Hello everyone, I have been reading this article over and over again trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. Basically I am trying to put the contents of one template into another using a plug in. The template in question are:
-OFTW
-COFTW_FAQ
I want to be able to put the contents of template COFTW_FAQ into a variable that I can then use in OFTW template. I am using a script (oftw.php) which uses the OFTW template; I need to be able to insert the contents of COFTW_FAQ into that template using a plug-in. So this is what I have so far:
Plug-in 1: Hook: Global Start
PHP Code:
$templater = vB_Template::create('COFTW_FAQ');
$templater->register('oftw_faq', $oftw_faq);
$mytemplate_rendered = $templater->render();
Plug-in 2: Hook: Global Start
PHP Code:
$templater = vB_Template::create('OFTW');
$templater->register('COFTW_FAQ', $mytemplate_rendered);
$mytemplate2_rendered = $templater->render();
And I am using the following variable to call the contents of COFTW_FAQ into OFTW template:
With no avail; I get a blank where the content of the variable should be. Any ideas what I am doing wrong anyone??
Please Help I have been hitting myself in the head for the last 4 hours!

UPDATE!!!
After more thinking... I can see that I was a bit off, I am now using only plug in to try and accomplish what I want but still just blank...
Hook Location: Process Templates Complete
PHP Code:
$templater = vB_Template::create('OFTW_FAQ');
$oftw_faq = $templater->render();
vB_Template::preRegister('OFTW',array('oftw_faq ' => $oftw_faq));
Using: {vb:raw oftw_faq} in the OFTW template but still nothing... Am I getting closer???

GOT IT!!! FINALLLLY!!!!! xD
I had to just register my variable in the actual oftw.php file . Since it was a custom page the script did not have the variable registered so I added
PHP Code:
$templater->register('oftw_faq', $oftw_faq);
to the oftw.php file and added the last plug-in above and voila! Perfect!! This opens up a whole new world for me.

Anywho, just thought i'd share my conquering
