How Do I Make XML plugin which update template ?

[Dr.Designer]

Hi Everybody,

I want to make XML file which can be uploaded from the ( Products & Plugins Management ) and do the following: update the template "forumhome" by putting a certain HTML code in the top of the template. This HTML code will be just a simple code, with no variables and displays a simple form.

I tried to read the vBulletin API manual & the normal manual and after a lot of searches I did not find a method to create the XML file to do that.

Any help for this issue would be much appreciated.

thanx in advance

There are varying opinions on this approach, but if you are looking to prepend something to the FORUMHOME template, try the parse_templates or forumhome_complete hook:

$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = 'your stuff' . $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'];
