PHP Hook not working

[mcyates]

I have a hook on vb 3.5 which is the following:

product: vbulletin

hook location: ajax_start

Title: adverts

Plugin PHP code:

<?php
ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../');
include ('myfootball-ads.php');
echo $ad_network;
?>

Plugin Active: Yes

and this works fine when i put the $ad_network code in the footer, but its not showing up when i put it on the new version of vb version 3.6 BETA 4.

Why is this?

Thanks in advance.

No idea, the hook hasn't moved - it does however seem a very odd hook to use for adding things to your footer ?

All i need to do is include the file myfootball-ads.php which is it the forums root directory.

I've created a php file called ads.php and put the code (in the first post) into it and it works. I just don't understand why it doesn't work now?

Is it all correct for it to be displayed in the footer template?

i've put the code above into a file www.myfootballforum.com/ads.php and it works fine so why isn't the hook above working? Its doing my head in.

Sorry but I'm still confused, why are you using (or trying to use) the hook ajax_start ?

Isn't that the first hook location given to you? I'd imagine that he didn't select a location, rather just left it as is. I believe the correct hook location for you would be global_start, assuming you want whatever you're trying to display on every footer of every page.
