Manage Templates

[Snake]

Oh man thank you very much! I was on my way to request this as a tutorial.

If you are going to cache only one Template,

PHP Code:

$globaltemplates[] = 'xxxx'; 


might be better than array_merge().

[Oblivion Knight]

True, but using the array_merge() function allows additional templates to be added more easily.

How do I put 'include' and 'eval' for additional templates in a hook please?

thanks for

Grouping Custom Templates in the Admin CP

To use a template, you need to make available the variable for that template, before it is used in another template - ie a new $adsense template used in navbar template.

first cache the template as described:
cache_template
$globaltemplates[] = 'adsense';

Then add it to a variable for use:
global_start
eval('$adsense = "' . fetch_template('adsense') . '";');

Thank you. It worked partially for some reason.

Plugin:

$only['quiz'] = 'Quiz';
$only['Display'] = 'Flashchat';
$only['Top_Posters'] = 'Top Posters';
$only['top_statistics'] = 'Top Statistics';
$only['vbfavorites'] = 'vBFavorites';
$only['zointstags'] = 'Zoints Tags';
$only['tutorial'] = 'Tutorial';

The ones that did not get picked up are:

$only['Display'] = 'Flashchat';
$only['Top_Posters'] = 'Top Posters';

The prefix are correct for sure.

Edit: prefix must be lowercase.

One more thing, how do I have the groups listed in alphabetical order?

[pritesh_shah83]

I tried
$only['somegroup'] = 'Some Group';

I printed $only and it shows $only['somegroup'] => 'Some Group'

But, there is no group called Some Group in my Style Manager. Can you please help

[Dismounted]

Do you actually have a template prefixed with that prefix?
