Custom Donations Page?

DaveTomneyUK · #1 10-01-2008, 10:23 AM

Hi,

I am wonting to make a custom donations.html / php page so it includes the style thats using by vBulletin but am not sure what I would need to include in the PHP code.

Could someone tell me what I would need to add?

PS - I am not sure if this as been added to the right section, sorry if it's in the wrong place.

Very easy.

Create a vBulletin template named: custom_Donations (Note the capitlization, to make the vB breadcrumbs look better)

Put your content in it like:

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
 <!-- no cache headers -->
 <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
 <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
 <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
 <!-- end no cache headers -->
 $headinclude
 <title>Donations</title>
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar
 
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
  <tr>
   <td class="tcat" align="center">
    Donations
   </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td class="alt2">
 
 
PUT YOUR CONTENT HERE
 
 </td>
  </tr>
 </table>
$footer
</body>
</html>

Add a CRR to your vBSEO Control panel like this:

Code:

'^misc\.php\?do=page&template=Donations' => 'donations.html'

The page will show up when you browse to www.yoursite.com/donations.html (or www.yoursite.com/forum/donations.html, etc, depending on where vBulletin is located on your site.)

Where do I goto to make a new template? is it Styles & Templates?

Keith Cohen · #4 10-01-2008, 12:09 PM

Yes, in all styles, or if you have them set up as all children under one parent style, you just need to create in your parent style.

I tried going to this : Styles Manager then adding Add new Template but its showing a blank page here : http://chatfreaks.net/vbtest/donations.html

Keith Cohen · #6 10-01-2008, 12:22 PM

I can't see that page because it's protected by web security, but try going to:

http://chatfreaks.net/vbtest/misc.ph...late=Donations

If that doesn't work, then you made a mistake in the template, template naming, or didn't create it in the correct style, etc.

DaveTomneyUK · #7 10-01-2008, 12:28 PM

if I goto there it takes me to the donations.html page but its blank. Did I add the right contents to the code?

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
 <!-- no cache headers -->
 <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
 <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
 <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
 <!-- end no cache headers -->
 $headinclude
 <title>Donations</title>
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar
 
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
  <tr>
   <td class="tcat" align="center">
    Donatioins
   </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td class="alt2">
  
<center>
   <iframe src="Google" width="80%" height="400"></iframe>
</center>
 
 </td>
  </tr>
 </table>
$footer
</body>
</html>

It's COMPELTELY blank?

Also, remove the CRR from vBSEO for now, until you get it working. Once it works with the other URL I referenced, then you can go in an rewrite it.

DaveTomneyUK · #9 10-01-2008, 12:36 PM

Still getting a blank page, I have taken of the web security so you can have a look on both the pages.

1. http://chatfreaks.net/vbtest/misc.ph...late=Donations
2. http://chatfreaks.net/vbtest/donations.html

PS - Want me to send the login info so you can goto the admincp and check if its right?

Keith Cohen · #10 10-01-2008, 12:39 PM

And you named the template "custom_donations", correct?

Which style did you create it in? Default or Applied?

DaveTomneyUK · #11 10-01-2008, 12:40 PM

Dont know I think I put it in both as its showing in both. But its called "custom_donations" in both.

Keith Cohen · #12 10-01-2008, 12:44 PM

Ok, I see the problem. It was my mistake, not yours. Delete the template and recreate it as "custom_Donations" (Capital D). That will work, and it will make it show as "Donations" in the vB breadcrumbs. I was thinking the template name had to be in all lowercase.

I'll update my first reply.
