function print_gtcustom_newthreads() 
{ 
    global $vbulletin, $vbphrase, $threadrows; 
     
    $threadarray = $vbulletin->db->query_read(" 
        SELECT thread.*, icon.title AS icontitle, icon.iconpath 
        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread 
        LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "icon AS icon ON(icon.iconid = thread.iconid) 
        WHERE  
            thread.visible = 1 
        ORDER BY dateline DESC  
        LIMIT 15"); 
     
    while($thread = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($threadarray)) 
    { 
        if ($thread['iconid']) 
        { 
            // get icon from icon cache 
            $thread['iconpath'] = $vbulletin->iconcache["$thread[iconid]"]['iconpath']; 
            $thread['icontitle'] = $vbulletin->iconcache["$thread[iconid]"]['title']; 
        } 

        if ($thread['pollid'] != 0) 
        { 
            // show poll icon 
            $show['threadicon'] = true; 
            $thread['iconpath'] = "$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/poll_posticon.gif"; 
            $thread['icontitle'] = $vbphrase['poll']; 
        } 
        else if ($thread['iconpath']) 
        { 
            // show specified icon 
            $show['threadicon'] = true; 
        } 
        else if (!empty($vbulletin->options['showdeficon'])) 
        { 
            // show default icon

            $thread['icontitle'] = '';

Create Custom Pages

 GO-TOTAL LLC had everyone in mind when GTCustom Pages was created.
Custom pages can now be created with little or no coding knowledge.

If you know how to create a phrase within ADMINCP / LANGUAGES then you can create custom pages with ease.

First Download and install product and...

Let's Create A Custom "About Us" Page:
  1. In your favorite editor, create the contents of the page. HTML is allowed.
  2. When you finish with the contents of the page, create 2 phrases (an optional subtitle is available).
    • "gtcustom_about_header" - title of custom page
    • "gtcustom_about" - contents of custom page
    • "gtcustom_about_subtitle" -optional subtitle for custom page; the subtitle (table cell) will only display if it's created
  3. That's it! Now, go visit the page via URL: $vboptions[bburl]/goto.php?section=about
NOTE:
- Replace bold text with your choice of name. Follow naming convention as described above or the pages will not display.
- All 'xxx_header' phrases should be added to GLOBAL phrase group. (Needs to be global to display in navbar, etc.)
- All other phrases are required to be in GTCustom Pages phrase group. (If it's not here, cutom page will not work.)
Tips:
  • URL looks good with mod-rewrite enabled.
    For example, $vboptions[bburl]/goto/section/about, $vboptions[bburl]/goto_section_about.html
  • Use short names to prevent mod-rewrite (SEO links) problems. (It really depends on your setup. For example, some SEO scripts will convert every '_' into '/'. Which will prevent custom page from being displayed.)
    • Examples:
      • about - (GOOD)
      • terms - (GOOD)
      • privacy - (GOOD)
      • about_us - (BAD)
      • terms_of_service - (BAD)
      • privacy_policy - (BAD)
Examples Included With Product:
  • About Us Custom Page - phrases: gtcustom_about_header, gtcustom_about
    URL: $vboptions[bburl]/goto.php?section=about
  • Terms Of Service Custom Page - phrases: gtcustom_terms_header, gtcustom_terms
    URL: $vboptions[bburl]/goto.php?section=terms
    Additional options available in Admincp/ vBulletin Options/ Site Name / URL / Contact Details to create Terms of Service
  • Privacy Policy Custom Page- phrases: gtcustom_privacy_header, gtcustom_privacy
    URL: $vboptions[bburl]/goto.php?section=privacy
