Postbit_legacy display problem

[alternity]

This isn't a design question, but I recently upgraded to 3.7.0 and my postbit_legacy template has disappeared. When I try to modify the template it reloads and shows up blank.

Even if i open the column in phpmysql and replace it then reload it is unsuccessful with the change. Is there something I need to modify in this postbit to get it to run in 3.7?

postbit_legacy posted on pastebin as it's too long->

It is very, very long. Have you tried saving just half of it and seeing if that works? Maybe the thing to do is replace some of that stuff with a custom template hook (or use one already available) and put a bunch of the stuff in it's own template and call it from a plugin.

I think you're right. Could you just briefly tell me how to do that, or point me to somewhere that can show me?

Look in the template for something that looks like "$template_hook[somename]". If it is located where you want to add some text, great. If not, you can input something into the template in that format "$template_hook[yourname]". Then, create a template, your_template, and put in the contents you want to enter there. Then, create a plugin that uses a hook on that page and in that plugin just put
eval('$template_hook[yourname] .= "' . fetch_template('your_template') . '";');(Replace "yourname" with "somename" if you are using an existing template hook.) This will insert the contents of your template, your_template, at the place you put the template_hook, yourname.
