New page, using header and footer

Hi,

I am new to all of this but I would like to add a new page to my forum hpisavageforum.com for displaying rates to advertise etc. I know HTML but I do not know how to incorporate a new page into my forum and to also use my headers and footers. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

If its outside the forums dir, just go

PHP Code:

require ('./forums/global.php'); 


But if its inside the forums dir, then go

PHP Code:

$header 


Conent here

PHP Code:

footer 


I believe this is right. I havent made to many outside VB pages.

It needs to be a bit more than that. Basically c-prompt made a hack for it

make a php script with this in it:

PHP Code:

<?php
error_reporting(7);

$templatesused='advertise';

require('./global.php');

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
    show_nopermission();
}

$bbusername = $bbuserinfo[username];

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('advertise')."\");");

?>

upload that to your forum directory
then make a template called "advertise" and put your html in it using the $header and $footer like the other templates of your site

this checks to see if the person is at least registered to view the page

Oh ok. My bad. thanks for cleaifying it mist. I read the question wrong

No problem Logik and drives fast - that will work but there' no need to assign the value of $bbuserinfo[username] to $bbusername really

I couldn't find the hack from c-prompt. Could you direct me to that? Thanks!

[Dean C]

I can't seem to find it either - this is very odd O.o

I figured it out -- it's because he spells it c-pr0mpt . I found the hack HERE. I also like Logician's hack.

Thanks!

hehe I searched for prompt and couldn't find it either

Thank for reminding me of his silly username (vb member search shouldn't be case-sensitive) hehe
