Why can't I preregister a template variable in a function?

I got started on a project to make the What's Going On box available on pages other than the home page. The way I wanted to do it is shown schematically below:

Code:

  

function whats_going_on($template_name)

{

     global $vbulletin, $show, $template_hook, $vbphrase;

     .

     .

     . 

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

     .

     $preregistered['whatsgoingon'] = $templater->render();

     vB_Template::preRegister($template_name, $preregistered);

}



whats_going_on('FORUMDISPLAY');

Well, that didn't work so I ended up doing it like this:

Code:

  

function whats_going_on()

{

     global $vbulletin, $show, $template_hook, $vbphrase;

     .

     .

     . 

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

     .

     return $templater->render();

}



$preregistered['whatsgoingon'] = whats_going_on();

vB_Template::preRegister('FORUMDISPLAY', $preregistered);

What am I doing wrong that preregistering doesn't work inside a function?

I tested it out and for me it seems to work either way.

What hook location were you using?

kh99	01-17-2015 01:24 PM

Well, forumhome_start, because I originally got confused between forumdisplay and forumhome and couldn't get it to work either way. Then when I figured that out I just decided to change everything to FORUMHOME. So I suppose I could try with FORUMDISPLAY in case that makes a difference.

Edit: no, it still works both ways, using FORUMDISPLAY and hook forumdisplay_start.

If it's a Works-for-Peter-but-not-for-Paul situation I guess I better use what I have. I'm just tossing this product out for whoever wants to play with it and I don't want to have to help people write special code to get it going.

Thanks for testing it.
