vBulletin Mods

No ones found a way to put the files in any other folder but the forum root? That kind stinks :(

Even CHDIRing before and after global still causes errors with the images and some things.

works beautifully in 3.7 b4 :)
thx!

@top_end_ms - It's really messy to say the least .. even vB's own blog is simply at /blog.php. Some mods that I have are the same way. I hate having random files in my forum root.

I got it working finally. First I copied the client scripts folder into the separate folder I want. Had to copy the /images folder as well (or else no images show up). Then I had to go into the header template and make absolute links for the menu options (or else they came up as domain.com/customfolder/name.php). Still having some issues with the "Search" working on the custom page (keeps going to customfolder/search.php) but other than that, it's as perfect as it will get. Maybe no one will try to search on those pages. ;) Give it a try!

(Not sure if having two client script folders is going to break anything, security issue, etc? Will find out I guess...)

is "Style" and "Template" one and the same thing?

No, they are related but not same. A style is a collection of many templates, stylesheets, some variables, icons, buttons, etc.

Great Instructions, Gary King!! :up::up::up:

Thank You Very Much For Sharing Them!! :up::up::up:

My Best Regards!! ;)

:)

I was able to make the page but the WOL part is showing unknown location. Here is what I put into functions_online.php

case 'store.php':
$userinfo['activity'] = 'store';
break;
case 'store':
$userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Shattered Planet Store';
break;


Also, is there a way to integrate this page into VBA or at least insert a module from VBA? I have a site navigation module I'd like to add on the left side. Thanks.

Opened Notepad.

Created test.php
Pasted the code and changed test to 'FORUMDISPLAY'
Saved to test server

Opened Notepad
Created test.html
Pasted code
Saved to test server

Opened Browser and entered http://localhost/forum/test.php

All I get is a blank page? Am I not using the right template? What am I supposed to be doing to make this work?

Thanks

Have you read the instructions? This is not the way to create a template...

It says "Now create the template, called TEST with the following content:". Templates can be created through the "Styles & Templates > Style Manager" in the AdminCP.

Hi folks,

I'm trying to learn as much as possible in as short a time as possible hehe.

This thread is a great help.

I would like to have a /forums/games.php page which contains thumbnails of flash games.
I have created a template for each game, i.e. custom_game1, custom_game2, etc.
I have insterted the line to call the template in the games.php file, i.e.

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)

Now this only brings up one game in any one window. I don't want to have game1.php, game2.php, etc., I would like to have all the thumbnails in games.php and when clicked on, they would run as normal.

I realise I could do this...

...and that would display each game in it's own window but how would I create the thumbnails?

I'm not looking for exact code, even a hint to a thread where I could learn it.

Thanks
Glen

Hey guys, quick Q here as this is really a good method, however this is my file structure:

Site Structure

1. www.website.com/index.php < Root
2. www.website.com/forums/index.php << Forum Root

Forum is located in 2, trying to make a home page for the forum in 1 to display whenever someone visits the website introducing parts of the site and the forum. The forum will be one of the main parts of the site so I'd like for the forum menus and features to work.

Below is my code:

test.php

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Template called TEST

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

headinclude Template

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

at the end of all of this, this is what I get:



but its supposed to look like this:



Can someone help? I've seriously read through this whole thing...

any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Your images don't work.

Still can't get mine going!!

Here's my Code:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Im getting this error:
http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/e...lobalerror.jpg

Any Ideas?

Its a bit obvious from the error what the problem is Diesel! The global.php file doesn't exist in the folder, read the error messages its not rocket science!
