hello,

I already asked this question on the german forum, but nobody seemed to be able to help me. Maybe you can.
Here's my problem: I want to list all favorite forums (those that you can see in the usercp) in a custom template. Somehow the vb: code doesn't work in my template like it does in the usercp.

Do you have any idea what I'm missing?

Here is my template:

{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">
<head>
{vb:raw headinclude}
{vb:raw clientscripts}
<title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle} - {vb:rawphrase forum_favorites}</title>
</head>
<body>

{vb:raw header}
{vb:raw navbar}

{vb:raw template_hook.custom_favorites}


<!-- ############## SUBSCRIBED FORUMS ############## -->
<div class="block" id="new_subscribed_forums">
<h2 class="blockhead">{vb:rawphrase forum_favorites}</h2>
<ol class="blockbody" id="forumlist">
{vb:raw forumbits}
</ol>
{vb:raw forumhome_markread_script}
</div>
<!-- ############## END SUBSCRIBED FORUMS ############## -->

<div class="block" id="new_subscribed_forums">
<h2 class="blockhead">{vb:rawphrase forum_favorites}</h2>
<ol class="blockbody" id="forumlist" style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: 13px;">
<p>Sie haben keine Foren abonniert!</p>
</ol>
</div>


{vb:raw footer}
</body>
</html>


Any hint would be very much appreciated... I'm stuck with this for a while now and it starts to be really frustrating.

All you've done is post a template which doesn't tell us anything. Where does the template get called? Did you write any custom code to go along with it?

Hello,

the function i mean does already exist in the usercp(screenshot). I want to display the subscribed forums on a different page.

}
if ($show['forums'])
{

{
cache_moderators();
}
else
{
cache_moderators($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
}
fetch_last_post_array();

$show['collapsable_forums'] = true;
$forumbits = construct_forum_bit(-1, 0, 1);
$forumhome_markread_script = vB_Template::create('forumhome_markread_script')->render();
if ($forumshown == 1)
{
$show['forums'] = true;
}
else
{
$show['forums'] = false;
}
}

$templater = vB_Template::create('custom_favoriten');
$templater->register('forumbits', $forumbits);
$templater->register('forumhome_markread_script', $forumhome_markread_script);
print_output($templater->render());


I created a custom hook in my template custom_favorites in the hook xml to get the code at the right position in my template.

maybe there is an easier way to get the function into a custom template or even do it without a custom template.

If you are writing your own php page, you have no need to include a custom hook - just put your code directly in there.
