I just started reading up on the vB api, and had some basic questions.

1) Isn't this the right way to assign a variable in a new template?

- test.php

PHP Code:


			
<?php 



// ######################## SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ########################### 

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 



// ##################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS ####################### 

// change the line below to the actual filename without ".php" extention. 

// the reason for using actual filename without extention as a value of this constant is to ensure uniqueness of the value throughout every PHP file of any given vBulletin installation. 



define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'test');  



// #################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ###################### 

// get special phrase groups 

$phrasegroups = array(); 



// get special data templates from the datastore 

$specialtemplates = array(); 



// pre-cache templates used by all actions 

$globaltemplates = array( 

        // change the lines below to the list of actual templates used in the script 

        'xb_test'); 



// pre-cache templates used by specific actions 

$actiontemplates = array(); 



// ########################## REQUIRE BACK-END ############################ 

require_once('./global.php'); 



// #################### HARD CODE JAVASCRIPT PATHS ######################## 

$headinclude = str_replace('clientscript', $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/clientscript', $headinclude); 



// ######################################################################## 

// ######################### START MAIN SCRIPT ############################ 

// ######################################################################## 



$navbits = array();  

// change the line below to contain whatever you want to show in the navbar (title of your custom page) 

$navbits[$parent] = 'Test page'; 



$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits); 

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";'); 



// change the line below to contain the name of the actual main output template used in your script 

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('xb_test') . '");'); 



?>

- A plugin (global_start hook) with
<?php
$abc = "test2";
?>

- The template xb_test with:

Quote:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
$headinclude
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
</head>
<body>

$header
$navbar

test1
$abc
test3

$footer
</body>
</html>

When i go to test.php it only shows "test1 test3". Why won't the variable work?

2) Which hook should I assign custom plugins to? They will only be used on custom pages/templates. I just I don't want vB to call functions when it's not necessary.

Thank you =)
