just a lil comment... in the newpage.php file, if you want a variable for the navbar title and the template name, you can create 2 new vars and use the $_GET['var1'], $_GET['var2'] and then use the newly created variable in them... like:


$variablething = $_GET['var1'];
$variablethink = $_GET['var2'];

fetch_template('xxxxx')
into
fetch_template($variablething)

$navbits[''] = 'New vBulletin Page';
into
$navbits[''] = $variablethink

while the url is newpage.php?var1=templatename&var2=navbartitle

Nice hack Livewire I'm using it,
but I have some problems with it. I use this code:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

To check in global.php if a user is logged in. It works fine, I can login and it doesn't ask anymore. But when I click on a url to the newpage it pop's up the login box again :S I want it to keep the user logged in. Is this possible?

Is the new page (the .php file) in the same directory as global.php?

Yes,
I found the problem but don't know how to solve.
My board is in a frameset because of some service for the domain. In this frameset the login info doesn't arrive @ a new page. Except for real vb pages. Even if I pass s=session****here.
It has to do something with the frameset but how to fix it :confused:

Hi Livewire, question

This looks alot like the simplepage hack over at vbulletintemplates

but the inner workings of the file itself is a little different.

Anyway, I am using the simplae page version on my site, but for some reason within the page the vbulletin menusystem does not work

Notice here, and the dropdown menus dont work
