How to evalute a $vbulletin->option variable in a phrase?

Anyone know how to make a vbulletin->option variable evaluate in a phrase? I'm trying to use the phrase as part of the description for an admincp setting.

For example, I have the variable $vbulletin->options['throttle_posts_time'] set to 24.

I want my phrase to read:

Quote:

Maximum number of posts in a 24 hour period? Set to -1 for an unlimited number of posts allowed.

I've tried:

Quote:

Maximum number of posts in a {{vbulletin->options['throttle_posts_time']}} hour period? Set to -1 for an unlimited number of posts allowed.

Quote:

Maximum number of posts in a {{$vbulletin->options['throttle_posts_time']}} hour period? Set to -1 for an unlimited number of posts allowed.

Quote:

Maximum number of posts in a $vbulletin->options['throttle_posts_time'] hour period? Set to -1 for an unlimited number of posts allowed.

with no luck. The variable still stays as the string (like {{vbulletin->options['throttle_posts_time']}}) instead of being evaluated. Any ideas?

Thanks!

The phrase should be

Code:

Maximum number of posts in a {1} hour period? Set to -1 for an unlimited number of posts allowed.

Then, call the phrase using:

PHP Code:


		
			
construct_phrase($vbphrase['phrase_name'], $vbulletin->options['throttle_posts_time']);

The problem is that the phrase is being displayed as part of the usergroup permissions using an xml file:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<?php construct_phrase($vbphrase['throttle_posts_throttle'], $vbulletin->options['throttle_posts_time']);?>

<bitfields product="throttle_posts">

        <bitfielddefs>

                <group name="ugp">

                        <group name="throttle_postspermissions">

                                <bitfield name="throttle_postspermissions" intperm="true" group="throttle_postspermissions" phrase="throttle_posts_throttle">1</bitfield>

                        </group>

                </group>

        </bitfielddefs>

</bitfields>

I don't see any way to evaluate the php statement. Even if I put it in the above code wrapped in php tags, it won't get evaluated since the web server only sees the file as an xml file. :confused:

Well, since you're trying to evaluate a variable where no variable is expected you'll need to modify the backend.

In the calling PHP file, you'll need to perform an str_replace(); somewhere in the function call parsing the XML data. This will most likely require file edits, as I don't believe there are any appropriate hooks available.

Yea, I just checked. The changes to make would be in /includes/class_bitfield_builder.php -- and there are no hooks available. Alternatively, you could probably do it in /admincp/usergroup.php but, again, no hooks available.

Well, I haven't tried this, but because of the way vb processes templates you might be able to put code into a phrase. e.g. make the value of the actual phrase throttle_posts_throttle be

Code:

construct_phrase($vbphrase['throttle_posts_throttle'], $vbulletin->options['throttle_posts_time']);
