How To Make Custom Pages Like MyBOBBA

Now you may be wondering how to do this. Well it is actually easier than you think it is. This MOD requires no plugins however the only way in which you can edit it is by file. The reason for this is I find it is easier to use than the admin panel as it means that you can include PHP, Javascript or whatever else you want.

The code is as follows:

PHP Code:

---

<?php
$curdir = getcwd ();
chdir('/LINK TO/public_html/forum');
require_once('/LINK TO/public_html/forum/global.php');
chdir ($curdir);

echo $headinclude;
echo $header;
echo $navbar;

?>

Your Content
 
<?php

echo $footer;

?>

---

On this page you can use lots of different codes which can show things like the persons user names or even limit it to certain usergroups - This is located here.

Also, you can use any css which is included in your forum skin for instance .tcat etc.

Please note that this content will be designed inside your forum design and can have anything included on the page as the coding inside the page is not related to the forum installation.

Im guessing u rename

chdir('/blah/public_html/);
require_once('/blah/public_html/global.php');

to the place it actually is?

so to something like

chdir('/wolf/public_html/);
require_once('/wolf/public_html/global.php');

??

i do that and its:


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_GLOBAL in /home/wolf/public_html/box.php on line 4

also: http://www.habforum.com/codes.php not working.

Oh, wow. Thanks.

The only thing is that the link doesn't work.

I really don't know what that error is but to find out what to put where the YOUR LINK is add:

PHP Code:

---

<?php 
echo getcwd(); 
?>

---

and save it as anything. Remember to delete the /public_html on the above link first though.

PHP Code:

---

<?php
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == "USERGROUP ID")
    {   
?>
Shown Code
<?php 
}
else
{ 
?>
Error
<?php
}
?>

---

To show a users username:

PHP Code:

---

$vbulletin->userinfo['username']; 


---

In colour:

I told you to use that code on a different link and then place that where the /LINKTO/public_html is in the link above and it should work.

When are you planning on making that codes.php I really would lkike to see it.

When do you plan on adding the page with the codes?

Very cool, for some reason I thought it was harder to do than this...

With the logged in code, you might want to find the vbphrase that throws out the 'You must login' error.
