Using vB code in Plugin?

[Marc.F]

Hi guys and gals,

I am wondering if you can use vBulletin code in a nav. Such as:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show[\'member\']">
        <td class="vbseo_vbmenu_control"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td>
    </if>
    <if condition="$show[\'registerbutton\']">
        <td class="vbseo_vbmenu_control"><a href="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[register]</a></td>
    </if>
    $template_hook[navbar_buttons_left]
    <td class="vbseo_vbmenu_control"><a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[faq]</a></td>
    <td class="vbseo_vbmenu_control"><a href="memberlist.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td>
    <td class="vbseo_vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>
    <if condition="$show[\'popups\']">        
        <if condition="$show[\'searchbuttons\']">
            <if condition="$show[\'member\']">
            <td class="vbseo_vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>
            <else />
            <td class="vbseo_vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td>
            </if>
            <td id="navbar_search" class="vbseo_vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search]</a> <if condition="$show[\'quicksearch\']"><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_search"); </script></if></td>
        </if>
        <if condition="$show[\'member\']">
            <td id="usercptools" class="vbseo_vbmenu_control"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#usercptools" accesskey="3">$vbphrase[quick_links]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("usercptools"); </script></td>        
        </if>
    <else />        
        <if condition="$show[\'searchbuttons\']">
            <td class="vbseo_vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="4">$vbphrase[search]</a></td>
            <if condition="$show[\'member\']">
            <td class="vbseo_vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>
            <else />
            <td class="vbseo_vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td>
            </if>
        </if>
        <td class="vbseo_vbmenu_control"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a></td>
        <if condition="$show[\'member\']">            
            <td class="vbseo_vbmenu_control"><a href="#" onClick="window.open(\'misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=buddylist&amp;focus=1\',\'buddylist\',\'statusbar=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=250,height=300\'); return false;">$vbphrase[open_buddy_list]</a></td>            
        </if>            
    </if>
    $template_hook[navbar_buttons_right]
    <if condition="$show[\'member\']">
        <td class="vbseo_vbmenu_control"><a href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=logout&amp;logouthash=$bbuserinfo[logouthash]" onClick="return log_out(\'$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]\')">$vbphrase[log_out]</a></td>
    </if> 


If I try it, it only prints it. I think this is because its looking for actual PHP? Do I have to enclose this code within some tags for vBulletin to execute it?

Cheers,
