Creating Addons

[ozzy47]

If you want, pm me a admin account and I can see if I can figure it out when I get home today.

I eventually got this to work. Not sure why it won't work on my custom pages.

Anyway, is there any way to use the above code and have 10 different templates changed using an array or something like this?

PHP Code:

    if ($this->template == 'OLD TEMPLATE NAME 1')
    {
        $this->template = 'NEW TEMPLATE NAME 1';
    }
if ($this->template == 'OLD TEMPLATE NAME 2')
    {
        $this->template = 'NEW TEMPLATE NAME 2';
    }
if ($this->template == 'OLD TEMPLATE NAME 3')
    {
        $this->template = 'NEW TEMPLATE NAME 3';
    }
if ($this->template == 'OLD TEMPLATE NAME 4')
    {
        $this->template = 'NEW TEMPLATE NAME 4';
    } 


So instead of a new plugin for each template I change something in, I can do it all in one plugin.

Probably you did not cache your custom template. If it's not in the cache, there's nothing to replace. It will be queried directly from the database as is.

You don't need more than one plugin. You can put that code as is into one plugin. Of course you could also do something like

PHP Code:

$replace = array(
        'old1' => 'new1', 
        'old2' => 'new2',
        'old3' => 'new3'
    );

foreach ($replace as $key => $value)
{
    if ($this->template == $key)
    {
        $this->template = $value;
    }
}

Thanks for that. I will test it out.

I want to add something under the navbar. How do I add something to the end of the navbar temaplate OR include a template after the navbar? I'm not quite sure on using the pre-defined hooks or add new hooks into templates.

I havd a look and not sure what I am doing wrong. This is my plugin:

$templater = vB_Template::create('custom_template');
    $templater->register('custom_template', $custom_template);
    $template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts'] .= $templater->render();

It doesn't show the contents of custom_template after user posts using hook location postbit_display_complete.

Sorry, I never added the cache and it now shows. Does the code I used above look OK?

I have now added a new plugin for the forumhome using forumhome_complete hook location. I want it to show at the end of the navbar template. How do I insert my OWN custom template hook into the navbar template without having to manually edit the navbar template?

How do I add my own CSS to the additional.css template using a plugin?

[ozzy47]

You can't, you need to include your own css template, and call it in the script.

This is more for ozzy47 lol as I have used your mod [OzzModz] Change Forumrow Color On Mouseover as an example to make my own mod. I am making this plugin to change the background of moderated posts, does this look OK?

global $vbulletin;

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread') {
if ($vbulletin->options['mod_post_background_enable'])
{
    if ($vbulletin->options['storecssasfile'])
    {
        $template_hook['custom_css_links'] .= '<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="' . vB_Template::fetch_css_path() . 'mod_post_background_color.css' . '?d=' . $style['dateline'] . '" />';
    } else {
        $template_hook['custom_css_list'] .= 'mod_post_background_color.css';
    }

$find = '<div class=\"postbody\">'; 
$replace =  '<div class=\"postbody <vb:if condition="$show['moderated']">moderated</vb:if>\">'; 
$vbulletin->templatecache['postbit_legacy'] = str_replace($find, $replace, $vbulletin->templatecache['postbit_legacy']);
}
}

I am unsure if I escaped the quotes properly or if it is working. What's the quickest way to making a moderated post also?
