Basic plugin help
 
I have several templates that require minor editing after reverting.
I figure it's time to learn how to use plugins to do my editing.

I've read a few tutorials and still not grasping it.

For my first plugin I simply want to add the background color black to my header template.

The reverted template looks like this
HTML Code:
<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
        <td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
        <td align="$stylevar[right]" id="header_right_cell">
                <if condition="$ad_location['ad_header_logo']">$ad_location[ad_header_logo]<else />&nbsp;</if>
        </td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

$ad_location[ad_header_end]
The bottom of the index.php file is

HTML Code:
// ### ALL DONE! SPIT OUT THE HTML AND LET'S GET OUTTA HERE... ###
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('forumhome_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false;

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('FORUMHOME') . '");');
My plugin is
Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: forumhome_complete

HTML Code:
$find = '<td align=\"$stylevar[left]\">';
$replace = ' bgcolor=\"black\"';
$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($find, $replace . $find, $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);
Can someone please point me in the right direction or shed some light?

Why don't you just edit the header template?

(Header templates are eval()'d before the forumhome is even started, they are eval()'d into $header variable in global.php).

I have several other templates that need to be reverted and edited each time I upgrade.
I read the above url. I'll give it another read.

It sounds like I am using the wrong hook location then?
