Variable set in GLOBAL_COMPLETE plugin is empty in POSTBIT_LEGACY template

[voteforbird]

When I set a variable with a plugin in global_complete, for instance like this:

$variable=1;

when I try to use it in the postbit_legacy template in a conditional, it has no value. Why is this happening?

The postbit is evaluated inside a function, so the variable won't have scope there.

You could always give it global scope inside one postbit hooks (postbit_dipslay_start) or use $GLOBALS[variable] instead of $variable in your template. Here is the PHP version

PHP Code:

global $variable;

I'm a little confused about your instructions. I tried *only* using $GLOBALS[variable] in the postbit, and that didn't work. You're saying the other option is to *only* add a new plugin at postbit_display_start with contents "global $variable;"? Or am I mistaken?

Thanks.

[Adrian Schneider]

Correct. Both should work though.

I tried them and neither worked. If you could possibly help test, I am using this product: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=129418 and using the variable $banner_no in the postbit.

Nevermind… got it to work Thanks!
