That is incredibly helpful, thank you so much.

So something like this?

Code:

$search_text = '$vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests]</phrase>)';
$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($search_text,
$search_text.fetch_template('silly_newbie_template'),$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);

Then make a template called silly_newbie_template, with:

Code:

$vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests]</phrase>) Invisible: $numberinvisible

And that would technically replace [the default string] with [the default string + my snippet], correct?

Edit:

I'm reading Kerry-Anne's post here on how to go about actually creating the template.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1018718

So I know I have to include this somewhere:

Code:

eval('$mytemplate = "' . fetch_template('silly_newbie_template') . '";');

So here's what I've got now:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<product productid="chris777_showinvisible" active="1">
<title>Show Invisible Users Online</title>
<description>Will add a count of invisible users in WGO.</description>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<dependencies></dependencies>
<codes></codes>
	<templates>
		<template name="silly_newbie_template" templatetype="template" username="chris-777" version="1.0.0">
		<![CDATA[
		<!-- Newbie Template -->
		$vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests]</phrase>) Invisible: $numberinvisible  
		<!-- /Newbie -->
		]]>
		</template>
	</templates>
<plugins>
	<plugin active="1" executionorder="1">
		<title>Show Invisible in WOL</title>
			<hookname>forumhome_loggedinuser</hookname>
			<phpcode><![CDATA[
				$search_text = '$vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests]</phrase>)';
				$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($search_text,
				$search_text.fetch_template('silly_newbie_template'),$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);]]>
			</phpcode>
		<phrases>
		<phrasetype name="GLOBAL" fieldname="global">
			<phrase name="online_invisible">
			 <![CDATA[ Invisible:  ]]> 
			</phrase>
		</phrasetype>
	</phrases>
</product>

This (I think) should make the template:

Code:

	<templates>
		<template name="silly_newbie_template" templatetype="template" username="chris-777" version="1.0.0">
		<![CDATA[
		<!-- Newbie Template -->
		$vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests]</phrase>) Invisible: $numberinvisible  
		<!-- /Newbie -->
		]]>
		</template>
	</templates>

And this should grab it and put it in place of the text I'm looking to replace:

Code:

	<phpcode><![CDATA[
		$search_text = '$vbphrase[x_members_and_y_guests]</phrase>)';
		$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($search_text,
		$search_text.fetch_template('silly_newbie_template'),$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);]]>
	</phpcode>

Assuming I'm right, or close (heheh) so far, I've naturally got a few more questions.

- Since I'm search/replacing, do I need to use forumhome_loggedinuser for the hook? Or should I use cache_templates?
- Do I need to specify executionorder if there's only one plugin in the product?
- Am I at least getting close, or should I just give up now? :bunny:

Thanks very much again, I really do appreciate it.
