What do you mean by "adding it to the template cache at the top of the page" ??

Thanks M8

Oh k. Finally i figured this out. I am such a n00b.

Ok,

You don't need to create a new custom template for this basic page stuff. You can have it display an existing template

If you're seeing the "all white"screen with the source:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

You're almost there.

The problem is probably your print_output line, you're probably printing a nonexistant template. Try using a template included with vb3 like GENERIC_SHELL. i.e.
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('GENERIC_SHELL') . '");');

Then if you want to get creative with a new custom template, you must add it using the vB3 admin control panel. Then when you fetch_template('newCustomTemplate') it will show up instead of the "white screen."

Someone want to confirm this?

What's your footer template look like?

You could just enclose your footer in a table.

Works great except the new page does not show up in the nav bar. Any ideas?

Hi,

I want to create a new custom page in the root directory of my website but I always get the errors below. What am I doing wrong here (I'm using vb 3.0.3) ?

Warning: main(./includes/init.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/autosurf/public_html/forums/global.php on line 18

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './includes/init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/autosurf/public_html/forums/global.php on line 18

sully02 · #**211** 08-01-2004, 12:02 AM

Right now, I'm looking through the thread to see if it's there, but I want to include my homepage in the list of locations for currently active users. The problem? The homepage, like my forum homepage is also named index.php

So...

Homepage = www.livemockdraft.com/index.php
Forum main = www.livemockdraft.comforums/index.php

Is there a way to get the functions_online.php file to differentiate between the two?

Ghostsuit · #**212** 08-03-2004, 02:05 AM

I would like to know this as well.

sully02 · #**215** 08-12-2004, 02:41 PM

And while I'm at it, I would like a link to appear below their location of my new page. Every time I try to add one (Going off what I see in other conditions), I end up getting a parse error. Any suggestions?

wreck · #**216** 08-14-2004, 11:37 PM

would this be compatible with vB2 or can anybody make it so its compatible with vB2

DarkWarriorXII · #**217** 08-15-2004, 12:58 AM

I got my test page (test.php) to work, but it comes up without showing my forum style (it shows the original vB style). Here's the code of the page (oh yeah, the page is outside the vB directory):

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 ############################ 

chdir('/home/kowlcla/public_html/forum/');

require('./global.php');



// ####################################################################### 

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

// ####################################################################### 



$navbits = array(); 

$navbits[$parent] = 'vB Test Page; 



$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits); 

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

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



?>

1. What's wrong here?
2. And the links all point to my website's root directory, not my forum's root directory. For example: http://domain.com/usercp.php instead of http://domain.com/forum/usercp.php.
3. And the navbar drop down menus don't work. How do I fix this also?

Thanks for answering all my questions.

Ok I created the test page and in my template I try and put in this

<?php
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");
mysql_select_db("reports",$db);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM hrc",$db);
echo "<TABLE BORDER=2>";
echo"<TR><TD><B>Full Name</B><TD><B>Credit Card Number</B><TD></TR>";
while($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<TR><TD>".$myrow["firstname"]." ".$myrow["lastname"]."</a><TD>".$myrow["creditcardnum"];
}
echo "</TABLE>";
?>

I always get an error trying to put in php code into a template.
I am trying to have a page that only a group of people can view and which must be logged into the board to see this page. I want this code to be used to retrive info from a database. It works as it stands like it is and as it is but I cant place this code into a template.
Any Ideas?

MiLynne · #**222** 08-24-2004, 01:53 AM

I looked through all 15 pages and saw the question asked that I want answered, but no one answered it sooooo..

I'd like to use this page to integrate phpMychat into it...how would I do this?

root123 · #**223** 08-24-2004, 08:42 AM

This is great - and it helped me a lot. But I have one problem though. I'm new to vB, so I hope that someone can help me with this problem.

I have created a non vB-page as described in this thread - and it is working fine.

But when I try to parse a variable in the URL calling the non vB-page, the variable is lost.

Ex.

http://www.mysite.com/nonvBpage.php?parm=1

In this case it seems as the the nonvBpage.php does not recieve the variable parm and its value.

How can this be (or... what am I doing wrong)?

Cheers
Root

Dean C · #**224** 08-24-2004, 10:08 AM

$_REQUEST['varname']; use that for all incoming variables from a URL

root123 · #**225** 08-24-2004, 12:19 PM

Thanks

) That solved the problem .....

sfowler39 · #**226** 08-25-2004, 03:48 PM

I can create the test page and it works fine, but I have a php page that I want to be part of the board with its user permissions. How do I call it up? I have followed all the instructions but still cant call it up.

On the first post of this thread Gary King has wrote this in the end of his post:

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!

Well my file is called test2.php in my forum dir. I added this to the bottom of my file and this is my code of the test2.php file

<?php
echo "hello";

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'showtest2')
{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('test') . '");');
}

?>

As you can see all this page is- is saying hello for my test2.php file. The webpage should be wrapped around with its pemissions that vbulletin has.
In your example you wrote this in order to view your template: example.php?do=showprofile to view this template.

HUH????

I am confused here - for one there is no file called example.php. what is the example file is this the file that is my test2.php file or index.php or cmps_index.php or I dont get it - help please to understand how to add a external php page into my site with the security of vbulletin cause i want to secure a page or 2 and if a person has not logged into the bb that is an administrator then he cant view a certain page.

If I use this http://hrc/vb/test2.php?do=showtest2
I get this as an error

hello
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fetch_template() in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\vb\test2.php on line 6

As you can see with the hrc I am on an intranet and vb is the forum.

Mosh · #**227** 08-28-2004, 01:59 AM

Gary,

Thank you very much for that, just what I needed.
It works extremely well, I changed the template code a bit so it displays several tables per page.

So thanks again.

JD.

btw, there is no place to click Install, but count this as one of them if you can.

indie · #**228** 08-30-2004, 06:58 AM

For step 2, creating the template, how and where do we do that? From the admin panel? thx

Mosh · #**229** 08-30-2004, 07:14 AM

indie,

In AdminCP select Styles & Templates -> Style Manager.
On the right there is a drop down box that displays All Style Options, click the v button to the right of it. From the drop down menu select Add New Template.

Hope that helps,

JD.

Adrian Schneider · #**230** 09-01-2004, 08:11 PM

Sorry if this has been covered before, but for the parent link thing (for the vb navigation) on custom pages, how do you set one inbetween the site index and the page. Say if I'm working on a 'Misc Downloads' page, can I add a link between it and the index called 'Downloads'. Thanks

Adrian Schneider · #**231** 09-03-2004, 08:43 PM

Surtain23 · #**232** 09-04-2004, 10:38 PM

For all those having problems with the query strings...

I was trying to fix this, and finally I have gotten it working! This is what I used as my test file:

Code:

 <?php
 
 // ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
 error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
 
 // #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
 define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
 define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'roster'); // 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(
 
 );
 
 // pre-cache templates used by specific actions
 $actiontemplates = array(
 'ROSTER_BUF'
 );
 
 // ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
 require_once('./global.php');
 
 // #######################################################################
 // ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
 // #######################################################################
 
 $navbits = array();
 $navbits[$parent] = 'Test Page';
 
 $navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
 eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
 if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'buf')
  {
  eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('ROSTER_BUF') . '");');
  }
 eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('ROSTER_MAIN') . '");');
 
 ?>

I hope I helped solve some of your problems (If you even visit this thread for help).

there has got to be a better way to do this outside of the forum directory. this is just not working at all.

Thanks this is just what ive been looking for, im going to use it as a main page ratherthan have all the gubbins that comes with a portal.

Installed and working fine, but rather than edit the template for the text is it possible to pull a certain thread from a forum? what i want to do is have a description and some pics and instructions for my rpg site.

many thanks for any help

crd · #**236** 10-06-2004, 10:07 PM

this works great when my custom page is a simple display page.

I want now a page that has several possible forms which it populates from custom database fetches. The form you get depends on data you may have previously posted to the page. I have the code written, but I don't have the page integrated into vbulletin.

So for example in the part of my code that now outputs html, that html would move to a template or subtemplates, yes? (which I must declare in the template list?) How do I go about populating them with variables I make up? I see in the vbulletin code several ways to use templates, and not sure which method to use or why.

Oh one more thing: If possible, I want also this page to look like the usercp, not the main forum.

To be concrete:
Supose my code has
SELECT * from mydatatable WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]
Then I submit the query and fetch a row into a variable called $mydatatable

I'm just gonna try to use $mydatatable in the template and see what happens.

Seanie · #**237** 10-10-2004, 12:15 PM

forum... forum.site.com (/home/forum/public_html/)

djohn · #**238** 10-15-2004, 12:51 PM

i have 2 questions.

1. how can i create a custom vBulletin page that can only be viewed by a certain member/usergroup?
2. how can i create a page, which consists of a few smaller ones? e.g. http://forums.site.com/tools.php?ftp, http://forums.site.com/tools.php?faq, http://forums.site.com/tools.php?bla, etc.

thanks in advance

blueuniverse · #**239** 10-20-2004, 04:01 PM

Is it possible to add PHP within the templates, so they appear on the pages? Is there a mod on this, or some fix possibly? It appears from the previous posts that, sfowler who was trying to use php within the template couldn't get it to work.

I would also like to know something like this. I am running a 3rd party video gallery for my site and laready have it so that user registration is required to view the gallery but I would like to know who to restrict it further to just members of several usergroups (for promotional purposes).

Here is my current PHP file, please note that this is located outside the forum directory of course-

PHP Code:


			
<?

session_start();

if (substr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], -9) != "index.php") {

    header('Location:' . $url . '/index.php');

} 



define('SCRIPT_PATH',"includes");

require_once (SCRIPT_PATH .'/mysql.inc.php');

define('DIR_PATH',"$dir_path");

require_once (DIR_PATH .'/includes/getlang.php');

require_once (DIR_PATH .'/includes/global.php');



if (!isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['bbuserid'])) { 

$bbuserid=0; 

$logged=0; 

} else { 

$logged=($user=$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['bbuserid']); 

} 



if ($logged >= "1") { 





$time_start = getmicrotime();

require_once (DIR_PATH .'/includes/functions.gal.php');

require_once (DIR_PATH .'/includes/player.inc.php');

include_once (DIR_PATH .'/header.php');

require_once (DIR_PATH .'/includes/gallery.inc.php');

$time_end = getmicrotime();

show_queries($time_start,$time_end);

include_once (DIR_PATH .'/footer.php');



} else { 

echo "<div align=center>You must be logged in and a registered user of the Trackpads Community.<br><br>";

echo "Please click <a href=http://www.trackpads.com/forum/login.php><i><b>here</b></i></a> ";

echo "to login first...<br><br>Or click <a href=http://www.trackpads.com/forum/register.php><i>";

echo "<b>here</b></i></a> to register with Trackpads.";

echo "Registration only takes a minute and is free!</div>";

}



ob_end_flush();

?>

Thanks in advance for any help,
