How Can I use a custom template as a variable

[kh99]

Scroll down to the section that's labeled "Save into a variable for later use in custom template". Basically you save the output of render() into a variable, then you use it in another template like you would any other variable. If the "including" template is also one you're rendering in your code, then you can just register the variable as you would any other. If you want to include it in one of the existing vb templates, then you probably need to use vB_Template:reRegister() (search for that in the article linked above).

Using examples from the article,

PHP Code:

$templater = vB_Template::create('mytemplate1');
    $templater->register('my_var', $my_var);
    $templater->register('my_array', $my_array);
$mytemplate_rendered = $templater->render();
...
$templater = vB_Template::create('mytemplate2');
    $templater->register('my_template1', $mytemplate_rendered);
    $templater->register('my_array2', $my_array2);
$mytemplate2_rendered = $templater->render();
