Get $specialtemplates via plugins?

[Milad]

Hi I'm coding a hack that appears in everypage and using datastore table.

I cann't get the serialized data via plugins.

it doesn't seem to be any chance to merge two $specialtemplates arrays

what do you know about that?

have you any idea?

I have one that to modify global.php and add:

$specialtemplates = array_merge($specialtemplates, array('milad'));

but I want to do this via plugin
???????????????

Hello,

I am fairly new to this, so I may be wrong, but wouldn't that be:


$specialtemplates = array(
'milad',
);


You can add as many entries as you like by adding a new line below the first template listed in the array. It would look like this:


$specialtemplates = array(
'milad',
'another',
'another1',
);

You can't load datastore items through Plugins, as the Plugin-System is initialized after datastore items are loaded.

Why can't you just use $vbulletin->datastore->fetch() then ?

I had been forced to use a single query, but really I'm not happy with this.

Thank you All

Dear Andreas
I'll ask in vb.com to get Plugin-System initialized before datastore items are loaded.

You can seriously break your forum if you use that function.

Yes I read it, so I avoid it and use a single query.

I tried using it in global_start, it failed miserably.

Might work in init_start, but be aware the fetch() function will re-fetch certain items no matter what happens.

[Milad]

I can merge the new item with the old ones and re-fetch, I think it won't do any harm.

what do you think?

I had far too many problems when using fetch() - its easier to write your own function to get datastore items until Jelsoft come up with a solution.
