New Templates and registering variables

[clubvr4]

Hi, thanks for that.

I tried copy pasting your code in but it didnt work - the notifications drop down isnt showing the number or notification info on the drop down.

Im still not sure on how this works, can i break this down they way i see if and determine how close/far of the mark i am?


1. This part grabes the code from the custom template i created.

$templater = vB_Template::create('CVR4_searchprofile');

2. I presume this should be registering the menubits, based on? - classboot.php?

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

3. renders the above?

$CVR4_searchprofile = $templater->render();

4. This pre-registers the navbar template, but for what purpose? - I note that if i change the navbar to say header or footer, my template doesnt appear on the site.

vB_Template:reRegister('navbar', array('CVR4_searchprofile' => $CVR4_searchprofile));

5. This part actually presents the code to the user?

$templater->render();

I also followed this guide and tried moving the notifications code to the footer, but it didnt work either yet, the post suggest it work for the TheLastSuperman..

I've just upgraded to 4.1.11, has something changed to prevent this? - I checked the update notes but couldnt see anything obvious.

Thanks

Thinking abit, is it navbar because thats where the {vb:raw resides?
