Why do my var doesn't display in its template (sidebar) ?

I'm trying to integrate my chatbox to the sidebar on the forum

My bloc forum calls my template (which displays well
Chatbox [Archives]
output_template : $output)

my bloc content is :

Code:

$output='$output';

return $output;

and calls my template

If I put an echo $output in the forum.php file, it displays well at the top of the forum
But not in my template (whereas I put

Code:

{vb:raw output}

and declared the output var at then end of forum.php

Code:

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

I need help plizzz :D

I think your problem is this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$output='$output';

Since variables aren't evaluated in single quotes, you're setting the string to a literal $output. I don't think you need that line at all, just use return $output;

If I don t add it, the bloc disent display at all I think ...

I'm not exacly sure what you're trying to do. Where does $output get set?

Code:

//affichage widget dans forum

// CHATBOX

// SIDE BOX POUR CHATBOX

        global $show;

        global $output;

        

        // Core

        require_once(DIR . '/mgc_cb_evo/classes/class_core.php');     

    $MGCCbEvoCore = new MGCCbEvo_core(vB::$vbulletin,vB::$vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']); 

    $MGCCbEvoCore->unserialize_user_params(); 

    

    if ($MGCCbEvoCore->show_chatbox() && $MGCCbEvoCore->evo_permissions->can_view())

    {

                $show['mgc_cb_evo'] = 1;

                

                // Construct chatbox display 

                require_once(DIR . '/mgc_cb_evo/classes/class_display.php'); 

                require_once(DIR . '/mgc_cb_evo/addons/cms/classes/class_display.php'); 

                $MGCCbEvoDisplay = new CMS_MGCCbEvo_display(vB::$vbulletin,$MGCCbEvoCore); 



                // Display construction 

                $output = $MGCCbEvoDisplay->construct_display();  

//echo "output_fichier : $output";        

        }

        else

        {

                $show['mgc_cb_evo'] = 0;        

        

        }

The commented line //echo "output_fichier : $output"; if uncommented, displays the chatbox at the top of the page in my SC

whereas in my template, this

Code:

output template {vb:raw output} $output

Only displays : output template $output

The code you posted above, where so you have that? Is it in a plugin, in the forum block, or in forum.php?

You mentioned you template. What template is it, and where is the code that renders it? You said you added a call to $templater->register at the end of forum.php? Is hat where your template rendering code is, or are you adding it to the line for registering to FORUMHOME?

This code is my forum.php

I m trying to do a "plugin" to add the chatbox in the side bar !

The content of my bloc is

Code:

$output='$output';

return $output;

and this bloc displays this template chatboxtoutcourt whichs contains :

Code:

<li>

    <div class="block smaller">

        <div class="blocksubhead">

            <a class="collapse" id="collapse_block_html_mgccbevo" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top"><img alt="" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse_40b.png" id="collapseimg_html_mgccbevo"/></a>

            <span class="blocktitle">

                    Chatbox [<a href="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/{vb:raw vboptions.mgc_cb_evo_filename}.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=view_archives&amp;page=1">{vb:phrase mgc_cb_evo_archives}</a>]

            </span>

        </div>

        <div id="block_html_mgccbevo" class="blockbody floatcontainer">

            <div class="blockrow" align="center">

                                <div style="width:100%; height: {vb:raw vboptions.mgc_cb_evo_notifs_sidebar_height}px;overflow-y: auto;border: none; z-index: 1;" id="schats_container">

                                        <table width="100%" align="{vb:stylevar left}" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

                                                <tbody id="schats">

                                                        <tr>

                                                                <td>output template {vb:raw output} $output</td>

                                                          </tr>

                                                  </tbody>                                  

                                        </table>                  

                                </div>                                 

                        </div>

        </div>

    </div>

    <div class="underblock"></div>

</li>

But this fu**in' var doesn't display in my template, whereas with the echo it does !

OK, I think what you could do is to change the output part of the template to this:

Code:

<td>{vb:raw content}</td>

Then in the bloc code, do this:

PHP Code:


		
			
global $output;

return $output;

(although it might be better to use a variable other than $output). Because the sidebar code will automatically take what is returned and register it to 'content' in the block template. You just need to make sure that $output is set before the sidebar is rendered.

You could also put all the code in the bloc content area, and return $output at the end, but maybe you're not doing that because you need $show['mgc_cb_evo'] set before it gets to the block code?

Thank you it works great ! :)
