Plugin for ad_showthread_firstpost, which hook Localtion?

[fabioski]

I am writing a plug-in for ad_showthread_firstpost template.
It doesn't work.

In the Hook Location I choice: showthread_complete...

Which hook location I have to choiche?

[Dismounted]

Why don't you just edit the ad location template?

[fabioski]

Because I have to choice many promos from mysql table:
SELECT * FROM adv WHERE adv_type = 'forum_post' AND macrosez = '$id_forum'

Can't I do a plugin for thia template?:eek::confused::mad::mad:

showthread_getinfo

[fabioski]

I just tried with showthread_start and showthread_getinfo but they doesn't work because in my plug-in I need to know in which forum_id the thread is;
at the beginning of plugin I use:
$id_forum = $forum['forumid'];

this variable is read only with showthread_complete... :( :( :(

[Opserty]

Try instead:

$id_forum = $thread['forumid'];

Which hook location have I to choose?
I try with showthread_complete and showthread_getinfo but it doesn't work :(

The plug-in generate correctly the variable:
$testo_adv_header .= "$row_adv_header[adv_text]";
and I stamp it on site correctly:
echo "$testo_adv_header";

But in the template the variable does not appear!
<td>$testo_adv_header</td>
</tr>
