include a custom template

[hollyboy]

Hi,

I made a custom template called "links" that basically contains a little box with few text links in.

Now I want to display that box under other templates so for example I've added:

$links

in the footer template.
Why doesn't it show that?

Thanks

1. make a template
2. new plugin: hook: cache_templates
code:

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index')
{
    $globaltemplates[] = 'yourtemplate';
} 


3. new plugin: hook: the side you want to put the template in!in my example the indexside(forumhome)

PHP Code:

eval('$yourtemplate = "' . fetch_template('yourtemplate') . '";'); 


now put $yourtemplate in the forumhome template
finished

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index') must be changed to for your site

I know this is old, but I don't understand some of the programming language

What are the variables here?

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index') 


I changed index to showthread and also tried postbit_legacy because I want it in the $mycode to show up in the postbit. Can anyone help

THIS_SCRIPT in defined in the top of all vBulletin files using define(). It let's you determine the accessed script (as long as it is defined). Have a look in the vBulletin files and you'll see.
