When creating a modification using a product, you can also use this method in a plugin.
Choose 'Cache_templates' and put the PHP code as:

PHP Code:

$variablename[] = 'templatename'; 

For example, when creating a template called 'booyar' and you use $booyar to call the template, you can add a plugin with:

PHP Code:

$booyar[] = 'booyar'; 

Hehe
Nice tutorial
Good job ^_^

I can't seem to get the right hang of this. If my script has different templates for different do actions (say ?do=edit, ?do=file, ?do=event, etc) how do I write the actiontemplates statement?

 $actiontemplates = array(
    'edit' => array(
        'template_name',
    ),
    'file' => array(
        'template_name',
    ),
    'event' => array(
        'template_name',
    )
);

);

Wow ... thanks for the quick reply! So, is the ?do portion ignored or assumed? For example, would ?act=edit, ?act=file, ?act=event be coded exactly the same way?

[Princeton]

it should be ?do=edit, ?do=file, ?do=event

if you use anything else cache the template(s) using $globaltemplates

Question, since this issue just popped up on my forum with Calorie's photoplog thumb hack. (here).

The only template call that I see in the .php file is this:

eval('$home[$mods[\'modid\']][\'content\'] = "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_photoplog_thumbs') . '";');

Would I just add $globaltemplates to the end of that, since it's not really an action template (it just displays thumbnails) or am I way off the mark?
