[Solved] variables in settings of product not work

[omardealo]

Hello ,

in my product ,i have a textarea setting and print it in a template
i try to put a vb variables in this option
like this

PHP Code:

$vboptions[bburl]
$bbuserinfo[userid] 


but not worked ...

If you want to allow variables in your setting text, you need to use a plugin to eval() the text before using it in a template. For example:

eval('$my_setting = "' . $vbulletin->options[my_option] . '";');

Then use $my_setting in your template. If you do this, you should be aware that anyone who has access to the settings can execute any php code they want.

Using eval will allow you to use variables in your text. If you also want to use template tags (for example, <if condition=...), then you would need to use the template compiler.

Thank you very much kh99 ,
i do this but not worked too

i used

PHP Code:

$points_pages 


in a templat ... text does not appear at all

PHP Code:

eval('$points_pages = "' . $vbulletin->options[points_pages] . '";');

Which hook did you use for your plugin, and which template are you putting the variable in?

hook : misc_start

code :

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'points')
{ 
$navbits = construct_navbits(array(
        '' => 'points'
    ));

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('points_page') . '");');
eval('$pointspages = "' . $vbulletin->options[pointspages] . '";');

} 


i also try only eval() in hook : golbal_start and i put the variable $pointspages in header template ,to make sure the code is right but not worked too .


Thank you again

Hmm...OK, try this:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_misc.php');
eval('$points_pages = "' . replace_template_variables($vbulletin->options[points_pages], true) . '";');

I think the variables $vboptions and $bbuserinfo may be shortcuts that only work templates, so the function replace_template_variables() will replace them with the longer version. (I haven't tried the above code, hopefully there aren't any errors).

thnx , kh99
i'm Sorry ... this code not worked too

[kh99]

Oh, I didn't notice before, in your code you've done the eval() after the template eval() and it would have to be before. So try this code:

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'points')
{ 
$navbits = construct_navbits(array(
        '' => 'points'
    ));

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_misc.php');
eval('$pointspages = "' . replace_template_variables($vbulletin->options[points_pages], true) . '";');
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('points_page') . '");');

} 


And use $pointspages in your template (you have $point_pages above - of course you can use either one but make sure it is the same everywhere).

yes i know names of variables it not a problem , i take care and sure a bout it
look , i try everything

when i used ur code , and i put $vboptions[bbtitle] in setting
show me this error

PHP Code:

 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in misc.php(100) : eval()'d code(7) : eval()'d code on line 1 


and if i used code like this not show me error but also not show anthing

PHP Code:

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('points_page') . '");');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_misc.php');
eval('$pointspages = "' . replace_template_variables($vbulletin->options[points_pages], true) . '";'); 


Thank you for your interest and suggestion!

As I mentioned before, your eval for $pointspages must be before the eval for your template. In fact, the function print_output() ends the script and never returns, so anything you put after that will not be executed (which is probably why the error goes away).

I'm trying to do this without trying it myself, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Maybe try this code:

PHP Code:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_misc.php');
eval('$pointspages = replace_template_variables("' . $vbulletin->options[points_pages] . '");');
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('points_page') . '");'); 


What is the text in your pointpages option? Is the text you posted above what you're using now? I'm asking because if it contains any quote characters that could cause problems.
