How using php/mysql in template into IF conditions

[fabioski]

I have read this manual:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=98009

How can I insert php code and mysql queries into the forum template?

For example, how can I print this:
<?
if ($aaa = 345) {
echo "<p>hello to world</p>";
}
?>

in the homepage page?

You use PHP code in plugins and assign data to variables in those plugins. Then you use the variables in your template. PHP code can not be directly run in templates.

I have create this plugin

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: showthread_complete
Title: Helloworld
Plugin PHP Code: 
$testoski = 'hello world';
Plugin is Active: Yes

Then in the template SHOWTHREAD I add:

<p>Plugin: $testoski</p>

But it doesn,t work.

That should work. Have you turned on the Plugin System in vBulletin Options?

also, keep in mind that your variable is ONLY going to show up in showthread.php AFTER the last postbit (per-page), considering the hook location.

if you're trying to run that plugin in the header, navbar, footer, etc.. it's not going to work unless you change the location to global_start

Now it works!
I hadn't active plugin/hook systems.
Thanks.
