Topic: [HOWTO] Creating blank page in PunBB

I'm linking to my blog

http://kushithemes.t15.org/blog/tutoria … -in-punbb/

Cause I'm not patient enough to transform it into BBcode tongue.

If any of my dropbox link fails with 404 error, change dl.dropbox.com/u/56038890/punbb/*.zip in address to 82283017.

Re: [HOWTO] Creating blank page in PunBB

I have a question, Suppose i create that page, i also add the page link to the menu.

So when someone opens the page, i want it to show in the menu that the page is opened. like selected. is that possible.

Re: [HOWTO] Creating blank page in PunBB

i also played with the title, so the title and page id are seperated, ex:

define('FORUM_ALLOW_INDEX', 1);
define('FORUM_PAGE', 'football-news-feed');
 
// Setup breadcrumbs
$forum_page['crumbs'] = array(
    array($forum_config['o_board_title'], forum_link($forum_url['index'])),
    'Football News Feed' // Set up your page title here
);

did i do it correct? does this affect anything else.

Re: [HOWTO] Creating blank page in PunBB

You have to create extension and in hook
fn_generate_navlinks_end
inject 

    $mylink = '<li id="navtutorial"'.((FORUM_PAGE == 'tutorial') ? ' class="isactive"' : '').'><a href="tutorial.php">Tutorial</a></li>';
    array_splice( $links, 5, 0, $mylink );

Where:

$mylink = '<li id="navtutorial"'.((FORUM_PAGE == 'tutorial') ? ' class="isactive"' : '').'><a href="tutorial.php">Tutorial</a></li>';

navtutorial - should be remembered if you wish to style this element later
tutorial - is FORUM_PAGE which you've declared in your custom page.
tutorial.php - is custom page address.
and

array_splice( $links, 5, 0, $mylink );

5 - link position


Note that the proper and more valid way is to edit /include/url/your-link-scheme/forum_urls.php
( eg. I'm editing /include/url/Default/forum_urls.php )
and add at the end another value

    'tutorial'                        =>     'tutorial.php'

(watch out for commas! )

Plus create language array in your extension, so the link could look like this:

    $mylink = '<li id="navtutorial"'.((FORUM_PAGE == 'tutorial') ? ' class="isactive"' : '').'><a href="'.forum_link($forum_url['tutorial']).'">'.$lang_array['mylink'].'</a></li>';


edit.
You're playing very well with title, this will also affect lastcrumb title.

If any of my dropbox link fails with 404 error, change dl.dropbox.com/u/56038890/punbb/*.zip in address to 82283017.

Re: [HOWTO] Creating blank page in PunBB

Ok that is might complicated, since i have no coding knowledge, i though there was some sort of easy code you put in the page and thats it lol. but its ok. big_smile.

Anyway thanks alot for the work you put in this. I also replaced some stuff of your code, here: 

<?php
/**
 * Display my custom page :-)
 *
 * @copyright (C) 2008-2012 PunBB, partially based on code (C) 2008-2009 FluxBB.org
 * @license http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html GPL version 2 or higher
 * @package PunBB
 */
 
if (!defined('FORUM_ROOT'))
    define('FORUM_ROOT', '../../../');
require FORUM_ROOT.'include/common.php';
 
define('FORUM_ALLOW_INDEX', 1);
define('FORUM_PAGE', 'football-formation-creator');
 
// Setup breadcrumbs
$forum_page['crumbs'] = array(
    array($forum_config['o_board_title'], forum_link($forum_url['index'])),
    'Football Formation Creator' // Set up your page title here
);
 
require FORUM_ROOT.'header.php';
 
// START SUBST - <!-- forum_main -->
ob_start();
 
?>    
<div class="main-head" style="margin-top: 1em">
        <h2 class="hn"><span>Football Formation Creator &mdash; This tool is brought to you by <a href="http://this11.com/">This11.com</a>.</span></h2>
    </div>        

    <div class="main-content main-frm">
<div style="padding: 15px;">

My page content.

</div>
    </div>
<?php
 
$tpl_temp = forum_trim(ob_get_contents());
$tpl_main = str_replace('<!-- forum_main -->', $tpl_temp, $tpl_main);
 
ob_end_clean();
// END SUBST - <!-- forum_main -->
 
require FORUM_ROOT.'footer.php';

I used main-frm instead of main-message cuz the last one has different margins or paddings for each side, where i added <div style="padding: 15px;"> so that each side has equal space.

since my page is located in /page/1/football-formation-creator/
i renamed the file to index.php.

so it serves as a whole link, http://www.myfootballcafe.com/page/2/fo … n-creator/

Incase someone makes an extension of custom pages in the future, that page/1/ will be keep the link same.

Re: [HOWTO] Creating blank page in PunBB

I've only showed the basis, the rest is sea of possibilities smile.

If you're using folder based redirect I would recommend to put your page in main catalog and instead edit
\include\url\Folder_based_(fancy)\rewrite_rules.php
Something like

    '^page[\/_-]([0-9]+)[\/_-]football-formation-creator[\/_-]'                                                                                                                =>  'football-formation-creator.php'
If any of my dropbox link fails with 404 error, change dl.dropbox.com/u/56038890/punbb/*.zip in address to 82283017.

Re: [HOWTO] Creating blank page in PunBB

    '^(pages)[\/_-]1[\/_-](football)[\/_-](news)[\/_-](feed)[\/_-]$'                                                                                            =>    'pages/football-news-feed.php'

Remember to put \ before special characters, such as / . - smile

Re: [HOWTO] Creating blank page in PunBB

This may Be something with commas. Last value shouldn't have one at the end.

Re: [HOWTO] Creating blank page in PunBB

Ho to give permission to all users for the search. What to change on the code:

if ($forum_user['g_read_board'] == '0' || $forum_user['is_guest'] || ($forum_user['g_id'] != '1' && $forum_user['g_id'] != '4'))
    message($lang_common['No view']);

Just delete this part

if ($forum_user['g_read_board'] == '0' || $forum_user['is_guest'] || ($forum_user['g_id'] != '1' && $forum_user['g_id'] != '4'))
    message($lang_common['No view']);

So that message No view wouldn't show anyhow.

You mean in forum search or Google ( etc ) search? Second one:

define('FORUM_ALLOW_INDEX', 1);
