A little confused now (calling a template)

[Lynne]

Really? Strange, because I have something almost exactly like that in a plugin and it works just fine:

PHP Code:

$find = '<label for="select_daysprune">'; 
$add_before = '<label style="display:inline" for="uid">'.$vbphrase[userid].'</label>
and more stuff 
'; 

$vbulletin->templatecache['moderation_filter'] = str_replace($find,$add_before.$find,$vbulletin->templatecache['moderation_filter']); 


I wonder if it's because you didn't preregister your variable after you defined it.

PHP Code:

vB_Template::preRegister('FORUMHOME', array('thistemplater ' => $thistemplater )); 


And, I doubt you need this line:

PHP Code:

$templater->register_page_templates(); 


[Omegatron]

yeah it does not like this line

$thistemplater .= $templater->render();

This is what I have blank white page. I am following the guides here

$thistemplater .= $templater->render();

vB_Template::preRegister('FORUMHOME', array('thistemplater ' => $thistemplater ));  

$search_text = '<div id="pagetitle">';
$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($search_text,$thistemplater.$search_text,$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);

Try

PHP Code:

This will output in the html source code:

This is <span style=\"font-weight: bold\">bold</span>

And, needless to say, the text will not be bold in the browser.

On the other hand:

PHP Code:

echo 'This is <span style="font-weight: bold">bold</span>'; 


will work just fine. No escapes there...

You must be using a different PHP than me. I just tested Lynne's code in a plugin and it works just fine. No parse error whatsoever.

I just threw this code into a mod of mine instead of the template hook it normally uses. This works perfectly fine for me.
Please post the complete code you are using.

If you dont know the scope of the entire discussion please do not be rude with comments like that.

$output = "This is <span style=\"font-weight: bold\">bold</span>";

Most definately needs to be escaped.

I have what I am doing done. This line is not liked is posted. I simply ended up creating a new hook location.

$thistemplater .= $templater->render();

Yes, this line needs to be escaped. However, the previous example (which came from you, originally!) used single quotes for the echo statement. You may want to reflect on that difference before calling me rude.

As I said, the whole thing you wanted to do works perfectly well for me in my plugin, and it obviously does for Lynne. Maybe you did not want to hear that, as you did not want to post your whole code, but that's your decision absolutely. Glad it worked out for you, even if using other ways than intended.
