$template_hook[navbar_buttons_left] not working when forum menu moved to header

[ablaye]

Hi,

I have moved the forum menu to the header template. It used to be in the 'navbar' template.
However, the variable $template_hook[navbar_buttons_left] is no longer containing any data. It was supposed to create a "Blog" link on the forum menu but no longer does so when the menu is moved to the header.

Can anyone help?

Whatever code that is adding a link to $template_hook[navbar_buttons_left] needs to run before the header template is evaluated.

I figured that. But what is the code that is adding the link????

I don't know, I assume you installed a mod or the vB Blog add-on, and that's what's adding the link. So, which is it?

i am having this same problem with
$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts]
and i am evalling the template to the template_hook in the global start hook.

global_start is run after the header has been eval'd, you need to use parse_templates.

Thank you very much!

I only installed the plain vBlog. No add-on. I am trying to have the "Blogs" link appear on the header menu.
What do I need to change?

Did you install the official vBulletin Blog product found here http://www.vbulletin.com/features_blog.php ?

Yes. I sure did.

[Analogpoint]

Yes. I sure did.

Oh, ok, I think there was another mod floating around called vBlog. That's why I wasn't sure. And since I don't have access to the code for vB blog product, I can't really help you out.
