[HELP] replace template with template plugin

[Dr.CustUmz]

it works, but it breaks my other plugin, this is what i have

<plugin active="1" executionorder="5">
		<title>DRC - Whos On Avatar</title>
		<hookname>forumhome_loggedinuser</hookname>
		<phpcode><![CDATA[require_once('./includes/functions_user.php');
      $loggedin[avatarurl] = fetch_avatar_url($loggedin[userid]);
      if (!$loggedin[avatarurl]) {
        $loggedin[avatarurl] = $stylevar['imgdir_misc'] . '/noavatar.png';
      } else {
        $loggedin[avatarurl] = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/' . $loggedin[avatarurl][0];
      }]]></phpcode>
    </plugin>
    <plugin active="1" executionorder="5">
		<title>DRC - Whos On Avatar FH</title>
		<hookname>forumhome_complete</hookname>
		<phpcode><![CDATA[
    eval('$drc_act_av = "' . fetch_template('drc_act_av') . '";');
      $activeusers = $drc_act_av;
    ]]></phpcode>
    </plugin>

i have tried changing the first plugin to different hooks also, but i cant get it to load the variables i need it to

the html is spitting out

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: drc_act_av -->
<a href="member.php?u="><img src="" height="40px" width="auto" border="0" alt=""></a>
<!-- END TEMPLATE: drc_act_av -->

when it should be: (in red)

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: drc_act_av -->
<a href="member.php?u=12"><img src="avatars/users/12.gif?dateline=1456633560" height="40px" width="auto" border="0" alt=""></a>
<!-- END TEMPLATE: drc_act_av -->

doing both plugins in one how i had does work but again not the desired way

<plugin active="1" executionorder="5">
		<title>DRC - Whos On Avatar</title>
		<hookname>forumhome_loggedinuser</hookname>
		<phpcode><![CDATA[require_once('./includes/functions_user.php');
      $loggedin[avatarurl] = fetch_avatar_url($loggedin[userid]);
      if (!$loggedin[avatarurl]) {
        $loggedin[avatarurl] = $stylevar['imgdir_misc'] . '/noavatar.png';
      } else {
        $loggedin[avatarurl] = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/' . $loggedin[avatarurl][0];
      }
      $vbulletin->templatecache['forumhome_loggedinuser'] = fetch_template('drc_act_av');]]></phpcode>
    </plugin>
