How do I insert a template through a plugin
 
Hi All,

Just a brief about me, I have no coding background whatsoever and I am trying to learn where I am trying to just do simple stuff.

I am working on this plugin which I am trying to add in $adv_portal and here is my problem

$adv_portal - is the template where I want $adv_portal_rotating_articles to be inserted and this is the full content of it
Code:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<if condition="$pages['name'] == 'home'">
    <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
    <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
    <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0" />
</if>

<title>$vboptions[hometitle] <if condition="$pagetitle">- $pagetitle</if></title>

$headinclude

</head>
<body>

$header

$navbar

<if condition="$show['customizepagelink']">
    <div align="$stylevar[right]" style="padding-top: $stylevar[cellpadding]px; padding-bottom: $stylevar[cellpadding]px">
        <if condition="$show['customizepage']">
            [<a href="javascript: reset_cmps_layout($pages[pageid])">$vbphrase[reset_layout]</a>]
            [<a href="$show[customizepagelink]">$vbphrase[exit_customization_mode]</a>]
        <else />
            [<a href="$show[customizepagelink]">$vbphrase[customize_this_page]</a>]
        </if>
    </div>
</if>

<table align="center" class="page" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">
    <tr valign="top">
        <if condition="$show['left_column']">
            <td width="$vba_style[portal_leftcolwidth]"<if condition="$show['center_column'] OR $show['right_column']"> style="padding-$stylevar[right]: $vba_style[portal_colspacing]px"</if>>
                $home[leftblocks]
            </td>
        </if>
        <if condition="$show['center_column']">
            <td valign="top">
                $home[centerblocks]
            </td>
        </if>
        <if condition="$show['right_column']">
            <td valign="top" width="$vba_style[portal_rightcolwidth]"<if condition="$show['center_column'] OR $show['left_column']"> style="padding-$stylevar[left]: $vba_style[portal_colspacing]px"</if>>
                $home[rightblocks]
            </td>
        </if>
    </tr>
</table>

$footer

</body>
</html>
$adv_portal_rotating_articles - is the template I have created and would like to insert within $adv_portal

The plugin is as follows

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: vba_cmps_print_output // which I have tested with debug and I got positive results
Code:
$find = '<table align="center" class="page" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">';

$replace = $adv_portal_rotating_articles;

$adv_portal = str_replace($find, $replace . $find, $adv_portal_rotating_articles);
I think there is something wrong with the PHP code but I can't figure it out !

I would appreciate the help

Regards,
Omar

For including your custom template you will need two plugins.

Hi valdet,

I have already done this and I have also already added the template in "Portal Output Global Variables" in vba settings.

I think I am missing something in the PHP code above.

Would appreciate the support.

Regards,
Omar

This doesn't look correct. You are finding something in a template and replacing it with itself?
Code:
$find = '<table align="center" class="page" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">';

$replace = $adv_portal_rotating_articles;

$adv_portal = str_replace($find, $replace . $find, $adv_portal_rotating_articles);

Hi Lynne,

So I believe what you are saying I should do this?
Code:
$find = '<table align="center" class="page" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">';

$replace = $adv_portal_rotating_articles;

$adv_portal = str_replace($find, $replace . $find, $adv_portal_rotating_articles);
if yes, then I've done it and did not work as well

str_replace (find this, replace with this, in this)

You said "$adv_portal_rotating_articles - is the template I have created and would like to insert within $adv_portal". But, your find/replace statement says you are finding and replacing something in $adv_portal_rotating_articles and assigning it the new value of $adv_portal. That doesn't seem to be what you said you wanted. Seems to me you want it to be:

PHP Code:
$adv_portal = str_replace($find, $replace . $find, $adv_portal); 
(I'm just commenting on that one line, not the whole thing.)

Hey Lynne,

Thanks for explaining that. However after changing it still does not work. Am I doing something wrong?

You may get more help over on the vbadvanced forum since this is a module for vbadvanced (isn't it?).
