2. templates
make w/e templates you want via your admin cp they dont even have to be default vb templates as long as its html its good

[KingYes]

tnx.
but, if my board is blocked for ghost, how is create new page for ghost only with VB setting?

[garg]

If I use ordinary SQL queries to pull data from the VB database then I can put them directly in that page?

yes.

you don't have to use "ordinary SQL queries" btw:
note that when you have this line:

PHP Code:

require_once('./global.php'); 


it should also give you axx to the global $vbulletin (on 3.5.x/3.6.x) or $vb (in 3.0.x), so you can still run queries using $vbulletin->db->query_xxxx (for 3.5.x/3.6.x)

[garg]

Ah okay thank you very much. I've been looking at examples of such queries now and I hope to create a unique looking front page for my forums

Excuse me but I didn't understand a lot :embarrass

For example I'd like to run the vB calendar in an external page, what am I supposed to do?


Thank you all

[GameDuels]

I too am interested in an extension for this tutorial. I'm currently trying to get stats to show on a page outside the forum directory with parts from vBAdvanced, but the top poster and # of members doesn't show (at all)...

Anyway, a continuation from this tutorial would be greatly appreciated!:classic:
