MOD Validated/Released

This is a great help for anyone who wants to add new pages to their board but don't know how.

Can I ask what this blank page could be used for & how it would be accessed?
Do you have a demo at all?

A demo would be nice...I was going to use the blank page as a guild listing for my server...I was hoping the tables to match the theme.

It just tells you how to add a new page to your forum.

You can see how it works by going to my site:

http://www.saskmetal.com/phpbb

The menu at the top has a few entires that use the blank page:

CONTACT
MERCHANDISE
PARTNERS
RADIO

You can put ANYTHING you want in your TPL file and have it displayed this way. And since it uses sessions from phpbb you can track where people are on your forums.

I also recommend using the Extreme Styles MOD so you can use php in tpl files, as it makes it easier to use php on your new pages.

I used this while it was still in BETA. Worked great then. I am sure it is still working great.

Thanks again psychowolfman. I have many pages at my forum using this mod. http://dfsquad.gnet-rpg.net

I am glad that I could provide something useful. I don't know the first thing about php or programming in general (Except LISP, if anyone is familiar) I just hacked this together out of 10 different posts on this board and others that explain how to add a page. I figured it would be useful if it were an official MOD. (As I know there are lots of people that would use it)

If you read the notes in the MOD distribution I would like to add/remove pages through an admin interface. I do not, nor will I ever, know how to do this without a lot of reading and learning first. If someone wants to take my stuff and write an admin interface, that would be super.

Damn, this turned into a speech...haha...catch you all later!

Is this what you were thinking about for the ACP?

All the ACP would really have to do is:

1.)create the files template.php in phpbb root and template.tpl in your current templates directory.

2.)add required lines into files for sessions to work

3.)edit the line in template.php to point to template.tpl

Then, the user would have to edit the template.tpl file to include the content they wanted as well as add a link to the new template.php file someplace on the site. Optionally, there could be a text area for user input that would accept HTML and PHP (If they have extreme styles MOD installed)

So basically, the admin panel would ask you for the page name (To be put in the line:

Code: Select all

// set page title 
$page_title = 'TEMPLATE';

in the template.php file

the filename to call the template.php and template.tpl files (And to place into the line:

Code: Select all

// assign template 
$template->set_filenames(array( 
        'body' => 'template.tpl') 
); 

$template->pparse('body');

in template.php

If you get what I'm saying. Sometimes I don't even understand what I'm talking about.

I am not sure what an "ACP" is, but I am working on an ADMIN ADD NEW BLANK PAGE MOD.

I need help in how to determine if a user is an ADMIN or not?

More details at:

BTW: GREAT MOD.

ACP = Admin Control Panel

And I've looked at your development...looks interesting..I will have to keep an eye on that.

now that ive installed the mod, how do i add the menus (overallheader/footer) ? so that if i edit the overallheader its the same over all the pages, like the forum. not just a direct copy of the code.... ?

thanks again

pretty much just carry the theme over all the pages...

(makes more sense than all that dribble in the last post)
