Static HTML Pages

[Allen Mead]

Hi guys,

Anyone wanna lend a hand to help me create some static html pages with vbulletin 3.0.3.??

Here's a link to it on vbulletin.org. I must be really thick as I can't get it to ********** work :mad: :o

Cheers!

Allen,

For static HTML pages have you contemplated creating new pages in CMPS and then using the Custom Content Template feature?

If (big if there) I'm following the VB.org thread correctly the results would be same of what you're trying to do.

Actually, errrrm no to bo honest. I haven't really played that much with it. I was just flicking through vbullten.org and stumbled across this.

In that case, try this.... ;)
Create a new custom template named adv_portal_test with the following content into it....<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr><td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont">
<strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] $mods[title]</strong>
</span></td></tr><tr>
<td class="$getbgrow" width="100%"><center>

STATIC HTML CONTENT GOES HERE!

</center></td></tr></table><br /> Create a new page in CMPS with the following parameters: Page Title = Test / Page Identifier = test / Page Template = adv_portal_test. Make sure that the "Custom Page Content" is turned on! Save the page Goto to http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?page=test After you see the results play around with the properties of the page to turn on & off the modules that you may want included on the page.


Have fun. :D

This may sound like a silly questio, but I assume with the above, there is no linking with an external html file, the actual code is written into the adv_portal_test file?

Correct. The advantage to that method is that the HTML is presented inside of a 'module' to have the same look & feel as the rest of the page. The disadvantage is that to make changes to the HTML you'll need to modify the template instead of an stand-alone HTML file. :o

If you need to reference a stand-alone HTML file let me know and I have something else up my sleeve that may be of assistance in regards to vBa CMPS. :D

Is there any way to get the vBulletin search to pull in the "pages", so the search is more complete?

Goto to http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?page=test After you see the results play around with the properties of the page to turn on & off the modules that you may want included on the page.

Have fun. :D

That's weird: I can only access the custom page at http://www.yoursite.com//index.php?page=test (with a double slash). Why is that? All other links in vbadvanced work and show up perfectly?

HHHmm... it should work fine. :confused: Is the URL public to check out?

[Allen Mead]

KW802 it works fine! see link here

But i don't want the bulletin board border.

The template that works can be seen here

But I can't get it to call the html file, this is the code:

<?php

// GO TO FORUM DIR
chdir('./forum');

// STANDARD VBULLETIN STUFF
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'Articles_Main');
require_once('./global.php');

// GENERIC_SHELL VARS
$pagetitle = "Title of Page";
$HTML = ""; // PIECED TOGETHER IN SCRIPT

eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('./forum/Articles_Main.php') . '";');

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Meganman';

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('GENERIC_SHELL') . '");');

?>

Right, that's it, i still can't get it to work!!! I'll pay for someone to do this for me as long as it's not stupid money.
