I haven't tested this but it may be something like:

{vb:raw spacer_open}
{vb:raw spacer_close}

unless 4.x has a different mechanism.

Double check the brackets, I'm not sure if they are correct.

Nope.. they aren't correct. I already tried that before posting here

TalkVirginia is right:

{vb:raw spacer_open}
{vb:raw spacer_close}

You might need to pre register the variable, either in plugin or php file.

PHP Code:

vB_Template::preRegister('YOUR_TEMPLATE',array('spacer_open' => $spacer_open, 'spacer_close' => $spacer_close));

Can you tell me how to do that as a plugin?

Hi everyone

i have a php file that contain some variable and i tried to connect them together like a URL (link)
$folder = $folders = $vbulletin->options['folder'];
$subfolder = $folders = $vbulletin->options['subfolder'];
$file = $folders = $vbulletin->options['file'];

$url = $folder/$subfolder/$file;
then i got an error like

Warning: Division by zero in E:\xampp\htdocs\test\test.php on line 184

note: those code on line 184

any help or suggestion will be appreciated

or with those variable how can i put them in my template

If you are going to use your first example you need to enclose your slashes in quotes like so... $url = $folder . '/' . $subfolder . '/' . $file however I'm sure there is a better way of doing this. Maybe reading the folder path and parsing each part out into separate variables depending on what you want to do.

thank you very much TalkVirginia
it works

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

What's the difference between the "template hook" and "hook location?" Why aren't they the same thing? You've used "showthread_above_posts" template hook and "showthread_complete" hook.

[noppid]

The template hook, $template_hook['showthread_above_posts'] for example, is the variable you want to populate to display your data. The hook location, showthread_complete for example, is the hook in the php file that you use to load the template variable with your data by rendering a template for instance. You can select these hook locations in the plugin manager drop down when you create a new plugin.
