How to call a plugin via a template?

A friend of mine created a simple plugin so i can sell some ads on my site, but I cant figure out how i call the plugin in a template.

The template I'm dealing with is the postbit_legacy template in vb 3.5.4, so I set the hook location as postbit_display_start and named my plugin 'forum ad'

Here is my plugin php code:

PHP Code:


		
			
switch ($forum[forumid]) {



case "1":

$forumad = "this ad will show up in forum #1";

break;



case "2":

$forumad = "this ad will show up in forum #2";

break;



default:

$forumad = "this is my default ad";

break;

}

Lame question time: What do i put in my template to call this plugin?

Thanks in advance,

Try changing your plugin to this:

PHP Code:


		
			
ob_start();
switch ($forum[forumid]) {

case "1":
$forumad = "this ad will show up in forum #1";
break;

case "2":
$forumad = "this ad will show up in forum #2";
break;

default:
$forumad = "this is my default ad";
break;
}
ob_end_clean();

Just make sure the hook location is postbit_display_start and then you'll put $forumad wherever you want it to be within your postbit_legacy template.
