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!

You need to add a line leading to the forum with the vbulletin files like this prior to requiring the global.php file:

PHP Code:
chdir('/home/site/forum');

What can I add or remove from the following code to keep out Guests and members of Usergroups 1, 2, 3, & 4 who are not also part of Usergroups 5 or higher (if that makes a difference)?


Code:
<?php 

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1); 
define('THIS_SCRIPT', '9LA07081'); // 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( 
    '9LA07081', 
); 

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions 
$actiontemplates = array( 

); 

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################ 

chdir('/var/www/html/Forums/');
require_once('./global.php'); 
if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) print_no_permission();

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

$navbits = array(); 
$navbits[$parent] = '9LA07081'; 

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits); 
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";'); 
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('9LA07081') . '");'); 

?>

Try changing this:
Code:
if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) print_no_permission();
To something more like this:
Code:
if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] OR !is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5, 6, 7)) print_no_permission();
That will give an error if the user is not logged in or if the member is not a member of usergroups 5,6, or 7.

That will give an error if the user is not logged in or if the member is not a member of usergroups 5,6, or 7.
Will this then send them to the 'no permission page' or another error page?

Actually, to break down the code Lynne posted a little more,

The part print_no_permission(); spits out a "No Permission" error for the user if they are not registered or in the usergroups 5,6,7 which would obviously be this part of the code: if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] OR !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5, 6, 7))

Okay, I tried this and it worked when I was logged out but not when I was logged in. I am in Group 5 and it said I did not have sufficient permissions. Should this phrase not be
Code:
if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] OR !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1, 2, 3, 4)) print_no_permission();
I want the error page for groups 1, 2, 3, 4 and people not logged in.

so you would change the 5, 6, 7 to 1, 2, 3, 4. You need to edit the code to how you need it

Whoops, it should have been like this ($vbulletin->userinfo, not $bbuserinfo <- changed in post above now also):
Code:
if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] OR !is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5,6,7)) print_no_permission();

I'll try this. The first 2 ways didn't allow me to view this page.

--------------- Added [DATE]1250447670[/DATE] at [TIME]1250447670[/TIME] ---------------

That worked. Thanks. Does there need to be a space between each usergroup number like you had in the first example?

In firstpost, the code for the custom php should be changed:

Instead of
PHP Code:
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 
it should read
PHP Code:
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~8192); 
to reflect the latest change introduced with 3.8.4 to take care of the PHP 5.3.0-related problems.
Perhaps the OP or one of the mods could take care of that.
