Removing a comma

[smokey]

Trying to get the hang of the plugin system. I'm trying to remove the comma that separates the moderators on the moderator column. Eg it outputs mod1, mod2, mod3; basically i want to remove the comma and space for something I'm trying to accomplish. The thing is I do not want to do a file edit.

Here is the code from the function_forumlist.php

PHP Code:

                $showmods = array();
                $listexploded = explode(',', $forum['parentlist']);
                foreach ($listexploded AS $parentforumid)
                {
                    if (!isset($imodcache["$parentforumid"]) OR $parentforumid == -1)
                    {
                        continue;
                    }
                    foreach($imodcache["$parentforumid"] AS $moderator)
                    {
                        if (isset($showmods["$moderator[userid]"]))
                        {
                            continue;
                        }

                        ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('forumbit_moderator')) ? eval($hook) : false;

                        $showmods["$moderator[userid]"] = true;
                        if (!isset($forum['moderators']))
                        {
                            eval('$forum[\'moderators\'] = "' . fetch_template('forumhome_moderator') . '";');
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            eval('$forum[\'moderators\'] .= ", ' . fetch_template('forumhome_moderator') . '";');
                        }
                    }
                } 


I want to insert a hook (forumbit_moderator) that will stop the execution of the code

PHP Code:

                        $showmods["$moderator[userid]"] = true;
                        if (!isset($forum['moderators']))
                        {
                            eval('$forum[\'moderators\'] = "' . fetch_template('forumhome_moderator') . '";');
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            eval('$forum[\'moderators\'] .= ", ' . fetch_template('forumhome_moderator') . '";');
                        } 


And replace with

PHP Code:

                        $showmods["$moderator[userid]"] = true;
                        eval('$forum[\'moderators\'] = "' . fetch_template('forumhome_moderator') . '";'); 


Tried many things and just cannot get it to work right. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Just do whatever code you need in the hook, and use the continue statement, it will break out of the loop before doing the default vBulletin code.

I tired that first and got the following php syntax error:

Fatal error: Cannot break/continue 1 level in /home2/cmforums/public_html/includes/functions_forumlist.php(351) : eval()'d code on line 12

Ahhh it is probably the eval affecting it...hm...

Is there a hook after it somewhere? You could explode the string, and format it as you want before the template is evaled..
