Want to create your very own vBulletin powered page which includes the header, footer, and the user permissions system as well? A live example of this complete process can be seen if you view our Privacy Statement and Advertise page.

Instructions:

Create a new file, whatever you want to call it (let's say test.php).
Open up test.php and add the following (replace TEST with whatever template you want to show):

PHP Code:

  <?php

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

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'test'); // change this depending on your filename
define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);

// ################### 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(

);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

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

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

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

?>

Be sure to change 'TEST' to the actual template name, and change 'test' to the filename. Also, change 'Test Page' to whatever you want to show in the navbar, such as 'Viewing Member Profile' (just an example).

Now create the template, called TEST with the following content:

HTML Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header

$navbar

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
    <td class="tcat">Title</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="alt1">Text</td>
</tr>
</table>

$footer
<br /><div style="z-index:3" class="smallfont" align="center">SEO by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.vbseo.com/1394/">vBSEO</a> 3.2.0</div><br /><div style="z-index:3" class="smallfont" align="center">SEO by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.vbseo.com/1394/">vBSEO</a> 3.2.0</div></body>
</html>

Note: The following should be added to all of the forms which POST back to vBulletin or a vBulletin script. This will automatically be filled out with a 40 character hash that is unique to the user.

HTML Code:

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

Now you may check it out by going to test.php

Adding Custom Online Locations

If you want Who's Online to reflect your new custom page when someone is browsing it (rather than Unknown Location), do the following steps:

1. Open AdminCP.
2. Plugin System -> Add New Plugin
3. Fill in the following:

Code:

      Product: vBulletin
      Hook Location: online_location_process
      Title: My Custom Location (Part1)
      Plugin PHP Code: if ($filename == 'test.php')
      {
              $userinfo['activity'] = 'test';
      }
      Plugin is Active: Yes

4. Click Save.
5. Plugin System -> Add New Plugin
6. Fill in the following:

Code:

      Product: vBulletin
      Hook Location: online_location_unknown
      Title: My Custom Location (Part2)
      Plugin PHP Code: if ($userinfo['activity'] == 'test')
      {
              $userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Test Page'; // you might wanna use a $vbphrase here...
              $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="./test.php' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . '">This is My Test Page</a>'; // you might wanna use a $vbphrase here...
              $handled = true;
      }
      Plugin is Active: Yes

7. In each of the above two, make sure to change "test" values to your own.
8. Note that $userinfo['where'] is optional. It can be controlled with a usergroup permission "can view detailed location".

You are done!

----------------------------------

Also if you want to create your own pages 'within' current vBulletin files, do the following:

Open the file you want, and then right before the final ?> in the source code, add the following:

PHP Code:

  if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'xxx')
{
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEMPLATE_XXX') . '");');
}

Replace 'xxx' with whatever you want ?do= in the query string to be (for example, replace 'xxx' with 'showprofile' so then someone would type in example.php?do=showprofile to view this template.) Then of course, change TEMPLATE_XXX to your template name, it's that simple!

Be sure to change 'TEST' to the actual template name, and change 'test' to the filename. Also, change 'Test Page' to whatever you want to show in the navbar, such as 'Viewing Member Profile' (just an example).

Now create the template, called TEST with the following content:

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header

$navbar

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

</tr>
</table>
