In UBB.Threads 7, a /scripts/sample.inc.php file is provided to help you create your own custom pages as needed.

For example, you can duplicate the /scripts/sample.inc.php file to /scripts/mypage.inc.php Then create a /templates/default/mypage.tpl template file with the HTML for your page.

Then visiting ubbthreads.php?ubb=mypage will load that page.


This works great for my custom pages.

Code:
// Set this variable to whatever scriptname.inc.php file you have included in /scripts
 $_REQUEST['ubb'] = "mypage";

// Set the full path to your ubbthreads.php file
include("/home/threads/public_html/ubb7/ubbthreads.php");
?>


When I follow the instructions for that, it works BUT when visiting the generated page it shows me as logged out. What do I need to add?

It was much easier on the old 6.4 boards to do everything in 1 file. Is there anyway to do that now?

How can I check to see if a user belongs to a specific group to display certain data to?

Also, I want to open a custom database table to display data from if the user belongs to a certain group.

For me this was easy with the old wrapper. Where do I put my php code for this?

Here is just a little sample of the code.

Code:
if ( (ereg ("-8-", $groups)) || (ereg ("-15-",$groups)) ) {
        echo "<br>(Member access)";
} else {
        echo "<br>Public access";
}
        echo "</center><p>";

        // Get all the info
        $wowConnect = mysql_connect($config['dbserver'], $config['dbuser'], $config['dbpass']);
        if ($wowConnect){
           mysql_select_db($config['dbname'], $wowConnect);
        }


thanks in advance for any help.

could someone explain to me in layman's terms what this all allows me to do? I think this is an answer i've been looking for, but i'm a little confused about it, and would like to clear it up before I start to really dig into it and get moving on it.

Thanks in advance!

essentially it allows you to have one or more pages with your own content (within the template page) on your site, whilst still retaining the header, footer, sidebars, breadcrumbs etc.

We have around 100 other pages on our site.

It can be used for anything.

Of course it is simple to add further scripting into those pages.

and the pages are built into UBB? Or do I need to setup an external HTML site and link it to my UBB somehow?

Also, is this something i do through the admin panel? Or will the owner of the forums need to do it?

Thanks for responding wink

The page that the user sees is external to UBB (and can be anywhere on your domain) - however you will need to upload the script page to the scripts folder and the template page to the templates/default folder.

For the various scripts and template pages I preceded these files with ff for FansFocus.Com so that I can easily find them within the folders. They do not need to be the same name as the page the user sees on your site.

Just follow the examples shown above and you should be fine smile

Would it be possible to have this generic page configured such that the left and/or right columns could be on or off? Or does the user's preference setting prevent this?

It would follow what you have set in the control panel.

I have tried unsuccessfully to make a generic page (inside of the forum directory). While there is a sample.inc.php script, there is no sample.tpl file I can use, and as a complete newbie with no real desire to learn php, I have no idea where to start.

Is this documented somewhere? I guess what I need is a step by step instruction on how to make generic pages (for dummies) - which I will use for static link collections, about-texts etc.

I am not trying to make anything complicated, just a static custom page with some plain html content.

While fiddling around with this, I got the following error when trying to view my page:

page_about_gpc not found!

Any help/pointers or links to instructions would be highly appreciated.

well, all the tpl file is would be your html code... you can use smarty code in it, which examples would be every .tpl file in the directory.
