My file code is

PHP Code:

<?php
require_once('includes/class_paid_subscription.php');

$susers = $db->query_read_slave("
    SELECT *
    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "subscriptionlog
    WHERE status = 1
    AND userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']
);
$isPremium = $db->num_rows($susers);
if ($isPremium != 0){
    $st = '1';
}else{
    $st = '0';
}
    echo $st;

?>

I''m not sure where query_read_slave is loaded. Did you try loading the hook in global_start?

You should be using $vbulletin->db... to access queries, data, and the like... try this code:

PHP Code:

<?php
global $vbulletin;

require_once('includes/class_paid_subscription.php');

$susers = $vbulletin->db->query_read_slave("
    SELECT *
    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "subscriptionlog
    WHERE status = 1
    AND userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']
);
$isPremium = $vbulletin->db->num_rows($susers);
if ($isPremium != 0){
    $st = '1';
}else{
    $st = '0';
}
    echo $st;

?>

Nevermind, got it. All you have to do is change bot $php_include variables and the array name to the same thing.

Thanks it works perfectly, they should update or make more clear the vBulletin manual...

Hello Crimm,

Thanks very much for your post about including PHP files ... It was much more clear than in the manual.

I followed your instructions and everything works fine for the forum, but in the CMS the PHP file is not included.

I tried to fix it by adding:

PHP Code:

 ob_start();
  require_once('plugins/rightsidebar.php');
  $php_include = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
vB_Template::preRegister('footer',array('php_include' => $php_include)); 


To global_start of the CMS. But it still does not work... Can you help me?

Hello,

If would like to use many PHP files on URL can we do something like:

PHP Code:

ob_start();
  require_once('LOCATION OF EXTERNAL FILE');
  $php_include = ob_get_contents();

  require_once('LOCATION OF EXTERNAL OF SECOND FILE');
  $php_include_SECOND_FILE = ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();
vB_Template::preRegister('TEMPLATE YOU ARE USING',array('php_include' => $php_include));
vB_Template::preRegister('TEMPLATE YOU ARE USING FOR SECOND FILE',array('php_include' => $$php_include_SECOND_FILE)); 


??????????

You should be able to do this (use ob_get_clean() instead of ob_get_contents()):

ob_start();
  require_once('LOCATION OF EXTERNAL FILE');
  $php_include = ob_get_clean();

  require_once('LOCATION OF EXTERNAL OF SECOND FILE');
  $php_include_SECOND_FILE = ob_get_clean();

ob_end_clean();
vB_Template::preRegister('TEMPLATE YOU ARE USING',array('php_include' => $php_include));
vB_Template::preRegister('TEMPLATE YOU ARE USING FOR SECOND FILE',array('php_include' => $$php_include_SECOND_FILE));

I think if you want you could also put a preRegister call after each call to ob_get_clean() so you wouldn't need a bunch of different variables.

I've tried the following code. But whenever you click a user thread, no matter what thread you click, it always brings us to the same thread.

ob_start();
   require_once('/home/ihatejob/revenantgaming.com/forum/modules/slidermodule.php');
$php_include = ob_get_clean();

ob_end_clean();
vB_Template::preRegister('adv_portal',array('php_include' => $php_include));

any help?

Hello guys,

I finally achieved it!! I did a small tutorial about making External PHP files that can be used as Widgets in vBulletin CMS.

I do not know if I can post links here ... but here is the tutorial ... I think someone might find it useful in the future.

I am helping a friend out to try and display his wordpress header above his vb forums header, im using the code below in the plugin and calling it in the header template:

ob_start();
  require_once('http://al-hussain.co.uk/wp-
content/themes/Karma/header.php');
  $php_include = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
vB_Template::preRegister('Test',array('php_include' => $php_include));

but get the following errors:

Warning: require_once() [function.require-once]: http:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_include=0 in [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(106) : eval()'d code on line 3

Warning: require_once(http://al-hussain.co.uk/wp- content/themes/Karma/header.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(106) : eval()'d code on line 3

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'http://al-hussain.co.uk/wp- content/themes/Karma/header.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/alhussai/public_html/forum/includes/class_bootstrap.php(106) : eval()'d code on line 3

Im running Wordpress 3.4.1 and vb 4.1.12, any ideas how to solve this?
