- - [HOW TO - vB4] Rendering templates and registering variables - a short guide (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228078)

Well, obviously $statar is an array. I have no idea how you set it up, but just as you can't do echo $array in PHP, you can't just use {vb:raw array}. In PHP you would do echo $array['key'] to output the value. In the template you need to use {vb:raw array.key} accordingly.

Just as described in the first chapter of the article.

Appreciate it Cellarius.
I looked through some of the other vbulletin, so I had to do something like.

while yada yada
{ something = something['']}

And everything started working. Mental error on my part. The only thing now is trying to complete a new mod for vbulletin.

If anyone is able to guide me, I am trying to hack the Post Thanks Plugin so I can pass a variable to a template as a conditional.

Here is the function I need to create a conditional for:

PHP Code:


		
			
function can_thank_this_post($postinfo = array(), $threadisdeleted = 0, $check_security = false, $securitytoken = '')

{

    global $vbulletin;



    ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('post_thanks_function_can_thank_this_post_start')) ? eval($hook) : false;



    if ($postinfo['postid'] == 0 || $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == 0 || $postinfo['isdeleted'] || $threadisdeleted || (!($vbulletin->options['post_thanks_poster_button']) && $postinfo['userid'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']))

    {

        return false;

    }



    if (post_thanks_in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], $vbulletin->options['post_thanks_usergroup_using']) || post_thanks_in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], $vbulletin->options['post_thanks_user_useing']))

    {

        return false;

    }



    if ($vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] < $vbulletin->options['post_thanks_post_count_needed'])

    {

        return false;

    }



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

    {

        global $count_thanks_so_far_totay;



        if ($count_thanks_so_far_totay === null)

        {

            $count_thanks_so_far_totay = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS total FROM " .TABLE_PREFIX. "post_thanks WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . " AND date > " . (TIMENOW - (60 * 60 * 24)) . "");

        }



        if ($vbulletin->options['post_thanks_max_per_day'] <= $count_thanks_so_far_totay['total'])

        {

            return false;

        }

    }



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

    {

        if (TIMENOW > (($vbulletin->options['post_thanks_days_old'] * 60 * 60 * 24) + $postinfo['dateline']))

        {

            return false;

        }

    }



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

    {

        require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_post_groans.php');

        if (groaned_already($postinfo))

        {

            return false;

        }

    }



    if ($check_security && function_exists(verify_security_token))

    {

        if (!verify_security_token($securitytoken, $vbulletin->userinfo['securitytoken_raw']))

        {

            return false;

        }

    }



    ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('post_thanks_function_can_thank_this_post_end')) ? eval($hook) : false;



    return true;

}

And I want to be able to use:

HTML Code:

<vb:if condition="$post['can_thank_post']">Button code here</vb:if>

LW (linkworth ) has given me a php file to include in the navigation bar. It will show rotating ads via rss feed. How can I include that file

I wrote the following code in global_start

PHP Code:


		
			


ob_start();

  include('rss_reader.php');

  $linkmura = ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();



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

    $templater->register('my_var', $linkmura);



$templatevalues['linkmura1'] = $templater->render();

vB_Template::preRegister('navbar', $templatevalues);

And using {vb:raw linkmura1} to show that. But nothing is been shown (on navbar http://www.dstreetdirect.com )

Also the code in the rss_reader.php is :

PHP Code:


		
			


<?php

$insideitem = false;

$tag = "";

$title = "";

$description = "";

$link = ""; 



function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs)

{

    global $insideitem, $tag, $title, $description, $link;



    if($insideitem)

    {

        $tag = $name;

    }

    elseif($name == "ITEM")

    {

        $insideitem = true;

    }

}



function endElement($parser, $name)

{

    global $insideitem, $tag, $title, $description, $link;

   

    if ($name == "ITEM")

    {

        printf("<dt><b><a href='%s' title='%s'>%s</a></b></dt>",

        trim($link),htmlspecialchars(trim($description)),htmlspecialchars(trim($title)));

        printf("<dt>%s</dt><br/><br/>",htmlspecialchars(trim($description)));



        $title = "";

        $description = "";

        $link = "";

        $insideitem = false;

    }

}



function characterData($parser, $data)

{

    global $insideitem, $tag, $title, $description, $link;



    if($insideitem)

    {

        switch($tag)

        {

            case "TITLE":

                $title .= $data;

                break;

            case "LINK":

                $link .= $data;

                break;

            case "DESCRIPTION";

                $description .= $data;

                break;

        }

    }

}



$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();

xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");

xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "characterData");



//====================================================================

//====================================================================

//====================================================================

// ENTER YOUR UNIQUE RSS URL BELOW WHERE YOU SEE THE XXXX's

//====================================================================

//====================================================================

//====================================================================

$fp = fopen("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "r")

   or die("Error reading RSS data.");





while ($data = fread($fp, 4096))

   xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))

      or die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",

         xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),

         xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));

fclose($fp);

xml_parser_free($xml_parser);



?>

Please smbdy help and tell me easiest way to do that....

I'm just curious if registering the navbar is always necessary if you're creating a template for your own vB page, and if so, should the first post be updated to illustrate this?

And where the hell is the documentation on things like this:

Code:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_template_parser.php');

$parser = new vB_TemplateParser('<div id="toplinks" class="toplinks">');

$parser->dom_doc = new vB_DomDocument($parser->fetch_dom_compatible());

$find = trim($parser->_parse_nodes($parser->dom_doc->childNodes()));



$parser = new vB_TemplateParser('<div style="float:right; margin: 5px -12px 5px 10px;">{vb:raw mycode}</div>');

$parser->dom_doc = new vB_DomDocument($parser->fetch_dom_compatible());

$replace = trim($parser->_parse_nodes($parser->dom_doc->childNodes()));



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

unset($find, $replace);

Or do you have to go through all the various files yourself to learn all of the functions and hope you stumble on what you're looking for?

You won't stumble on to that anywhere in the files. ;)

If I have this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$my_array = array(1,2);

How can I render my template in order to show it? I don't know which key it is being used. If I do this:

Code:

{vb:raw my_array}

It is rendered like:

Code:

Array

PS: By the way, do you know any tutorial about how to send queries to the database from vBulletin?

{vb:raw my_array.0} = 1
{vb:raw my_array.1} = 2

{vb:raw my_var}

{vb:raw my_array.key1}
