Intergrating external pages into usercp's USERCP_SHELL design?

[The-Ensemble]

I have a plugin that Is finally working (thanks to Paul M)

Here is the code for it:

PHP Code:

if (in_array($_REQUEST['do'], array('contributors')))
{



    // disable other displays
    $vbulletin->bf_ugp_genericoptions['showgroup'] = 0;
    $vbulletin->options['forumleaders'] = 0;
    
    

    $groupcache = array();
    while ($user = $db->fetch_array($users))
    {
        $user = array_merge($user , convert_bits_to_array($user['options'], $vbulletin->bf_misc_useroptions));

        if ($user['userid'])
        {
            $t = strtoupper($user['title']);
            $u = strtoupper($user['username']);
            $groupcache["$t"]["$u"] = $user;
        }
    }

    $usergroups = '';
    if (sizeof($groupcache) >= 1)
    {
        foreach ($groupcache AS $users)
        {
            ksort($users); // alphabetically sort users
            $usergroupbits = '';
            foreach ($users AS $user)
            {
                exec_switch_bg();
                $user = process_showgroups_userinfo($user);

                if ($user['receivepm'] AND $vbulletin->userinfo['receivepm'] AND $permissions['pmquota'] AND $vbulletin->options['enablepms'])
                {
                    $show['pmlink'] = true;
                }
                else
                {
                    $show['pmlink'] = false;
                }

                if ($user['showemail'] AND $vbulletin->options['displayemails'] AND (!$vbulletin->options['secureemail'] OR ($vbulletin->options['secureemail'] AND $vbulletin->options['enableemail'])))
                {
                    $show['emaillink'] = true;
                }
                else
                {
                    $show['emaillink'] = false;
                }

                eval('$usergroupbits .= "' . fetch_template('showgroups_usergroupbit') . '";');
            }

            eval('$usergroups .= "' . fetch_template('showgroups_usergroup') . '";');
        }
    }
    $customgroups = $usergroups;

} 


and I have this; which I know integrates pages into usercp's look with the links and navbar.

PHP Code:

$headinclude = str_replace('clientscript', $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/clientscript', $headinclude);

$navbits = array('usercp.php' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q'] => $vbphrase['user_control_panel']);
$navbits[''] = "New Page Title";


    $navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
    eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
    eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('blah') . '";');
    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('USERCP_SHELL') . '");'); 


I think the main problem is changing

PHP Code:

eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('blah') . '";'); 


this to wrap around the rest of the code, I tried to mesh them together and its not worked, any Help?

Did you put this $HTML anywhere in USERCP_SHELL template?

Is already in the template by default

Did you make a new template called 'blah'? stick all your content in that template, including any variables you will use.

The templates and how it works is all defined in the php code I posted first, I need to know how to put what I've got defined into the the usercp design, I've done it before by using that fetchtemplate ' blah' thing, but I need to change that so fetchtemplate is replaced with the php code I posted first and I don't know how to do it.

Try Changing

PHP Code:

eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('blah') . '";'); 


To:

PHP Code:

$HTML = $usergroups;
// if the above DOES (not a typo) work...try using $HTML =& $usergroups; instead 


[WhaLberg]

Opserty, what I meant was, if you set a template var in php and if you don't call it in the main template, it won't work out.

Oh thank you! works! but erm the usergroup title doesn't seem to be showing up, I'll define the plugin as a script then use an if condition see if I can do it that way, thank again! and thanks to everyone else who tried to help! :up::up:

Erm, the script thing didn't work.

Oh another thought how could I convert this into a HTML if condition?

PHP Code:

if (in_array($_REQUEST['do'], array('contributors')))

I don't know I think thats more a problem with your script then anything else.

Its a vB conditional not HTML

Technically it would be:

<if condition="in_array($_REQUEST['do'], array('contributors'))">
    BLAH
</if>

(I think)
However it would be better to use:

<if condition="$_REQUEST['do'] == 'contributors'">
    BLAH
</if>

(You could also you the code within the 'condition' attribute in your PHP code.

[The-Ensemble]

<if condition="in_array($_REQUEST['do'], array('contributors'))">
BLAH
</if>

That one worked perfectly! Thanks again!

This may be a long show but do you think there is a simple thing I could add into the code to make users with addition usergroup = 12 show up as well? the current one shows only primary users. *crosses fingers*
