For both plugins? That could be the problem, because unless you set the execution order you probably don't know which one is running first. But if you're using the same hook for more than one plugin you could also combine them into one. (What Sherif posted above might also work because it's using two hook locations).

And

Plugin Hook: parse_templates

Code:

ob_start();

  require_once('test.php');

  $php_include .= ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();

Thanks for your reply Sherif, although still no results.

These are the plugins I am using.

hook parse_templates

PHP Code:


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

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

$cotw_sidemenu = $templater->render();

vB_Template::preRegister('COTW_SOTW',array('cotw_sidemenu' => $cotw_sidemenu));

and

hook global_start

PHP Code:


		
			
ob_start();

  require_once('test.php');

  $php_include .= ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();

Then adding {vb:raw php_include} to my COTW_SIDEMENU template. Unfortunately still no results. :(

I told you to use

Parse template hook for this code

PHP Code:


		
			
ob_start();

  require_once('test.php');

  $php_include .= ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();

the hook for other code is which u were using earlier.

Sorry about that. Tried that as well but still no luck I'm afraid. The sidemenu shows perfectly but just not that variables output. Would you think it may have to do with the execution order ? Maybe the template is being rendered before the variable is included in the template? I'm so frustrated right now. :( In any case thanks for your help guys, I really appreciate it. If anyone has any more ideas or anything info at ALL please let me know. Thanks.

P.S.: If anyone is willing to help further I would gladly provide log in to my test site if anyone is up for it. To be honest I have reached my skill level on this one.

To be fair, why you are including external file from outside. just write php code in plugins or make functions.

HURRRAAYYYYYY!!!! FOR SHERRRIFFFFFF Needless to say I will NOT shoot the sherif :p

Thanks a bunch for your help. Also thanks to our advisor kh99, without your guys help I would have probably exploded my server or something. Thanks again guys. I'm so stoked this works now.

About your question I guess I have not been too familiar yet with vb plugin system as you can tell; as a noob still I feel more comfortable using files. I feel I have more control and organization with files than plugins. Performance wise does it have any impact choosing one over the other??

True. One last question. If I wanted to include the variable in more than one template can I do this:

PHP Code:


		
			
vB_Template::preRegister('COTW_SOTW',array('cotw_sidemenu' => $cotw_sidemenu));
vB_Template::preRegister('other template',array('cotw_sidemenu' => $cotw_sidemenu));
vB_Template::preRegister('other template',array('cotw_sidemenu' => $cotw_sidemenu));
vB_Template::preRegister('other template',array('cotw_sidemenu' => $cotw_sidemenu));

Or is there a better way of doing it If it is for more than a couple of templates?
