Well yeah, "return" ends the plugin execution, but what I was saying is that it doesn't end the execution of fetch_template(), so if your plugin code doesn't set $fetched to true or set $vbulletin->templatecache["$template_name"], then fetch_template will go on and do it's work. And even if the plugin does one of those things, I don't think you'd want to increment the usage count since that will happen in any case.

Edit: I think I misunderstood the above post - what I was saying is if you were to for instance create a plugin that just contained a return, that wouldn't stop the rest of fetch_template from running. It's not exactly the same as insertng the code at the point the hook is eval'd. Also if the hook is called inside a loop you can't break or continue that loop from the plugin.

Maybe you knew all that and you assumed the code would be changed to remove that stuff, but I thought it could be clarified. Or maybe I'm missing something.
