Vbulletin - New Pages? Possible?

Is it possible with VBulletin to create new pages? I want to create one for advertisers to get info and buy ads on. Is this possible? If not can someone custom build it into the system?

 

Yes you can create new pages have a search on vbulletin you should find something.

 

How? lol that was more or less the question, I know it can be done

 

Yes, it's possible. I am currently using this mod: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=103076 on my vb 3.6.7. that does exactly what you're looking for.

 

I will check it out! Thanks dude

 

use vbadvanced, it gives you options to add new pages.
you can get vbadvanced here at : www.vbadvanced.com

 

Yah, I thought of that, but I want the homepage to still be the forums.

 

[How to] Add custompages to your forum - vBulletin.org Forum


That should do exactly what you are wanting, and it does not use any hacks, or template changes... you just have to be able to follow it's instructions

I've added a few to my forums, and it took a try or two, but its really easy once you get the hang of it.

 

I need html friendly pages Im afraid.

 

How To Add Drop Down Menus To Your Navbar - vBulletin.org Forum

Then just make them HTML pages, and link them through the navbar?

But they will not match as well as using the previous method.

 

You can still use the forums as the home page and use vBAdvanced. vBA defaults to using cmps_index.php as the script's "home page" so it can reside in the same directory (root) as the forums and the forums will be the default home page.

You can adjust the templates for the navbar and footer to include any new pages you design (whether using vBA to keep the same templated look and feel or not).

 

Not html friendly though is it?

 

It's written in HTML if that's what you mean.

If you are referring to the URL not having some page.php?=some_random_name then you may be limited to just making the pages yourself then linking to them some how.

If you are talking about just giving information to potential advertisers, then I'm pretty sure they won't mind all that much having the dynamic url, as that'll likely be where their ads are placed.

The only real way I know of it get SEO friendly URLs within the forum setting would be to install vBSEO or the ZOINTS rewrite that does the same thing.

 

yeah I have had zoints, slows stuff down.

 

I have had no problems getting vBA pages indexed and ranked in the SERPs.

 

There is also the Forum Seperation hack. This gives you new pages as well. I use it and its very nice.

 

this an example:
paste this code any.php

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('GET_EDIT_TEMPLATES', true);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'newpage');
$phrasegroups = array();
$specialtemplates = array();
$globaltemplates = array();
$actiontemplates = array();
require_once('./global.php');
        $navbits = array();
        $navbits[''] = 'Disclaimer And Regulations';
        $navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
        eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
        eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('Disclaimer And Regulations') . '");');
?>

Code (markup):

after login yourdomain/forum/admin or admin

Then Template after u can see Extra Page

type what ever u like then save it .

after link on your nav bar
