How to eval template vB4

PHP Code:


		
			
eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('shoutbox_archive') . '";');

This is my current method of fetching a template, how do we fetch a template in vBulletin 4?

Could somebody turn that code into vb4-acceptable syntax?

EDIT: So far I have:

PHP Code:


		
			
$templater = vB_Template::create('shoutbox_archive');

What variables am I meant to register? Every variable that's used inside the template?

You register any variable you plan to use in the template - usually not also stylevars, or vboptions or session - the common ones. But, if you use them, and don't register them and they don't work, then add them in.

I register all variables except stylevars, vboptions and sessions? Does sessions include the session URL? Do I need to register the session URL?

Also, what about $vbcollapse?

The template is already created (with variables) I just need to call the template for a custom URL and register all variables, however i'm not sure which ones don't need to be registered.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:
Old code:

PHP Code:


		
			
eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('shoutbox_archive') . '";');

New code:

PHP Code:


		
			
$templater = vB_Template::create('shoutbox_archive');
    $templater->register('cansearch', $cansearch);
    $templater->register('shouthtml', $shouthtml);
    $templater->register('vbcollapse', $vbcollapse);
    $templater->register('TS', $TS);
    $templater->register('T4', $T4);
    $templater->register('TY', $TY);
    $templater->register('search', $search);
    $templater->register('top_shouter_num', $top_shouter_num);
    $templater->register('TopTen', $TopTen);
    $templater->register('pagenav', $pagenav);
    $HTML = $templater->render();

Is that new code right? I.e. does it mimic the old code? (assuming all of my variables are registered correctly)

It doesn't hurt to register a variable that isn't needed (like a stylevar or session). So, if you aren't sure if you need to register them or not, just put them in anyway.

Hey Lynne,

Does the above code mimic the old code, just in the new syntax?

Old:

PHP Code:


		
			
eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('shoutbox_archive') . '";');

Yeah, it looks fine to me. But then, I've always been one who just jumps in and tries it out - thank God for test sites!

I'm trying to output this to a ?do=archive and it won't show anything currently, thanks for your help though, i'm sure i'll figure something out!

And is $HTML registered to be used in whatever template used in do=archive? (I have no idea where that page is).

do=archive is an archive for my shoutbox.

So if I assign the template to variable $HTML, that variable has to be registered also?

I'll fix that little error.

Yep, all variables must be registered for use in a template now.
