Making your end users do less and less creates the problems we have now. Make your users do the template edits.

Think that's fun when you want to make a custom style? For one: If I change my navbar to the header, that link does not follow.. and so on.

Bad, bad, bad bad bad bad bad bad.

Whether you like automatic editing of templates is a personal choice, not a fact. If you want to discuss the merits of doing it please start a new thread, not clutter up this one.

That was a plus for me?

Nicely done Ziki. :D And as an extra bonus, something I just found out. Namely that you don't need to create or insert a template if all you want to insert is one value from your settings.

Code:

$str = 'findthis';

$vbulletin->templatecache['footer'] = str_replace($str,$str.$vbulletin->options['kerjigger'],$vbulletin->templatecache['footer']);

Because str_replace uses up a little bit of resources, if whether or not it's going to be used is dependent on settings in your plugin then it's worth surrounding the replace code with a variable to ensure it only runs when it has to. Like so:

Code:

if ($vbulletin->options['mysetting'])

{

$str = 'findthis';

$vbulletin->templatecache['footer'] = str_replace($str,$str.$vbulletin->options['kerjigger'],$vbulletin->templatecache['footer']);

}

Two small additional notes.

Firstly, templatecache identities are CASE SENSITIVE. So $vbulletin->templatecache['SHOWTHREAD'] will work but $vbulletin->templatecache['showthread'] will not, because the the template is named with capitals.

Secondly, if you are doing a find/replace it's slightly more efficient to include what you're finding in the replacement text instead of appending it in the str_replace. So

Code:

$find = 'this';

$replace = 'this that';

$vbulletin->templatecache['SHOWTHREAD'] = str_replace($find, $replace, $vbulletin->templatecache['SHOWTHREAD']);

is more efficient than

Code:

$find = 'this';

$replace = ' that';

$vbulletin->templatecache['SHOWTHREAD'] = str_replace($find, $find.$replace, $vbulletin->templatecache['SHOWTHREAD']);

Doing it the first way also has another advantage in that you can add your replacement immediately before what you're finding. If you do it the second way, you can only add it after.
