I like it Lynne... between this and the nav plugin, my life is now made a lot easier than having to sit down and come up with it myself. Very much appreciated. Custom page with menu... excellent.

1. Is is mandatory that I have the text case of there vars to be all in caps in the test.php and in the name of the template?

   How do I get it so that I can retain the case of my test.php but change the case in the template from TEST to test?
2. I plan on making quite a few custom pages so would it be possible to place these php files in another directory?

1. No, you don't need all caps. You just need to be consistent when you use it. If it's in all small letters in the $globaltemplates area, then use all small letters in the $templater.
2. Sure, but you'll have to make sure when you include the global.php page, or any other scripts, you'll have to make sure the path to them are correct.

I get the error:

Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

I tried the other global method from the posts and I get a blank page. My template is under my default page.

Code:

Thanks

And are you putting this file in the same directory as all your other vbulletin files? If not, you need to do a chdir to get the global.php file.

[turtile]

My index file is in unusualplants.net/
The forum is located at unusualplants.net/forums

I tried changing the directory at the beginning of the code (never changing back), right before the global line(never changing back), at the beginning and changing the directory back after the global line, and right before the global line and changed it back after. I get a blank page for each one.

I used this for changing the directory:

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

and this for moving back:

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

Thanks

When you added the template, did you add it to the style you are currently using to browse your forum?

First, make sure the path is correct - it should be the full path to your vb forums directory.

Check your error_logs (if you don't know where they are, ask your host) to see if anything is in there.

the forum.php file is located @ unusualplants.net/forums/

(I'm not sure which time this is set on)


For PHP:
/home1/riptidep/public_html/unusualplants/error_log:

Thanks for all of your help

[Lynne]

It looks like you didn't do your chdir correctly. You need to do the FULL path:

Okay Lynne I am in need of your assistance.



How do i get it so that the nav button "Game Nights" is selected?

[Lynne]

If you defined THIS_SCRIPT at the top of your page, you should use it in your condition for your tab. You should post for help regarding this in the thread where you got the tab code.
