Custom pages for your SMF forum

in Tutorials on 27 Feb 2010

Create pages for your smf forum.   Easy as pie.

Create a php file called.... whatever.php  (change the name to your liking) as long it ends with .php

Insert this code in wharever.php:
<?php require("/home/*******/public_html/SSI.php"); 
$context['page_title_html_safe'] = 'title of the page goes here';
template_header(); 
echo
'

Your content goes here'
;

template_footer(); ?>


-Replace line 1 with your own path to your forum.  Mine is omitted.

-Page can be viewed at yoursite.com/whatever.php   or  yoursite.com/forum/whatever.php  depending on where your SMF is installed.

Whats up hoodie....

This has nothing to do with databases.   Did you add the correct forum path in line 1?
#2
Yeah. The path is correct. I double checked it. I tried it on another forum as well.

I just created a test page with the code in reply #1

Make sure your new page resides where ssi.php is.   In your SMF root.

Ok, that's weird. I just recopied the code and uploaded it again and now it works. Don't know what went wrong the first time.

Sweet.    Now you can add your own content.   You can make as many as you want and add links to the nav bar. ;)

For 1.1.x series, this is the title code...

In the code in reply #1....

Replace:
$context['page_title_html_safe'] = 'title of the page goes here';

with:

$context['page_title']= 'title of the page goes here';

Make sure the full path to your forum is correct in line 2.
require("/home/*******/public_html/SSI.php");
