I can't convert my custom pages until i know how to access and loop with templates again. It is nice to know how to access one single var or single var in an array but how to loop? I did try my luck with ... (but without any success, yet ...)

Template i need to loop for output

PHP Code:

$namelist = vB_Template::create('names_loop')->render(); 


And the template that should display the whole looped conteend

PHP Code:

$templater = vB_Template::create('NAMES');
$templater->register('names', $data);
$templater->register('names_loop', $namelist);
print_output($templater->render()); 


$data is an array like

PHP Code:

$data = array(0 => array('name' => 'testuser', 'age' => 100), 1 => array('name' => 'testuser 2', 'age' => 99)); 


My "NAMES" template looks like this ...

<div>{vb:raw names_loop}</div>

My "names_loop" template looks like this ...

<div style="magin: 10px; padding: 10px;">
  <div>{vb:raw names.name}</div>
  <div>{vb:raw names.age}</div>
</div>

So far i can access all the vars in my array with {vb:var names.0.name} or {vb:var names.0.age} but i can't use it in templates to loop an output.

Can anyone help, please?

Thanks.

I'm trying to use a variable in SHOWTHREAD, but it's not showing for some reason.

Hook Location: showthread_start
variable: $msgbox
template variable: {vb:raw msgbox}

What can be wrong?

What can be wrong?

Depending on where you want to place it. For example, if you want to place above the thread, use the showthread_above_posts template hook, then create a plugin using the showthread complete hook location. If you open showthread.php, examine around line 2176 and below.

Try this example:

1. Add a new custom template with the following contents:

Product: vBulletin (or if you are creating a mod, choose your product id)
Style: Style of your choice
Title: mytemplate

<div id="pagetitle" class="pagetitle">
	<h1>Thread: <span class="threadtitle">{vb:raw msgbox}</a></span></h1>
</div>

2. Create a new plugin:
Product: vBulletin (or if you are creating a mod, choose your product id)
Hook Location: showthread_complete
Execution Order: Leave as default
Plugin PHP Code:

PHP Code:


$msgbox = "Hello World";
$templater = vB_Template::create('mytemplate');
$templater->register('msgbox', $msgbox);
$template_hook[showthread_above_posts] .= $templater->render(); 


Plugin Is Active: Yes

Thanks, it's working now

Does anyone know how to get forumIDs and bbuserinfo from this new system?

I'm trying to use it as follows, but it doesn't work...

header.php?fid={vb:var forum.forumid}&pid={vb:var bbuserinfo.field9}

I'm trying to use this in the HEADER template. It seems that you can no longer call forum and user information in the header template. So it seems forcing specific headers to specific forums is IMPOSSIBLE in VB4.

How would we use $vbulletin->options in this?

I am trying to use {vbptions media_thumb_dir} but its not working...

[James T Brock]

So basically the variables were changed for no reason just so that non-coders could understand it? Those new variables look a lot more confusing to me.

[Zachery]

Not sure why it was changed, but Jaxel:

{vb:raw vboptions.media_thumb_dir}
