Registering variables via plugin?

[HMBeaty]

For vBulletin 4+

Not sure if this can be done or not, but is it possible to register variables via a plugin? Or maybe there's something I'm missing in my code. This is the code I'm using atm:

PHP Code:

$fbimg = $vbulletin->options['usml_navnet_fbimg'];
$twitterimg = $vbulletin->options['usml_navnet_twitterimage'];
$rssimg = $vbulletin->options['usml_navnet_rssimage'];
$skypeimg = $vbulletin->options['usml_navnet_skypeimage'];
$ytimg = $vbulletin->options['usml_navnet_ytimage'];

$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= '
<a target="_blank" href="mysite1.com"><img style="margin:-2px 4px 6px 10px" src="/{vb:raw fbimg}" alt="" /></a>
<a target="_blank" href="mysite2.com"><img style="margin:-2px 4px 0 0" src="/{vb:raw twitterimg}" alt="" /></a>
<a target="_blank" href="mysite3.com"><img style="margin:-2px 4px 9px 0" src="/{vb:raw rssimg}" alt="" /></a>
<a target="_blank" href="mysite4.com"><img style="margin:-2px 4px 0 0" src="/{vb:raw skypeimg}" alt="" /></a>
<a target="_blank" href="mysite5.com"><img style="margin:-2px 4px 4px 0" src="/{vb:raw ytimg}" alt="" /></a>'; 


But the images aren't showing. The links are there, but no images. So I'm guessing $fbimg, $twitterimg, $rssimg, $skypeimg and $ytimg still need to be registered in order for them to show...

I thought you figured this out a while back.. I swear that browsed it a while back...

This is something different, but that tutorial is for doing it via php files. I tried adding:

PHP Code:

$templater->register('fbimg', $fbimg); 


to the plugin, but didn't seem to work....

You need to pre-register the variables in the template you need to use them:

vB_Template::preRegister('navbar', array(
'fbimg' => $fbimg,
'twitterimg' => $twitterimg,
'rssimg' => $rssimg,
'skypeimg' => $skypeimg,
'ytimg' => $ytimg,
));

Okay, now I'm tired.

Getting the same results as before with:

PHP Code:

$fbimg = $vbulletin->options['usml_navnet_fbimg'];
$twitterimg = $vbulletin->options['usml_navnet_twitterimage'];
$rssimg = $vbulletin->options['usml_navnet_rssimage'];
$skypeimg = $vbulletin->options['usml_navnet_skypeimage'];
$ytimg = $vbulletin->options['usml_navnet_ytimage'];

$fbimg = $templater->render();
$twitterimg = $templater->render();
$rssimg = $templater->render();
$skypeimg = $templater->render();
$ytimg = $templater->render();
vB_Template::preRegister('navbar',array(
     'fbimg' => $fbimg,
     'twitterimg' => $twitterimg,
     'rssimg' => $rssimg,
     'skypeimg' => $skypeimg,
     'ytimg' => $ytimg
));

$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= '
<a target="_blank" href="mysite1.com"><img style="margin:-2px 4px 6px 10px" src="/{vb:raw fbimg}" alt="" /></a>
<a target="_blank" href="mysite2.com"><img style="margin:-2px 4px 0 0" src="/{vb:raw twitterimg}" alt="" /></a>
<a target="_blank" href="mysite3.com"><img style="margin:-2px 4px 9px 0" src="/{vb:raw rssimg}" alt="" /></a>
<a target="_blank" href="mysite4.com"><img style="margin:-2px 4px 0 0" src="/{vb:raw skypeimg}" alt="" /></a>
<a target="_blank" href="mysite5.com"><img style="margin:-2px 4px 4px 0" src="/{vb:raw ytimg}" alt="" /></a>'; 


EDIT: Not even entirely sure if:

PHP Code:

$fbimg = $templater->render();
$twitterimg = $templater->render();
$rssimg = $templater->render();
$skypeimg = $templater->render();
$ytimg = $templater->render(); 


Needs to be in there or not

No, as you are not rendering any templates, just settings variable. What are in each of those variables?

Okay, I see what you are doing and it is never gonna fly. You're trying to pass an image in the variables, right?

Ok, didn't think so. For example though

PHP Code:

$fbimg 


should be printing out what's in

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->options['usml_navnet_fbimg'] 


which at the moment is facebook.png, and if I replaced

PHP Code:

src="/{vb:raw fbimg}" 


with

PHP Code:

src="/facebook.png" 


the image shows as it should.

[Boofo]

Try this:

$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= '
<a target="_blank" href="mysite1.com"><img style="margin:-2px 4px 6px 10px" src="{vb:raw fbimg}" alt="" /></a>
<a target="_blank" href="mysite2.com"><img style="margin:-2px 4px 0 0" src="{vb:raw twitterimg}" alt="" /></a>
<a target="_blank" href="mysite3.com"><img style="margin:-2px 4px 9px 0" src="{vb:raw rssimg}" alt="" /></a>
<a target="_blank" href="mysite4.com"><img style="margin:-2px 4px 0 0" src="{vb:raw skypeimg}" alt="" /></a>
<a target="_blank" href="mysite5.com"><img style="margin:-2px 4px 4px 0" src="{vb:raw ytimg}" alt="" /></a>'

Maybe

images/misc/facebook.png

the path relevant to your forums dir. And no / before the raw variable

[HMBeaty]

That didn't work either lol

No need to (pre)register the variables when you are using them right there in the plugin.

$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= ' <a target="_blank" href="mysite1.com"><img style="margin:-2px 4px 6px 10px" src="'.$fbimg.'" alt="" /></a>';
