Major Additions - Content Pages for vB 4.0

Content pages is the result of a need for a module that would handle normal TEXT, HTML and/or PHP pages within vBulletin, this need came after an old web site I was helping to administer switched from phpBB and phpNuke to vBulletin, after the migration lots of content pages were not migrated and there was not an easy way to achieve that either and these content pages were needed as they contain valuable information for the club. I searched for a similar mod that can handle this kind of information but couldn?t find any that would fit the needs of that site, so I decided to create my own and share it as freeware so everybody can benefit from it.

The power of this MOD lays in the fact that it can accept PHP, HTML and/or TEXT as the content for the page, so the use of this MOD is almost unlimited with almost no restriction.

Before adding your pages, please make sure they work as expected on a simple PHP, HTML or TEXT page without any error, making sure all tags are properly closed, and that the page do not contain tags which may affect your overall vBulletin style. You may apply any local style, though, but make sure those new css styles will not interfere with the original vBulletin styles.

Once the page has been tested as a basic php, html or text page you can just add a content page and paste the php/html/text code into the content of the new page, the same apply to the signature of the page which can also be a php, html or text code and it is appended to the content page at the end before rendering the page, the content and the signature are considered to be from the same type.

Features:
- Manage Content Pages
- PHP, HTML and TEXT pages supported
- Navtab plugin
- vB4.0.x compatible

Take a look at the contentpages-v1.0.0.pdf document included in the zip file for full description, installation and upgrade instructions.

I hope you like it.

Latest version:
1.1.0 production

If you find bugs please let me know, I cannot dedicate to it 100%, but I can assure you I?ll find the time to fix any problem found, also if there?s any enhancement you think will be useful please also let me know and I?ll see what can I do to include it in a newer release.
This is my first vBulletin MOD, I?ve just started a couple of months ago when the club I am a member of acquired a vB 4.0 license, and prior to that I had no experience on this software, only as a user, not even moderator, on other forums.

Please remember to click "Mark as Installed" if you use this modification.
Also feel free to nominate this modification for the MOTM, and/or use the donate link provided (Support Developer).

Thanks to Dr.osamA for the Arabic translation.

I do not think the MOD was installed correctly, please de-install it and then reinstall it again.
.
In any case to create pages you have to go to the AdminCP and select "Content Pages" option, once there, click on the "Add page" option, fill in the blanks by just copying/pasting the PHP, HTML or Text page itself into the field and then save it, and that's it.

Once the MOD is successfully installed go to the AdminCP and look for Content Pages, it should be almost at the bottom, there are options for changing the settings, add categories and pages.

Same problem here:

Not Found

The requested URL /upload/contpages.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I'm not seeing the option to add a page in the admin cp.

Help?

Thanks!

P.S. Using VB Suite 4.0.4 PL1

There's a vB configuration problem on your site, there's no such "/upload/contpages.php" it should be "contpages.php" without the "/upload" I have no idea where that filename came from.

Where exactly are you seeing that message ? from the NabVar?

If the MOD was installed correctly these are some the links from AdminCP:
http://www.yourdomain.com/<vbforumroot>/admincp/contentpages_admin.php?do=addcat
http://www.yourdomain.com/<vbforumroot>/admincp/contentpages_admin.php?do=addpage
http://www.yourdomain.com/<vbforumroot>/admincp/contentpages_admin.php


Front page:
http://www.yourdomain.com/<vbforumroot>/contpages.php

just change www.yourdomain.com and <vbforumroot> to match your site.

That might give you some ideas where the configuration problem is coming from in your site.
