OK, that helps a lot. Now, next question. What if I want to render into my own private variable and display as part of the "postbit_legacy" template? For example, if I wanted to render as follows:

$MyVar = $templater->render();

...

I registered my PHP code at postbit_display_start.

Then inside of "postbit_legacy" -- replace {vb:raw post.message} with {vb:raw MyVar}. There appears to be a variable scope problem, or I'm not accessing $MyVar correctly inside of postbit_legacy.

When I render into one of the hooks, the rendered display does show up correctly -- so I know the mechanics of what I'm doing are all correct.

I agree and this definitely helps cement by decision to never upgrade to vb4.

Does anyone know the usergroup HTML markup variable names?

To be clear, I'm not looking to use {vb:raw post.musername}, I want to get the HTML markup without the username.
