Include php
 

- Plugin
I have made and activated a Plugin with the flowing information:
Hook Location: global_start
Title: btnSolvedPHP
Execution Order: 5
Plugin PHP Code:
ob_start();
include('customcode/btnSolved.php');
$includedphp = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

- Template
Then in the default template I've set the $includedphp at the right place:
So in 'postbit' right under '$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right]' I add the line '$includedphp'

- File
In the file 'customcode/btnSolved.php' I put the folowing testing-code:
- Result must be that in a post header right under the postcount there has to be a line 'qqq'.
But that is not the case fortunately.:confused:

When I change the plugin-code to:
$includedphp = 'qqq';
there is olso no line shown.

Plugin-system is enabled and the plugin is also enabled. File and folder rights are 666.
What can be the problem here?

Maybe a stupid question, but, are you sure you are using the postbit template on your site and not the postbit_legacy template? And, are you changing the correct style templates?

Hi Lynne

If I put some text direct into the 'postbit' right under '$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right]' then the text is shown at the right place.

I think that awsers your'e reaction :)

Try putting $includedphp on the last line of the ad_header_logo templete.

You should see 'qqq' under the header.

That's correct Andy.

ad_header_logo is empty in my case.
But yes when I put $includedphp into ad_header_logo then I see 'qqq' in the right of the header.
Do you know why 'qqq' is not being shown in the postbit and is being shown in the ad_header_logo?

I think it is remarkable that direct text is shown in postbit and a include not.

EDIT: I think it is remarkable that direct text is shown in postbit and a include not or only the content of a variable.

The problem might be the placement of the variable. Try placing the variable directly below this part of the template.

Does 'qqq' show?

echo will spit out the text as soon as the code it run - which is in the global_start plugin. If you want to put the code somewhere specific, you need to save the result to a variable and then spit the variable out where you want it (no echo statements in this method).

Andy:
I did what you asked and unfortunately there is no text shown anywhere on the page.
Man this is my fist time editing vbulletin and that makes thinking to a solution difficult. :)

Lynne:
Indeed. The global_start plugin runs the plugin.
The plugin runs the php-file and set the result in the variable $includedphp.

I put the variable in the right place with the Style Manager.
Now..
When I put the variable in the style-template ad_header_logo then the value of the variable is shown correctly>
But when I put the same variable in the style-template postbit then the value of the variable is not shown.
Remarkable is that when I put direct text in the style-template then it is shown correctly.
