Adding quick moderation to header template
 

I'm trying to add everything back to a few of my sites since I've upgraded everything to vBulletin 4+...

I had all of my moderation links display in the header template if I had anything that needed to be moderated.

Basically, the idea is pretty much: Moderation link replaces logo if there are items to be moderated.

I'm currently using the following code in the global_start hook:

This plugin doesn't seem to push the $modlinks variable through to the header template. I'm using this code in the header template:It doesn't work though, and I definitely have links that are in need of being moderated.

I have also tried the parse_templates hook, which works for some things, however, when using that hook instead of global_start... I get a blank page. :(

Any help would be appreciated! :)

When I try this plugin code:

And your template code in the header template, I see "Test" appear in my header. So that would seem to indicate that the query is failing. I don't have any adv_links table in my database, so maybe that's changed? (Although I don't have it in my vb3.8.3 database either).

adv_links is an addon vBadvanced Links Directory.

I'm trying to do the same thing with everything else... you could also try with this:

The query should work as it works in other places, but for some reason it's not.

Thanks for your help! :)

Hmm...I may be wrong. I'm not sure if there is any condition where $db->query_first returns something that would cause the conditional to be false. I put a different query in there like you suggested and it worked.

So could you problem be that something else is changing the value of $modthreads before you get to the header template render()?

Hmm... well, I'm glad you said that, however there isn't anything else changing the value of it. It seems to have been the execution order for some reason. Anything 5+ doesn't work, less than 5, it works just fine.

Thank you! :D

Err... looks like I actually spoke too soon. When changing to execution order to 4 or below, all of the variables have a value of "Array" instead of the actual number. :(
