vb.org Archive - [SOLVED]Need help displaying variable data in vb4 custom template

I'm trying to create a custom template for vb4.
Following is the situation :

On my forum root, i have aa.php (Located at ../my_forum_root/aa.php) which includes bb.php located under ../my_forum_root/bb/bb.php

bb.php contains following code :

Code:

<?php

$test="test 123";

?>

I have created a template under main style and trying to print data under $test variable.

aa.php contains following code :

Code:

<?php

include('bb/bb.php');

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);



// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################



define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'aa');

define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);  

// change this depending on your filename



// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################

// get special phrase groups

$phrasegroups = array();



// get special data templates from the datastore

$specialtemplates = array();



// pre-cache templates used by all actions

$globaltemplates = array('aa',

);



// pre-cache templates used by specific actions

$actiontemplates = array();



// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

require_once('./global.php');



// #######################################################################

// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################

// #######################################################################



$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'aa'));

$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);



// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####

$pagetitle = 'test 123';



// ###### NOW YOUR TEMPLATE IS BEING RENDERED ######

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

$templater->register_page_templates();

$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);

$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);

print_output($templater->render());



?>

Template "aa" under main style contains following code :

Code:

{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">

  <head>

    <title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</title>

    {vb:raw headinclude}

  </head>

  <body>

    

    {vb:raw header}

    

    {vb:raw navbar}

        

    <div id="pagetitle">

      <h1>{vb:raw pagetitle}</h1>

    </div>

    

    <h2 class="blockhead">TEST ABC</h2>

    <div class="blockbody">

      <div class="blockrow">

{vb:raw contents}

      </div>

    </div>

    

    {vb:raw footer}

  </body>

</html>

However above code aint working for me.
Am i missing something??
