How do I assign a trigger(?) to a template?

I created a template that mentions all the super mods and admins of the board. We used to have it in the header, but with more styles, differing from each other, it gets a bit complicated to update it if needed.

So what I want is to assign a trigger like $modslist or something, so I can put that in each header and have it called from the template that way.

How would I do that?

Whenever I want to add something like this I usually do it in my global.php.

I have a button appear on the top of my header for my moderators to link to the moderator cp. In my global.php I entered this code

PHP Code:


		
			
if (($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6 or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5 or $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7)) {

        $modbutton="<a href=\"http://www.abudokan.com/mod_directory/index.php\"><img src=\"http://www.abudokan.com/images/top_mod.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Moderator Panel\"></a>";

    } else {

        $modbutton='';

    }

above

PHP Code:


		
			
$header='';

I hope I read your question right and was able to answer for you.

This isn't quite what I need though.

Basically I want to be able to put "$modslist" in a template, and it would show whatever "$modslist" is assigned as. I want "$modslist" to actually show the template called "modslist".

Is this clear enough? I really don't know how to explain this better.

It really depends on where you're going to use it. If you're sure you'll be using it on several pages, then you may want to edit global.php and define $modslist there. On the other hand, if you know you're probably only going to use it on the main page, or the forumdisplaypage, you'd want to define $modslist there. The idea is that you don't want to clutter global.php with a bunch of extra code, if you really don't need it there.

So step 1: where are you doing to use it?

As for defining the variable (step 2), this takes a little experience with MySQL and the vB functions and database class. You just need to create a query that returns the moderators for the given forum and pass those values into $modslist.

As for the specific code, hopefully someone will be able to help you, if you need it.

This is the string to use to assign your term to a template:

PHP Code:


		
			
eval("\$my_message .= \"".gettemplate("my_message")."\";");

I just replace my_message with whatever I need, right?

Thanks a lot.
