editing template with custom variable
 

Alright so I have some code which outputs data from a database. It's in the member_start hook.

To test it I tried echoing the result and infact it does come out as expected at the top of the page. However, if I try and include the variable in a template so that it's outputted in the correct part of the page... it comes out blank.

How can I get templates to work with custom variables that are set from a plugin?

What template are you trying to use?

memberinfo_block_statistics

--------------- Added [DATE]1215415281[/DATE] at [TIME]1215415281[/TIME] ---------------

so...

You probably need to use $GOBALS[yourvar] if your custom variable is $yourvar. As the hook is probably located inside or a class/function.

Looking at the PHP file in which the hook is located is always a good place to start debugging. ;)

Thank you, worked like a charm!
