Are there any mods to create custom pages?

I'm looking to create pages an easy non complex way, is there any mod that will do this?

Custom pages require custom coding. There might be a mod that utilizes a template but that won't necessarily meet your specific needs.

Yes, that's an excellent tutorial and I used it to easily get going with creating custom pages. :up:

I tried it, but this is what I got following the directions precisely. http://urbanvapekartel.com/uvk/About.php Blank page. Nothing to see.

Please post the code in your PHP file, and maybe we can determine the issue.

I was actually hoping for a little help figuring it out. This is what I got. I may have something wrong, but I think I did what the instructions said.

PHP Code:

<?php

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

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'about');
define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);  
// 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('about',
);

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

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
// if your page is outside of your normal vb forums directory, you should change directories by uncommenting the next line
// chdir ('/path/to/your/forums');
require_once('./global.php');

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

$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'About Page'));
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);

// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####
$pagetitle = 'About Max Evans';

// ###### NOW YOUR TEMPLATE IS BEING RENDERED ######

$templater = vB_Template::create('Aboutme');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
print_output($templater->render());

?>

Try changing:

PHP Code:

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array('about',
); 


to:

PHP Code:

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array('about');

It looks like the requested file isn't where it's supposed to be...

try putting the about.php into the uvk folder so the url will be http://urbanvapekartel.com/uvk/about.php
