Plugin Links and varibles

[cory_booth]

I am learning the new link format by using plugins to add tabs to the navbar.
I go that working.

The next problem I have though is some of my 3.8 links used userid varibles as part of the url.

i.e.
<li><a href="http://xxxxxxxxxx.com/showcat.php?cat=999&user={vb:raw (or var) bbuserinfo.userid}">My Stuff</a></li>

I have tried everything from "' to '" to ". to '". to get this working and can't seem to figure it out.

Any help?

This would be the correct link to put into a template:
<li><a href="http://xxxxxxxxxx.com/showcat.php?cat=999&user={vb:raw bbuserinfo.userid}">My Stuff</a></li>

If it's in a plugin, you may need to just use $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] as before. Hard to tell from what you've written.

Yes this is a plugin.

I get Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home1/gggggggggggg/public_html/yyyyyy/includes/class_bootstrap.php(685) : eval()'d code on line 85

If I copy paste
$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']

That tells me absolutely nothing. What does the whole plugin look like? You could (and do) have a syntax error and I can't see it if you don't post the code.

I added the ===== to show what I am struggling with.



global $template_hook;
$tabselected = '';
$tablinks = '';
if (PP_SCRIPT == 'PP_Classifieds')
{
$vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='pp_classifieds';
$tabselected = ' class="selected"';
$tablinks = '<ul class="floatcontainer">
<li><a href="http://creek.com/classifieds/">Classifieds Home</a></li>


//===========================

<li><a href="http://creek.com/classifieds/showcat.php?cat=500&ppuser=$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']">My Ads</a></li>

//==========================

<li><a href="http://creek.com/classifieds/showcat.php?cat=fav">My Watch List</a></li>
<li><a href="http://creek.com/classifieds/member.php?protype=6">Messages</a></li>
<li><a href="http://creek.com/classifieds/showmembers.php">Member List</a></li>
<li><a href="http://creek.com/classifieds/uploadproduct.php">Upload Ad</a></li>
<li><a href="http://creek.com/classifieds/search.php">Search</a></li>

</ul> ';


}
$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="http://aquiacreek.com/classifieds/">Classifieds</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>';

<li><a href="http://creek.com/classifieds/showcat.php?cat=500&ppuser='.$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'].'">My Ads</a></li>

(You really should have posted this in the article and I would have known right away exactly where you were talking about and what you wanted to modify.)

Sorry...

Thought is was an easy correction and I worry about hacks :-)
