And this is the plguin I am using to render the sidemenu .

PHP Code:

$templater = vB_Template::create('COTW_SIDEMENU');
$cotw_sidemenu = $templater->render();
vB_Template::preRegister('COTW_SOTW',array('cotw_sidemenu' => $cotw_sidemenu)); 


Then I just add the variable of the sidemenu to every php page (in the php file before the render output) and the sidemenu shows on every page. (but no variables that I use within the sidemenu template)

Try This:

PHP Code:

$templater = vB_Template::create('COTW_SIDEMENU');
$templater->register('php_include', $php_include);
$cotw_sidemenu = $templater->render();
vB_Template::preRegister('COTW_SOTW',array('cotw_sidemenu' => $cotw_sidemenu)); 


And

Plugin Hook: parse_templates

ob_start();
  require_once('test.php');
  $php_include .= ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
