New-B vBulletin Owner - First Question
Hello all,
I just took the plunge and purchased a vBulletin Publishing suite license this weekend. I have it set up in a sub-domain that is not accessible to the general public until I get it all set up (probably going to take a couple months). I have been running UBBThreads for 10 years, so I have a lot of work ahead to get it all transferred over to vB. My first question is, with Threads I could make other pages that would match the style and look of the main Threads pages. Can I do this with vB? |

Yep.
Lynne's article here should get you on the right track. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ht=custom+page |

There's also this article: www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=229194 It's a less flexible solution but only requires that you create a template with your content.
Edit: ...actually, what I said above it's quite correct - your custom template would still need to be a complete html page, so this option is really just a shortcut. |

Also, the instructions for adding my new page to Who's Online - is that code I put in the template? DOes it matter where in the template? I'm sure these instructions make perfect sense if I understood vB better, but can you help me out and explain a little more about "how" I create the Template in the "MASTER STYLE and where do I put it and what file extension does it need? Thanks in advance. |

To create it in your master style you will need to be in Debug mode, the code for who's online is entered in to a plugin using the plugin manager>add new plugin

EDIT: Ok, stand by - I think the light bulb just went on. I found where I can "Add New Template" based on the "MASTER STYLE" in the Admincp. I copied the HTML in your example into that Template editor, then went to my "mypage.php" script and viola! It worked! I'll play around awhile more - don't go too far - I may need you again! |

For MASTER STYLE, Go to Admincp > Styles and Templates > Style Manager > MASTER STYLE and create a new template

Thanks - see my edit above. I sort of stumbled on it and so far it seems to be working. Thanks for your help. Don't go too far thought LOL!
