Adding a custom page manually for Smf 2.0. rc 3

I changed the ban part spottedhog, thank you for the reminder

Yoshi2889, there is no need to install a mod for this because if the edits are done properly there will be no errors at all

I mean if a mod modifies Subs.php it will be all fine when you get errors.

How i can do, that this new page is only visible for logged members, not guests ?

[spottedhog]

Enclose the page content with:

Code Select Expand

global $context;
if($context['user']['is_logged'])
{

// page content here

} else {
ssi_login();
}

Of course you can replace ssi_login(); with whatever you wish to use there.

[Matthew K.]

If the page uses a Source File, it is better to do it in the source file, rather than the template.

Enclose the page content with:

Code Select Expand

global $context;
if($context['user']['is_logged'])
{

// page content here

} else {
ssi_login();
}

Of course you can replace ssi_login(); with whatever you wish to use there.

If you are using the codes from my original post find this code:

Code Select Expand

//Here is the content, such as the title and the body message of the custom page.

echo'
         <span class="clear upperframe"><span></span></span>
         <div class="roundframe"><div class="innerframe">';
         echo'
         <div class="cat_bar">
         <h3 class="catbg">Hello everyone</h3>
         </div>
          <p>This is a custom page example. pretty cool, huh.</p>';
         echo'
         </div></div>
        <span class="lowerframe"><span></span></span>';   




And change it to this code

Code Select Expand

global $context;
if($context['user']['is_guest']){
echo
fatal_lang_error('no_access', false);
}else{
echo'
         <span class="clear upperframe"><span></span></span>
         <div class="roundframe"><div class="innerframe">';
         echo'
         <div class="cat_bar">
         <h3 class="catbg">Hello everyone</h3>
         </div>
          <p>This is a custom page example. pretty cool, huh.</p>';
         echo'
         </div></div>
        <span class="lowerframe"><span></span></span>';   
}

Another easy way you can accomplish a "Custom Page" is by creating a custom action...very simple with no SSI necessary.

Yes, that mod works well! Although for some reason it doesn't work on my end the add action button doesn't work as well a sub-action link.

I need permission or membergroup to show different content to guest, regularmember and specialmember

I use this

Code Select Expand

global $context;
if($context['user']['is_guest']){
      echo 'this is for guest';

}else{
      echo 'this is for regular member';   
      // I have to do a if here to show a content for special member
     if (What to put here){
            echo 'this is for special member';
     }
}

[yfleury]

I find it myself.... look like this

Code Select Expand


global $context;
if($context['user']['is_guest']){

      echo 'this is for guest';

}elseif(in_array(1,$user_info["groups"] )==1) { // number 1 = admin

       echo 'this is for admin';

}elseif(in_array(9,$user_info["groups"] )==9){ // number 9 = special member

echo 'this is for special member';

}else{

        echo 'this is for other member';

}


To find what number for different member groups, look at smf_membergroups table in the database  and when you find a member groups you want, take the number in id_group.

how do i add the page i made to the menu bar , which got Home , Forums and others?

[NanoSector]

This forum just knows what I want to read...then my SMFTools topic pops up as unread when I want to review it and then this topic pops up when I need it

Hi,

Created a custom page with the code above and it works perfect.

But when I installed the SimpleAds mod to dislplay ads on my site I get this error message on my static page:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function template_ad_position() in /public_html/Sources/Load.php(2156) : eval()'d code  on line 228

This message only appears on the static page. All others work perfect.

Anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks!

[spottedhog]

You will need to "include" the file that contains the SimpleAds function.

Into the static page?

And how?

[spottedhog]

I just took a look at that mod and here is what I see:

require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-Ads.php');

Where $sourcedir = path to the Sources folder.

[DutchJam]

I just took a look at that mod and here is what I see:

require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-Ads.php');
   load_ads();

Where $sourcedir = path to the Sources folder.

Oh, I get it. I added the code to the static page and now it works again.

But I have to do this to every static page of course.

Tnx Spottedhog, problem solved!

[spottedhog]

  OK, consider this...  using the same principle, you can now use any of the SMF functions on your static pages.  Keep in mind that SSI.php only pulls in variables and the functions within that file. Soooo, you can find functions you may need in one of the Sources files, require/include it, and then be able to use the function.

This is the base premise for nearly all PHP coded software.

I've recently got the require(./ssi.php) thing work so it points to the one in my forum folder...no more copying files for me!

For 000webhost members:
require("/home/ayouraccountnumber/public_html/forum/SSI.php");
Where youraccountnumber is your number like 1234567, and forum/ is your directory where SSI.php is located.

Place that in all of your pages and it works fine

[spottedhog]

A better way is to view your ssi_examples.php file in your web browser and use the path shown in the "Include Code" section (relative to where your static page is installed)
