A little confused now (calling a template)

Just got vBulletin 4.0.0 Suite set up on my test site for now, trying to get all of my modifications working before I install it on my live site. So, for those of you who have already had the time to play around with vB 4, how do you call templates now.

I USED to do it like in this thread by using the method below

PHP Code:


		
			
eval('$mytemplate = "' . fetch_template('mytemplate') . '";');

but that apparently no longer works.

So, anyone know how to call a template via a plugin now? haha
(vBulletin 4.0.0 is definately a lot more confusing than I thought it'd be)

First, you need to register the variables you will be using in the template and then you need to render it.
Example from one of mine using a template_hook:

PHP Code:


		
			
    $templater = vB_Template::create('my_custom_template'); 
        $templater->register('a_variable ', $a_variable); 
    $template_hook['some_hook'] .= $templater->render();

or - using a variable (which must then be registered for us in the next template):

PHP Code:


		
			
    $templater = vB_Template::create('my_custom_template'); 
        $templater->register('a_variable ', $a_variable);
    $somevariable .= $templater->render();

or - print_output:

PHP Code:


		
			
    $templater = vB_Template::create('my_custom_template'); 
        $templater->register('a_variable ', $a_variable);
    print_output($templater->render());

There is a blog entry by Kier over on vb.com that shows this.

Hey, thank you for your reply.
Can you please be more specific?
What shout i put instead of a_variable, $tagforms, $template_hook['some_hook'], etc?
What should be the hook location?

See it uses { & } now for some things and the vb: is now in all your templates.

Code:

<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/paperclip.png" class="inlineimg" />

Code:

{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_signature_end}

Are some examples, check your templates you'll see codes there and tinker with it, very easy to catch on ;) and your template "postbit signature end" is being called via that code which was located in the postbit template :D.

a_variable is the name of the variable you are registering. $tagforms was supposed to be $a_variable, but I forgot to change it - it is now changed. As for the $template_hook, that would be the name of the template_hook you are trying to use.... if you are using a template_hook. I gave several examples up there - you would not use them all for one template call.

How about if the hook you want does not exist. In vb3 say for instance after navbar you could print a blook right about the forumbits below the navbar. There is no such hook in vb4

Then either add your own hook or modify the template manually.

Are there tutorials on adding your own hook location?

Nevermind got it but still would have not liked to hard code something into forumhome if I did not have to ;)

I think I just responded to a thread you made on vb.com. Until they add a hook under the navbar on FORUMHOME, you can just do a str_replace on <div id="pagetitle">

Omegatron

yeah you did I tried the str_replace and it did not work I asked if you knew why it did not.
