Using vB templates outside the forum

[DoST]

Can I create a new template in vB and use it on a page outside the forum? Please tell me how if the answer is yes.

Thanks

you can, but you'll have to program to do it. Most importantly, you need a function to fetch and display the template. Perhaps browsing trough the vB source code will give you a good idea.

either require the global.php file in your new script, or you can try using the gettemplate function (look for this:

function gettemplate($templatename,$escape=1) {
  // gets a template from the db or from the local cache


...

in global.php) and make sure you set up all the variables it uses (most of them are in your config file).
