need help with custom variable in header template

[LifesGreatestGift]

yes i've looked at the register variables article. still couldn't figure it out.

ive tried a few things and cannot get it to render
hook location: process_templates_complete

$menuUrl = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/menu/index.html";
$menuContent = file_get_contents($menuUrl);

$menuContent = $templater->render();
vB_Template::preRegister('header',array('menuConte nt' => $menuContent));

tried {vb:raw menuContent} in header template, didnt work.



$menuUrl = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/menu/index.html";
$menuContent = file_get_contents($menuUrl);

$templater->register('menuContent', $menuContent);
$templatevalues['our_network'] = $templater->render();
vB_Template::preRegister('header', $templatevalues);

tried {vb:raw our_network} in header template and it didnt work.

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Use hook parse_templates - process_templates_complete is too late because the header template has already been rendered.

Try this code:

$menuUrl = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/menu/index.html";
$menuContent = file_get_contents($menuUrl);

vB_Template::preRegister('header', array('menuContent' => $menuContent));


And use {vb:raw menuContent} in the header template.
