Adding Pages

[Charged]

Just wondered if there is an easy way to add pages using the same style as done on the forum

Can I just make a template called "page1" for example in the customer template area and then simply link to page1.php and it come up?

Also if that is possible as the froum is in a subfolder of domain.com/forum/ would that page link from domain.com/forum/page1.php or can I have it be domain.com/page1.php

or even better domain.com/page1/index.php ?

So I basically want to be able to add bits like $header and $footer to other pages to make page creation that bit easier.

I'd also like to be able to make the main domain.com use a forum marked news to have a news posting on the front page, any hints tips or where to look for help would be appreciated

And I just realised this should have been in the questions forum, so if someone wants to move it there ;]

Except the WOL part, it's still the same in vBulletin 3.5

is there a way to do this outside the forum directory?

[Andreas]

Yes.
require_once('/path/to/forum/global.php');

this is what i have but i cant get it to work outside the forum directory

<?php 

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

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS ####################### 
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1); 
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'test.php'); // 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( 
    'test',

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

$navbits = array(); 
$navbits[$parent] = 'Test Page'; 

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits); 
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";'); 
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('test') . '");'); 

?>

PHP Code:

chdir('/path/to/forums');
require_once('./global.php');

ok, that got me a little closer...

outside the forum ... edit

inside the forum ... edit

the latter looks exactly the way i want it to look outside the forum, both are using the same 'test' template

You must adjust the path for the CSS.
