Follow the steps in the User's Manual on adding a new page. It really isn't that hard. ;)

I have followed how to add a new page, I got it to make a new page, but how do I put the php/html into the middle section of the page?

Page Template

If you would like for this page to display a certain vBulletin template, simply enter the name of that template here. If a template is entered here then your "Custom Page Content" module will be used to display the content of that template. Simply leave this field blank if you do not wish to have a custom template on this page.
Note: You must have your 'Custom Page Content' module enabled for this page, otherwise this setting will have no effect.

I am trying to add this to a template and it gives me the following error:
The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/sanjiyan/public_html/f7/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3055) : eval()'d code on line 43

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

Below is the code I am trying to insert into the template

Any ideas? I have none...

For one thing, you don't need <html>, <head>, and those other tags as these will already be on the page. Secondly, you can't use PHP in templates.

yep I found that out, any ideas how I can make a basic HTML page but use the VB style? Apart from making it all the same by physcially making the background and table the same colours, is there a quick and easier way?

IE could I use vbadvanced to make a new page, and use a template to call that .php file and place it inside the new page?

Watson, or San...

Are you trying to put in a nav panel (or create middle column content) like this: www.myfamilycorner.net ?

I have it set up, so that the nav menu is a template. It also is a module that shows on the left column of my pages. Is that what you are trying to do? Just trying to clarify before trying to help. ;)

See the links: About Us, Rules, then F.A.Q.

It's all integrated, w/o leaving the front page. Only the center area changes (w/ exception of the FAQ, in which case, the center and the right changes).

Well I made a new module and made it so that it calls the .php file in that way....

It works, but its putting the module at the top of the screen, see attached image....

I have attached my new php code, including the stuff for the module.

anyone got any ideas on how to fix this location thing?

Oh I cant add it to exclude a template, as I dont have it calling any template, I have tried that idea. I really want this to work, and I am tearing my hair out.

I have it working now thanks to this thread:

Its amazing when you just get tired of trying to solve your php bugs, and just browse the site for something to do, and stumble across the 'help' needed to solve your own issues.
