vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Help with plugin to output stuff in header

mojodeluxe · #1 01-31-2012, 03:25 AM

I want to harmonize my newly installed forum with the rest of my site. For this, I use xmlrpc to pull the site's html header in the hope of using same html code in the forum header.

I wrote the following plugin, using global_start as the hook. The code looks like this :

Code:

require_once('xmlrpclibrary.inc'); 
$m = new xmlrpcmsg('method.name'); 
  $c = new xmlrpc_client("/xmlrpc.php", "mydomain.com", 80); 
  $r = $c->send($m); 
  if (!$r->faultCode()) { 
      $v = $r->val->me['string']; 
  }

$myhtmlheader = print $v;

*************
And then I put {vb:raw myhtmlheader} in the header template. Unfortunately, the result is output before anything else on the page (before the html <head> tag, before the DOCTYPE even, etc.).

I've also tried to replace the last line with:

Code:

ob_start();
print $v;
$myhtmlheader = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean;

but that doesn't seem to output anything in the template.

Any idea about what I'm doing wrong ?

Many thanks
