'test';
        break; 
(Be sure to change the values to your own!)

Then find:
PHP Code:
        case 'modcplogin':
            $userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['moderator_control_panel_login'];
            break; 
Below add:
PHP Code:
        case 'test':
            $userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Test Page';
            break; 
All done!

----------------------------------

Also if you want to create your own pages 'within' current vBulletin files, do the following:

Open the file you want, and then right before the final ?> in the source code, add the following:

PHP Code:
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'xxx')
{
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEMPLATE_XXX') . '");');
} 
Replace 'xxx' with whatever you want ?do= in the query string to be (for example, replace 'xxx' with 'showprofile' so then someone would type in example.php?do=showprofile to view this template.) Then of course, change TEMPLATE_XXX to your template name, it's that simple!

Hi there,

Do you know how I could edit this template or .php file so that the Notices do not show up if they are active?

Thank you so much for your help!

Templates are created in the Admin CP in the Style Manager, they're not part of any directory. Make sure the template name is exactly the same as where it's referred to in the PHP code.

Have a look at your server that the name is not test.php and the server added another .php and no spaces in the test name which can easily by copied and pasted by mistake.

I made a php file with this method but then made a vba page so I could wrap our site around the page. However I can't seem to make the colors independent of each other. The only way I've been doing it is changing the code within the php file. Any suggestions?

hi,
Thanks for lesson. Exactly i wanted is here.
Still I have some problem with creating my home page. I m sure any one can help me to get rid of it.

* My forum is inside www.example.com/forum/ folder.
* my home page should be www.example.com/index.php

I followes some hacks in this thread and changed my path as follows
Quote:
chdir('/hsphere/local/home/muneer1st/pissupoosa.com/forum/');
require('./global.php');
And I copied all Image , clientscript folder to the root. Now I can see all the images and menu what i want.
* Please have a look at http://www.pissupoosa.com/test.php

My problem is
* My menu are not working (Drop down)
* I cannot access access the correct path for menu.
* All links are directed to root not to the forum/ folder, so it ends up with page not found.

Also i am getting following JavaScript errors.
* vbmenu_register is not defined
* vBulletin_init is not defined

What I am doing wrong here? any one please tell me.

Does anyone know how to create an "I agree" text box with a submit button that will advance to a page depending on whether you agree or not?
