Extra page driven by forum templates · **Released**: 03-26-2002

This is a really simple hack. This is for adding other pages to your site all driven by the forums templates. This also has instructions for adding it to whos online!

Example:
http://www.yaxay.com/yack/privacy.php?s=

This page is driven via the normal forum templates.
Sshot of admin area for this page:

Sshot of whos online if the person is on the page:

The instructions are for installing a page for a privacy statement. But just replace all instances of privacy, and privacy.php with the page you are creating. Very easy.

Instructions attached. :classic:

Can anyone assist please... I get an error reported when I try to load the new page which is:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gettemplate() in ......../forums/privacy.php on line 7

... and line 7 is highlighted in red below

Code:

<?php
error_reporting(7);

require('./global.php');


eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('forumprivacy')."\");");

?>

I have created the forumprivacy which appears in the custom templates section in Styles Management>Edit Templates

Can anyone advice please... thanks

"Undefined function" looks like it can't find global.php.

Is this file (privacy.php) in the same directory as global.php? It needs to be.

Also, make sure your forumprivacy template is part of the default template style. I also copied it to all of my other template styles.

I ensured that I was in the default template when I created the template. I have checked the names to make sure I have created them correctly.

Can you suggest something else for me to try please...? is it to do with vB3 Gold perhaps...?

Well this is a vB2 hack. I'm not sure if it works with vB3. Heck, I couldn't tell you if vB3 even has a gettemplate() function!

[Edit] I just checked. It looks like gettemplate() no longer exists in vB3. It's now fetch_template(). Also, I found a thread on doing this for vB3 here.

Yup, this hack won't work on vB3.

Use the link I provided in my previous message for the same (apparent) functionality.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
