[Release] [Beta 2] Simple vB powered web page version 2.0

Modification: Simple vB powered web page (svBpwp).
By: Brad.loo

This is a external script that will allow you to add extra pages to your vBulletin that intergrate with your style settings. It allows you to use all of vBulletin's built in style vars in your html code so you never have to worry about updating flat html files to match you new board's style every again.

The script supports multiple pages via one file and one template using <if> condition tags unlike its vB 2 counter part. Also you may use all global variables and templates in your code.

Updates:

2.0 beta 2 released - beta 2 solves all reported bugs in beta 1 but adds no new funconality. If you are running beta 1 it is recomended that you upgrade. To do so download the zip file attached in this thread and upload the new pages.php

How to use this script:

Heres a quick list of variables allowed to be used with this script, they are off the top of my head so I might have missed a few.

$bbuserinfo[] - Show's current users info if any
$stylevar[] - vBulletin's build in style var's
$vboptions[] - vBulletins options
$showdate - Current date
$showwelcome - Could be useful for welcome panels or the like, use this variable in conditions when you want to show certain info to a guest or regged member. Reports false if user is guest and ture is user is member.
$navbar - Shows navbar
$header - Shows contents of the HEADER template
$footer - Shows contents of the FOOTER template
$headinclude - Shows contents of the headerinclude template
$gobutton - Displays go button (go button template)
$timezone - Shows content of timezone template.
$_REQUEST['getpage'] and $page - Use to determain code to display per page.

Is there anyway I can add php into the page?

Also, how can I make other pages?

I tried putting the template call like the "simple page" one, but it just messed up.

I realize thie is an old thread, but.

I've used this addon sense it was released and its been working great.

But...

After upgrading to vbulletin 3.0.6 I've started having a problem.

On the pages I have created, the vbulletin DHTML menu's mainly the navbar dropdown menu's dont work anymore.

they may not haved worked in vb 3.0.4 and 3.0.5 as well, but I skipped those versions. It worked on 3.0.3 and below though.

I hope you can help with this Brad, or anybody.

Thanks in advance for any help

Here are some examples of what I mean

2.1 aims to eleminate the need for a vBportal type hack, this small package will be able to do it all with plug-in's. 2.1 might also warrent a name change of this script because it will become that more powerful.

At this state 2.1 will include the fallowing when released:

Page options:

All of the fallowing are controled from a new page added to the admin cp.


Perrmissions: They are controled on a page by page bases, allowing you to to show content to only certain usergroups

Nav Bar: Custom message for the nav bar

Style settings: You can specify what style is used on a page by page bases

Password: You can restrict pages with a password stored in the database as md5, users must enter a pass before viewing the page (requires cookie users)

Visable option: You can only allow admins to view a page with this option

View counter: Each page supports a view counter if turned on

Plug-in's: If a page is stored in the database (by id) then it can have a set of plug-in's stored in the database. These plug-in's allow you to add your own php to pages without hacking the files. You are restricted to 20 plug-ins per page for resource reasons.

Page Database:

2.1 will also include a new page database, basicly a listing of all your pages, more details on this later

Other Options

It may not make it into the frist version but users on apache will eventally get a search engine friendly version that will print clean links.


Final note: This is the same system I am developing for this site, and it will be released here for free

2 years on... any idea when 2.1 will be released... this is exactly what i want however i want without my vb style, header etc... basically i want a blank page that i can edit but only have members or certain usergroups view it...
