Hello guys, need some help with custom page here. The navigation bar seems to no get displayed. Here's the code in placeholder.php
<?php
/**
* MyBB 1.8
* Copyright 2014 MyBB Group, All Rights Reserved
*
* Website: http://www.mybb.com
* License: http://www.mybb.com/about/license
*
*/
define("IN_MYBB", 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'placeholder.php');
require_once "./global.php";
add_breadcrumb("Placeholder", "placeholder.php");
global_header();
echo "This is a placeholder page";
global_footer();
function global_header()
{
global $headerinclude, $context, $header, $mybb;
echo
'
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xml:lang="en" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
';
echo'
<title>'.$mybb->settings['bbname'].' - Placeholder</title>
';
echo $headerinclude;
echo
'
</head>
<body>
';
echo $header;
}
function global_footer()
{
global $footer;
echo $footer;
echo
'
</body>
</html>
';
}
?>
Hello, anyone? I am trying to make a raw custom page because if i use the other method (the one with template), I won't be able to execute PHP codes. What I'm trying to achieve is to retrieve data from mysql database and make a table in the custom page.
This is a dirty quick fix that you might be interested in:
<?php
define("IN_MYBB", 1);
require "./global.php"; // (1)
// Edit $message to change the message!
$message = ' html here';
error($message, 'Title here');
?>
That won't do for me. Any other way to fix this? How did the navigation bar not get displayed in the first place? I thought the function add_breadcrumb should get the job done.
One other thing the function multipage doesn't work even with correct parameters supplied. Could you reproduce this?
Try
<?php
/**
* MyBB 1.8
* Copyright 2014 MyBB Group, All Rights Reserved
*
* Website: http://www.mybb.com
* License: http://www.mybb.com/about/license
*
*/
define("IN_MYBB", 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'placeholder.php');
require_once "global.php";
global $headerinclude, $header, $theme, $footer;
add_breadcrumb("Placeholder", "placeholder.php");
global_header();
echo "This is a placeholder page";
global_footer();
function global_header()
{
global $headerinclude, $context, $header, $mybb;
echo
'
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xml:lang="en" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
';
echo'
<title>'.$mybb->settings['bbname'].' - Placeholder</title>
';
echo $headerinclude;
echo
'
</head>
<body>
';
echo $header;
}
function global_footer()
{
global $footer;
echo $footer;
echo
'
</body>
</html>
';
}
?>
@Akay your answer doesn't work; you need to parse the page.
If you go to the source code, you'll find "<navigation>". Your page isn't parsed.
In inc/functions.php you'll find
/**
* Parses the contents of a page before outputting it.
*
* @param string The contents of the page.
* @return string The parsed page.
*/
function parse_page($contents)
{
global $lang, $theme, $mybb, $htmldoctype, $archive_url, $error_handler;
$contents = str_replace('<navigation>', build_breadcrumb(), $contents);
$contents = str_replace('<archive_url>', $archive_url, $contents);
This is what you should use.
Instead of echoing everything, put the html in a variable. Then set that variable equal to parse_page($html). Echo this variable and it'll work.
@KevinVR, what you said totally makes sense and explain what really happen. However I can't put myself into doing what you asked. Could you point me in the right direction here? Use this more cleaned up placeholder.php:
<?php
define("IN_MYBB", 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'placeholder.php');
require_once "./global.php";
do_header();
echo "this is a placeholder page";
do_footer();
function do_header()
{
global $headerinclude, $context, $header, $mybb;
echo '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xml:lang="en" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head>';
echo'<title>'.$mybb->settings['bbname'].' - Placeholder</title>';
echo $headerinclude;
echo '</head><body>';
echo $header;
}
function do_footer()
{
global $footer;
echo $footer;
echo '</body></html>';
}
?>
EDIT: Actually, the pagination function
multipage does work. I just forgotten to echo it. Now, this navigation bar is my only problem.
This is what I came up with:
<?php
define("IN_MYBB", 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'placeholder.php');
require_once "./global.php";
do_header();
$my_page = '<navigation>';
output_page($my_page);
echo "this is a placeholder page";
do_footer();
function do_header()
{
global $headerinclude, $context, $header, $mybb;
echo '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xml:lang="en" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head>';
echo'<title>'.$mybb->settings['bbname'].' - Placeholder</title>';
echo $headerinclude;
echo '</head><body>';
echo $header;
}
function do_footer()
{
echo '<br />';
global $footer;
echo $footer;
echo '</body></html>';
}
?>
The result was the navigation appear inside container div - because i output it after $header. $header already comes with <div class="container">, so there's no way for me to output the $my_page var before it. Is is possible to divide $header into different separate sections, like header_welcomeback_somethig $header_searchbox?

You don't understand what you need to do. The <navigation> is there automatically, from the header. If you use your first PHP code, open the file in chrome and show the page source. You will find <navigation> inside of it. But it should be a breadcrumbs.
Now the parse_page($entire_page_in_html); will take care of replacing <navigation> with the breadcrumbs.
What do you have to do?
Do not echo anything at all -- put every single thing inside a variable called $entire_page_in_html (for example).
Then after that is done =>
echo parse_page($entire_page_in_html);
I will post what I think is a solution (--I quickly fixed it, I didn't test it--) but you should try to make it for yourself, to learn from it.
It's possible there's still some small error inside, but have a try:
define("IN_MYBB", 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'placeholder.php');
require_once "./global.php";
add_breadcrumb("Placeholder", "placeholder.php");
$html = '';
$html .= global_header();
$html .= "This is a placeholder page";
$html .= global_footer();
echo parse_page($html);
function global_header()
{
global $headerinclude, $context, $header, $mybb;
return '
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xml:lang="en" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
' . '
<title>'.$mybb->settings['bbname'].' - Placeholder</title>
'. $headerinclude .
'
</head>
<body>
'. $header;
}
function global_footer()
{
global $footer;
return $footer .
'
</body>
</html>
';
}
just tested-works.
Thank you. I see what you mean now. This is the final code:
<?php
define("IN_MYBB", 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'placeholder.php');
require_once "./global.php";
add_breadcrumb("Placeholder", "placeholder.php");
do_header();
echo 'This is a placeholder page';
do_footer();
function do_header()
{
global $headerinclude, $context, $header, $mybb;
echo '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xml:lang="en" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>'.$mybb->settings['bbname'].' - Placeholder</title>
'.$headerinclude.'
</head>
<body>';
global $header;
echo parse_page($header);
}
function do_footer()
{
global $footer;
echo $footer;
echo '</body>
</html>';
}
?>
Thank you, KevinVR and the rest.
