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!

I am having trouble with the Who's Online Modification. I got the page to work.

It says all you have to do is just open up includes/functions_online.php and find:

PHP Code:
    case 'bugs.php': 
        $userinfo['activity'] = 'bugs'; 
        break; 
So i go to my ftp, drag the file functions_online.php to my desktop and edit it with dreameaver. I use dreamweaver to try and find the code above and it can't be found? Can someone let me know the actuall code i need to find so that i can make this work please! By the way i am using vBulletin 3.7.2 if this helps.

1. create a plugin at hook online_location_process
PHP Code:
if ($filename == 'myfile.php')
{
    $userinfo['activity'] = 'myhack';
} 
2. create a plugin at hook online_location_unknown
PHP Code:
if ($userinfo['activity'] == 'myhack')
{
    $handled = true;
    $userinfo['action'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['viewing_x'], $vbphrase['my_hack']);
    $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="myfile.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q'] ."\">$vbphrase[my_hack]</a>";

I added the conditions to show other templates with do=mypage but it doesn't work.
I added it exactly before ?>

PHP Code:
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'steptwo')
{
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STEPTWO') . '");');
}  
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'stepthree')
{
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STEPTHREE') . '");');
}  
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'stepfour')
{
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STEPFOUR') . '");');
} 
Anyone can help me?
I created all templates, anything, but still doesn't work.


EDIT: FIXED IT! Thanks anyway!

Okay, I think I understand the whole page and template thing and got it to work on my site. My problem, however, is that I have some 2000 pages on my site and what I'm hearing is that I am going to have to create a template for each of them if I want them all restricted to registered members. Is this correct? And can vBulletin handle that many templates? Or is there an easier way to do this. Any help appreciated.

I guess I'll be doin' it the hard way then. Thanks for all your help.

Oh, and do you think vBulletin could handle 10-20,000 templates? That is what I expect to have for pages on my site in the future.

You're doing SOMETHING wrong. Can you post the .php and template codes you're using?

Is this up to date with the latest VB? (3.8.3)
Or do I need to do some extra modifications?

--------------- Added [DATE]1246386340[/DATE] at [TIME]1246386340[/TIME] ---------------

In addition, would it be a good idea to put PHP logic into the VBulletin plugin system? Or should I just put them in this new php page?
