Static Page Mod - Revised

thecooldude · May 05, 2006, 05:35:11 PM

Hi; i wanted to have the Static Page Mod for my SMF RC2 Forum but i've found out its not compatable with RC2. It was last updated on July 6th and i cant contact the guy to update his mod. So i'm requesting if anyone here can bring this mod back to life so it can work with RC2. Thanks

I found this way very easy.

Create a new php file in the board directory and name is what you want.

E.G downloads.php.

Now put this code into the file

Code Select


<?php
ob_start();
$ssi_layers = array('main');
require_once('SSI.php');
echo'<table width="100%" class="bordercolor" height="300">
<tr>
<td class="windowbg" width="100%" height="100%" valign="top">
<center>
<font size="+2"></font>
</center></br>';
echo doUBBC(file_get_contents('down.php'));
echo'</td></tr></table>';
ssi_shutdown();

?>

and upload. Once that's done just edit where it says down.php to what you want and then create that file. Fill that file with anything and it will be shown.

Example:

yeh, thats a good way of doing it to; but i still would like this mod to come back.

It is easier to do it the way listed above then have to right a mod to do it for you

thecooldude · May 05, 2006, 06:22:38 PM

True. OK I done it - but how (or where) do i change the title?

L.G.S · May 05, 2006, 06:32:33 PM

In the file with the content use html I presume

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Yes, this code should work fine, enter the title between the title anchors

no, that won't work, you have to set $context['page_title']
I submitted a mod to do this a few days ago, here: http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=331 (not approved yet)

preety much does the same thing as the static page mod, with the exception of:
-there are 3 page types: PHP, BBC and HTML
-you acces the page by going to http://www.yoursite.com/forum/index.php?action=pagename instead of http://www.yoursite.com/forum/index.php?action=static&staticpage=X
-you can specify a page title
-you can have unlimited pages, not just 10

that's because it's not apporved yet, it has to be apporved before you download.

L.G.S · May 05, 2006, 07:07:07 PM

So why do they say

#Please do not use this mod unless you are completely sure of the consequences!#

If they won't even give us the chance to mess our forums up

You could upload it to you server for now and link to it

L.G.S · May 05, 2006, 07:28:12 PM

Good idea

Skipdawg · May 05, 2006, 08:27:48 PM

That sounds like it could be a rather useful mod down the road. I'll have to keep an eye on that.
