[HOW TO - vB4] Rendering templates and registering variables - a short guide

[Master Of Unive]

I think using member_build_blocks_start is much better than member_complete as it allows you to access function preRegister of vB_Template class.

JUst a quick question

Playing with 4.2.2

Tried using the $templater but no dice but (Sorted)

BUT !!!! eval does work ? is this right ?

PHP Code:

if ($_POST['do']  == 'start')
{
            eval('print_output("'. fetch_template('online_menu') . '");');

// Template show
$templater = vB_Template::create('online_menu');
$templater->register_page_templates();
print_output($templater->render());

}

$out[test] = $templater->render();
$ad_location['global_below_navbar'] .= $out; 


but not work???. I want auto add temp to below navbar.

Try this:

$templater = vB_Template::create('testtest');
$templater->register('var1', $var1);
$template_hook[global_below_navbar] .= $templater->render();

Help me please! What I`m do wrong?...
I trying show some info on showthread page.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

PHP Code:

<plugin active="1" executionorder="5">
    <title>RightSideBlock</title>
    <hookname>showthread_start</hookname>
    <phpcode><![CDATA[
$mynewvar = "MyNewVar";
$templater = vB_Template::create('rightside_on_showthread');
    $templater->register('mynewvar', $mynewvar);
$rightside_rendered = $templater->render();
    ]]></phpcode>
</plugin> 


------------------------------------------------------------------

<template name="rightside_on_showthread" templatetype="template" date="1337106668" username="taravasya" version="1.0.0"><![CDATA[
<div class="rightsideinfo">{vb:raw mynewvar}</div>
]]></template>

------------------------------------------------------------------
And so on SHOWTHREAD template I adding:

{vb:raw rightside_on_showthread}

------------------------------------------------------------------
But with no luck (((
In place in what I was want to add my info I have white space(without my div class="rightsideinfo" in inspector of page). But in debug info, I have not cached template rightside_on_showthread.

UPDATE -------------------------------------

I was thinking if I take vars into my own template, then I don`t need to use vB_Template:: preRegister for add my template in showthread. But I was wrong...))

PHP Code:

$templater = vB_Template::create('rightside_on_showthread');
    $templater->register('mynewvar', $mynewvar);
$rightside_rendered = $templater->render();
vB_Template::preRegister('SHOWTHREAD', array('rightside_rendered' => $rightside_rendered)); 


[taravasya]

Thanks, Lynne! Actually I wrote in a previous message, that I understood my mistake, but your variant helped me to make my code more succinctly! Thanks!

Another problem(((
In hook showthread_similarthreadbit I add next code:

PHP Code:

        $templater = vB_Template::create('rightside_similarthreadbit'); 
        $templater->register('simthread', $simthread); 
        $templatevalues .= $templater->render(); 
        vB_Template::preRegister('SHOWTHREAD', array('templatevalues' => $templatevalues)); 


Like this I have just ONE LAST result from query. What I have to do for have all results?
This hook added in showthread.php on 1978.
I was thinking, if this hook placed in a while cycle, I will have all results from this cycle. But no....

Hi
my plugin load in "showthread_complete" and it's code is:

PHP Code:

global $pagenumber, $perpage, $totalposts, $pagetitle, $threadinfo;

$totalpages = ceil($totalposts / $perpage);
$templater = vB_Template::create('opengraph_inshowthread');
$templater->register('pagenumber', $pagenumber);
$templater->register('totalposts', $totalposts);
$templater->register('perpage', $perpage);
$templater->register('totalpages', $totalpages);
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
$templater->register('pagedescription', $threadinfo['description']);
$template_hook['headinclude_bottom_css'] .= $templater->render(); 


and "opengraph_inshowthread" template code is:

<meta property="og:title" content="{vb:raw pagetitle} - page {vb:raw pagenumber} of {vb:raw totalpages} pages" />

But nothing adds to head. how to add my template to head?
I need to point out that I can not load the plugin in the "parse_template". Because the page number and other variable is not recognized in "parse_template".
and why "{vb:rawphrase thread.title}" not work in my template?
