First, I'm a code dummy.......

I've been attempting to follow this seemingly simple -TEMPLATE- in order to create vB template driven pages.

I think I'm struggling with calling the right variables.

I created a rules.php file in my root dir (my forum sit in root/forums). Here is where I'm at:

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

I put my script in the root dir, and when I run it I get:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/adkhighp/public_html/rules.php on line 8

I highlight places I think may be wrong, but I'm not sure. Not sure what error message means, or how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

fetch_template('forums/static/forum_rules') <-- This line calls the php doc i created that I want displayed in the template.

If your script is already in your forumhome directory, then there is no need for a chdir.

Also on line 8, the + shouldn't be there:

Lol, reading your post a bit more, you got + signs everywhere. Looks like you replaced avery space with a plus.

[Mavs00]

LOL, No that must have been a copy/paste error or something.

The exact code (copied from the server)

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)

And it is still getting the same error

[Marco van Herwaarden]

I just tried, but get no error.

Figured it out, Thanks Marco (I took the link out, as the error code is now gone).

I'll post results for anyone with a similar issue. It's easier than I thought, took a different approach though. First, I took the basic code from the this posted -TEMPLATE-

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)

First I removed the {chdir('./forums');} line as Marcho suggested and than changed the other highlighted section to my custom name. Then I saved the file as rules.php in my root forum directory (if you do not save it there any images called on by your vbulletin main.css get lost)

Then I went into vBulletin admin panel;

Styles & Templates --> Style Manager --> Template Options (Add New Template)

and then created a basic html table;

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

Then saved it as for_rules

That gave me -THIS- , which is exactly what I was looking for.
