[HELP] replace template with template plugin

[MarkFL]

In one of my vB 3.8.x mods, I wanted to replace the output from the "newpost_threadmanage" template with the output from a custom template. The output from the default template is displayed in the "newreply" template in the variable $threadmanagement. So, what I did was create a plugin hooked at "newreply_form_complete" with the following PHP code:

PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->options['markfl_report_prefixes_enabled'])
{
    eval('$new_template = "' . fetch_template('markfl_report_newpost_threadmanage') . '";');
    $threadmanagement = $new_template;
} 


In vB 4.2.x you can more directly replace one template with another, but this was the workaround I devised for vB 3.8.x.
