hook location not in plugin manager

[ageurtse]

i have found a hook location which works but now i have a new problem.

this is what i do but the template variables don't work when they called from within a plugin.
is there a way to inject these variables into the template.

the tekst "show attachments" is displayed at the left side in the members drop down menu

hook location is forumhome_start

this is my code

PHP Code:

$template_hook['memberaction_dropdown_items'] .= '
<li class="left">
<a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw memberinfo}}&tab=AJGattach">
<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_siteicons}/profile.png" alt="" />
show attachments
</a>
</li>
';

You cannot put template syntax into template hooks in that manner.

Think of it as like using the php echo command, and build the output you want as a string.

Oke that i can do.

i still have a problem

i made a plugin which create a temple and output its content to a hook location

this is the plugin code

PHP Code:

$templater = vB_Template::create('add extra field to popupbox');
$template_hook['memberaction_dropdown_items'] .= $templater->render(); 


this is my template

<li class="left">
  <a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw memberinfo}}&tab=AJGattach">
  <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_siteicons}/profile.png" alt="" />
  show attachments
  </a>
</li>

now think this part isn't working {vb:raw memberinfo},this should get the userid from where whe hit the right mouse button.
why isn't it getting the members id.

I do believe you have to add

$global memberinfo

at the top of your plugin.

[ageurtse]

In the plugin? I think

You need tor register the variable memberinfo for use in your template.

Yeah that too, I totally over looked that.

What hook did you end up using for this?

I can't get memberinfo to be a global in any of the hooks I've tried so far.

Thanks.

you can add it to "template_render_output" plugin will show on all needed popups

when also using the template hook $template_hook['memberaction_dropdown_items'] =
