How To Add New Pages To phpBB XS

Hello,
I need to convert some modules previously made by me for MkPortal. Our old portal before XS.

I studied some php pages in root like forum.php, kb.php, etc. but I didn't undersand very well the procedure to use on XS.

I've seen that the db connections is stored in the variable and class $db, so I need to write

Code: [Download] [Hide]

global $db;

In this modules I need to look into user tables if user filled some field, so, if filled the user will be able to see and ordering form.
Some fields are pre-filled reading the content of user table, and some field are left to be filled by the user.
After some JS field validation the user will be able to send the form to another page that adds a record with some fields (the post data previously filled by the user) in a custom table.

It's very simple but I don't know what I have to implement to have my script to work into XS framework sharing its informations and how to draw the final output, to show the MAIN LINK column.
To send queries to the db I found this methods of class $db:

Code: [Download] [Hide]

$query = $db->sql_query("SELECT * FROM table;");
 
while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($query)) {
 
       //my script
 
}

It will be very useful a small guide to make our own modules.

Thanks!

Re: How Make Our Own Modules/pages

here a sample php page using the phpbb functions:

Code: [Download] [Hide]

<?php
 
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
 
$phpbb_root_path = './';
 
include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');
 
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.'.$phpEx);
 
//
 
// Start session management
 
//
 
$userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, PAGE_VIEWMEMBERS);
 
init_userprefs($userdata);
 
//
 
// End session management
 
//
 
$sql = "SELECT column_name FROM " . CONSTANT_WITH_THE_NAME_OF_THE_TABLE . " WHERE column_operator_value";
 
//the constants with table names are stored in includes/constants.php
 
//i.e.: " . POSTS_TABLE . "
 
if( !($result = $db->sql_query($sql)) )
 
//if the query fails it shows the error
 
{
 
   message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, 'Could not query posts table', '', __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);
 
} 
 
//otherwise
 
$result = $db->sql_query($sql);
 
//YOUR SCRPT ($var = ... $var1 = ...)
 
//this frees the used and useless resources
 
$db->sql_freeresult($result);
 
//
 
// Generate page
 
//
 
$page_title = "Page Title";
 
include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/page_header.'.$phpEx);
 
//here we set the tpl file name where parsing the page
 
$template->set_filenames(array(
 
    'body' => 'new_page.tpl')
 
);
 
$template->assign_vars(array(
 
    'VAR' => $var,
 
        'VAR1' => $var1
 
    ));
 
$template->pparse('body');
 
include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/page_tail.'.$phpEx);
 
?>

then we must create the tpl file (new_page.tpl in this case)

Code: [Download] [Hide]

<table width="100%" border="0" class="forumline">
 
<tr>
 
<td><b>{VAR}</b></td>
 
</tr>
 
</table>

Re: How Make Our Own Modules/Pages

If you had looked into contrib folder... you should have found this: contrib/empty_page/!

This is just a "ready to use" empty page for phpBB XS...

Using this in your template:

What do you mean by this?

You can just assign to the page the name you wish... no need to use a function to rename it!

P.S.: topic moved to Docs.

Yes ! what I mean was to have a new page with the url friendly, for example not www . mywebsite . com/newpage.php but www . mywebsite . com/newpage.html ... but thinking I have understood that it's completely useless !!! as MG typed.

I have understood about the urls friendly (rewritten) that are important for search engine bots only if I have a "complex" address like www. ... .com/newpage.php?mode=23&.....

It's right ?

I think that the XS' unauthorized access will be good! I want to allow only usergroup "utenti". The related group_id can be found in phpbb_groups table? Thanks
