If you switch the template names (just for a test), does it still only work in the navbar?

Still not working, here is the complete code in use atm...

(code removed :))

Oh, that's different, I thought you were seeing nothing. But I think it's just that it should be vb:raw instead of vb.raw (I totally missed that in your above post).

Lmao, wow! It was definately ":" instead of ".". I can't believe I did that :o. Thanks. [S]On a side note, any idea as to how to adjust the position of a Google+ button? I've been at it for several hours, and it just doesn't seem to move :confused:[/S] Figured that out finally :p

i need help parsing a code into HEADER template using plugin

basically i need to insert a code after

i dont want a template, i just want the plugin to insert a code directly after that shown above

using something like

i am not sure the rest but i know its something like that

Try this in the parse_templates hook:

I thank you very much it worked 100% :)

updating templates this way works perfect without the need to go into the template to manually input it
thx

You actually had doubts it would work? ;)

lol, i have lost touch with vb coding in a long time, i just need to get used to it, plus i am glad you repsonded i have seen your great work and advice on here
many thanks

vb 4 handles str_replace differently, for some reason. Glad I could help. ;)

I can't say I've ever seen this done :eek: I might have to use this in the future :D

Go for it. An unnamed dev gave it to me a long while back.

Hey all,

I think i'm being really dumb here, looking for some help.

In my Navbar Template i want to call another template that i want to create, rather that adding code irectly into the navbar template.

Am i right in thinking that i have to register the code in a php file on the server, or can i do this all via a plug in and templates? if so, does anyone have some code for a simple example, i.e. call 1 new template from within another VB default template? - I ask because unless i am mistaken what i've read thus far seems to focus more on adding code to PHP files.

Currently running 4.1.10.

The template I want to call from navbar template is called memberbar_basic.

You would create a new plugin with code something like this:


and you would put {vb:raw memberbar_basic} in the navber template. Hook location parse_templates would probably be a good place for your plugin.

Hiya,

Thanks for responding - I can't seem to get it to work though, let me review whats currently configured.

Template = memberbar_member_basic
Template content = memberbar member basic test.

Plugin name = memberbar_member_basic
Plugin Hook = Parse Templates
Plugin Content =
Navbar Template (at bottom) i've placed - {vb:raw memberbar_member_basic}

I tried moving {vb:raw memberbar_member_basic} to other templates, specifically forumhome but its still not rendering.

would i have to use variables? if so, is there a guide/overview of what variables would bee needed anywhere?

Thanks
B

Off hand there's a typo in the middle line, it's missing the first "m" in "memberbar"

If that error is in your real code it wouldn't work.

haha, now i do really feel stupid....

ok, modified my thread correcting the typo and im please to say its working!..

/grabs coat..

(p.s. thank you!)

Progressing from my previous query.

I need to register some variables to allow notifications to be registered in my plugin (Post # 216)

I've tried following this guide here..

https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...ons-menu-place

I attempted the following, to no avail.

Plugin name = memberbar_member_basic
Plugin Hook = Parse Templates
Plugin Content =
I then moved the notifications code from header to the memberbar_member_basic template, which for reference makes the dropdown appear but does not show notifications nor total notifications.

Code moved.

Basically, what i am trying to achieve is moving the notifications from header to my new template.

Thanks

OK, I have done.

I understand everything. For some reason, I only get the word Array to show up on my templates. This is what I use on my template.
I'm guessing I have the array register proper. Is there anything else that I have to add to go with the query. I used the * because their is more than just one result to show from that particular table.

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:

And I want to be able to use:

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

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 :

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:

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. ;)

Pls help me :(

If I have this:
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:
It is rendered like:
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

See the article:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=119350

Oh, and is there any way to show all my array cells If I don't know which size is the array?

Edited: I suspect that it is done in this way.
I am doing something wrong. I have this:
resource(46) of type (mysql result)

And each row is:
I'm doing this in my template:
Notice this: Test {vb:raw sentence.name}

But It doesn't show nothing, as if the each is not being executed. I expected to show, at least, 46 Test words.

You are registering the return from one of the query functions. You need to call fetch_array() to get an array for each row, like:


Of course each row is an array (even if you only selected one column). If you are selecting one column from a number of matching rows, you won't get an array with all the matching values, you still get an array for each row. If you want an array with all the matching values you'd have to build that yourself.

Note also that you don't *have* to register an array to your template and use vb:each - you could format your own html string in the while loop above, then just register the string.

[QUOTE=Boofo;2287132]Try this in the parse_templates hook:

Boofo, I was working on specialized routine and trying to use some of the vb-ojects to solve my problem when I came across the code you posted here. This redirected me to the right vb routines. Thanks so much for sharing!

I have a problem on a page. I can use the variable {vb:raw companyname} in the places of the template that I need to. However when I want to place it in my navbits which are created by the php file it just echos itself.

Try putting $companyname in your navbits instead of {vb:raw companyname} Since it's in a single-quoted string you need to use concatenation, like:

Thanks a ton! I had tried $companyname without the '. .' and had the same results (echoed $companyname.

Can anyone help me out what i'm doing wrong?

i'm trying to add something to the Default navbar template. (a server status for my game server)
but first i'm trying out the example but i can't get it to work.

This is my plugin setup.

Hook location: Global_start
Title: server Status
execution order :5

Plugin code:
Then in the navbar template of my default style i add even tried withingAnyone able to help me out ?

Edit: and Enable Plugin/Hook System is enabled also

You don't want to render the navbar template because the vbulletin code already does that for you. To get your variable registered to that template you want to use preRegister, like;

Thanks a lot. :up:
Now i can start creating my plugin understanding the preRegister.

------------------------------------

I'm doing this using $GLOBALS[templatevalues] = $templatevalues; rather than preRegister().


Then use this in the templates where you want the output to appear:
Be Well
