I created a new template called "page_privacy", and entered my information (privacy statement), then when I go to the page:

http://www.domain.com/forums/index.php?page=privacy

It does not show up... What am I doing wrong? I thought this should be very simple way to make a custom page...

Thanks for any advice...

There you go... Not much to see, it defaults to the std. forums page... I have a template template defined as "page_privacy", and it looks just fine.

So I take it you didn't make the PHP file that should go with your template?

That's not how you create a custom page in vBulletin. This is:

Create a template called "custom_somename" ( it must be prefixed with custom_ ) and put something like this in it:

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
	$headinclude
	<title>Some Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar

Some Page Content

$footer
</body>
</html>

Then you can call it using:

Code:

 http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/misc.php?do=page&template=somename

Or you could add the php file so it looks much cleaner. For example, instead of looking like:

http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/misc...plate=somename

It will look more like:

http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/somename.php

Thanks, figured it out...

I use vBSEO to rewrite them to friendly URLs.

Couple of examples:

http://www.cbrxx.com/misc.php?do=pag...te=merchandise

http://www.cbrxx.com/rules.html
http://www.cbrxx.com/misc.php?do=page&template=rules

http://www.cbrxx.com/privacy.html
http://www.cbrxx.com/misc.php?do=page&template=privacy

http://www.cbrxx.com/link.html
http://www.cbrxx.com/misc.php?do=page&template=link

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