integrating vb pages into vba cmps

[scruby]

What I want to do is something lots of people have done as mentioned in
11895.

I'm using vbadvanced 2.0.0 and vbulletin 3.5.1, and have followed the instructions to the letter in http://www.vbadvanced.com/membersarea.php?do=viewusermanual&productid=4&pageid=6

what happens is that the page I'm adding (original vbulletin index.php) replaces the entire page without any of the other modules showing.

this is the top of index.html:

<?php
define('VBA_PORTAL', true);
define('VBA_PAGE', 'include');

/*======================================================================*\


this is what's in includes/functions.php:

function print_output($vartext, $sendheader = true)
{
global $pagestarttime, $querytime, $vbulletin;
global $vbphrase, $stylevar;
if (defined('VBA_PORTAL') AND !defined('SKIP_OUTPUT') AND !defined('VBA_
SCRIPT'))
{
define('SKIP_OUTPUT', true);

global $home;

print_portal_output($home, $vartext);
}
if ($vbulletin->options['addtemplatename'])
{
if ($doctypepos = @strpos($vartext, $stylevar['htmldoctype']))
{
$comment = substr($vartext, 0, $doctypepos);
$vartext = substr($vartext, $doctypepos + strlen($stylev
ar['htmldoctype']));
$vartext = $stylevar['htmldoctype'] . "\n" . $comment .
$vartext;
}

[scruby]

this line in cmps_index.php,

define('VBA_SCRIPT', 'CMPS');

ensures that VBA_SCRIPT is always defined when calling print_output()
so, the manual's recommendation in http://www.vbadvanced.com/membersarea.php?do=viewusermanual&productid=4&pageid=6 does not work.

my fix is to replace !defined('VBA_SCRIPT') in functions.php with defined('VBA_INTEGRATED')
and in index.php adding the line define('VBA_INTEGRATED',true);

If somebody wants to tell the real fix, I'm listening.

DIRP!

I figured it out. You don't view it through cmps_index.php
You link directly to index.php and the left column automatically appears

Scruby,

Glad to see you got it worked out. :cool: Yes, it works exactly as you described... you load the 3rd party script as normal and then the 'page identifier' value is used to determine which modules should be shown.

[scruby]

Any modules that should display below the custom content (contents of original index.php), or in the right column won't show up.

I could of sworn I saw a fix for this in some other thread, but I'm having a rough time finding it.
