[code.]your code here[./code]
Would be

Code:

your code here

[php.]your code here[./php]
Would be

PHP Code:


		
			
your code here

[html.]your code here[./html]
Would be

HTML Code:

your code here

Obviously without the "." in the tags though :)

Thanks, got it. Now back to my previous post, anybody have any ideas?

What hook is your code on?

what's a hook? I dont have a hook. I ended up just doing this. I basically just added my database code to the forum.php file and got it to work, but i have to modify every template like I mentioned in this thread, i'd rather use this thread https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=267120

[S]That's probably the issue - if you put it in after global.php, it's too late to affect the header[/S]. (Edit: actually that's wrong, I think you have until another template is rendered, so what you did could have worked, but try it with a plugin anyway.)

See my post in the other thread.

First let me say that I am not PHP literate, but can find my way around 9 times out of 10.

I am creating custom templates to include my non vb scripts but am having troubles when trying to include a variable(?) from this script in any template outside the main body.

I will try to be as detailed as possible, hopefully any responses will include the information I give as a real life example so that I can get an understanding of what was done.

Goal: to take $companyname from the below script and add it to my page title, navbits etc. (currently I only get echos of $companyname or {vb:raw companyname}, depending on where I am in my efforts.

PHP Code:


		
			
if (isset($_GET['company']))

    $company = $_GET['company'];

   else

    $company = '100megs';

$result = mysql_query("select * from hostwebhost where companyname = '$company'");

if (!$result) {

$numrows = 0;

} else {

$numrows = mysql_num_rows($result);

}

for($x=0;$x<$numrows;$x++){

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

$host_id = $row[0];

$companyname = $row[1];

$emailaddress = $row[2]; 

$URL = $row[3]; 

$track = $row[4]; 

$imgtop = $row[5]; 

$imgright = $row[6]; 

$imgbody = $row[7]; 

$joined = $row[8]; 

$password = $row[9]; 

$isvalid = $row[10]; 

$supportlist = $row[11]; 

$street1 = $row[12]; 

$street2 = $row[13]; 

$city = $row[14]; 

$state = $row[15]; 

$zip = $row[16]; 

$country = $row[17]; 

$contactname = $row[18]; 

$contactphone = $row[19]; 

$contactfax = $row[20]; 

$suggested = $row[21]; 

$comdescrip = $row[22]; 

$registered = $row[23];

plugin info:

PHP Code:


		
			
location: global_bootstrap_init_start

title: Webhost-php Include

execution order: 5

code:

ob_start();

ob_start();

include('/srv/www/findnewhosting.com/public_html/webhost1.php');

$webhost = ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean(); 

vB_Template::preRegister('webhost-php', array('webhost' => $webhost));

As you can see the script is webhost1.phpwhich includes the first set of code above. Please note that the custom page is webhost.php which contains the following:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);



// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################



define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'webhosting');

define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);  

// change this depending on your filename



// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################

// get special phrase groups

$phrasegroups = array();



// get special data templates from the datastore

$specialtemplates = array();



// pre-cache templates used by all actions

$globaltemplates = array('webhost-php',);



// pre-cache templates used by specific actions

$actiontemplates = array();



// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

chdir ('/srv/www/findnewhosting.com/public_html');



require_once('/srv/www/findnewhosting.com/public_html/global.php');



// #######################################################################

// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################

// #######################################################################



$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => '&nbsp;</span></li><li class="navbit"><span><a href="/">Home</a></span></li><li class="navbit"><span><a href="../hostindex.php">Web Hosting</a></span></li><li class="navbit lastnavbit"><span>{vb:raw companyname} 



'));

$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);



// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####

$pagetitle = '$companyname';

$templater = vB_Template::create('headerincludea');

$headerincludea = $templater->render();

$templater = vB_Template::create('webhost-php');

$templater->register_page_templates();

$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);

$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);

$templater->register('sidebarext', $sidebarext);

$templater->register('sidebaropen', $sidebaropen);

$templater->register('headerincludea', $headerincludea);





print_output($templater->render());

?>

webhost-php(template):

PHP Code:


		
			
{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">

<head>

<title>{vb:raw companyname}</title>

{vb:raw headerincludea}

{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}

</head>

<body>

{vb:raw header}

{vb:raw navbar}

{vb:raw sidebaropen}

<br />

<div id="pagetitle">

<h1>&nbsp;&nbsp;{vb:raw pagetitle}</h1><br />

</div>

<div class="blockbody">

<div class="blockrow">

<div align="center">



{vb:raw webhost}



</div>

</div>

</div>

    {vb:raw sidebarext}





    {vb:raw footer}

  </body>

</html>

If there is any other info I can give to make it easier to solve just let me know.

I don't know if it's your only problem but you didn't register $companynanme in your webhost1.php file, so it won't show in your template.

Could you dumb that down please?

At the end of webhost1.php you have this code:

Code:

$templater = vB_Template::create('webhost-php'); 

$templater->register_page_templates(); 

$templater->register('navbar', $navbar); 

$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle); 

$templater->register('sidebarext', $sidebarext); 

$templater->register('sidebaropen', $sidebaropen); 

$templater->register('headerincludea', $headerincludea); 





print_output($templater->render());

You need to add this line:

Code:

$templater = vB_Template::create('webhost-php'); 

$templater->register_page_templates(); 

$templater->register('navbar', $navbar); 

$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle); 

$templater->register('sidebarext', $sidebarext); 

$templater->register('sidebaropen', $sidebaropen); 

$templater->register('headerincludea', $headerincludea); 

$templater->register('companynanme', $companynanme);



print_output($templater->render());

ALL variables you need to use in a template MUST be registered to a template before you use it. If you use any other variables you must register them also.

Thank you so much. As soon as I can put this paint brush down I will give it a shot.

Dave

Code:

        $search_text = '<!-- end logged-in users -->';

        $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($search_text, $search_text . fetch_template('forumhome_xyz'), $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);

how i can rewrite this for vb4?

thank you
