I'm trying to create a custom template for vb4.
Following is the situation :

On my forum root, i have aa.php (Located at ../my_forum_root/aa.php) which includes bb.php located under ../my_forum_root/bb/bb.php

bb.php contains following code :

Code:

<?php
$test="test 123";
?>

I have created a template under main style and trying to print data under $test variable.

aa.php contains following code :

Code:

<?php
include('bb/bb.php');
// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'aa');
define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);  
// change this depending on your filename

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array();

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array();

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array('aa',
);

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array();

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

// #######################################################################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// #######################################################################

$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'aa'));
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);

// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####
$pagetitle = 'test 123';

// ###### NOW YOUR TEMPLATE IS BEING RENDERED ######
$templater = vB_Template::create('aa');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
print_output($templater->render());

?>

Template "aa" under main style contains following code :

Code:

{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">
  <head>
    <title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</title>
    {vb:raw headinclude}
  </head>
  <body>
    
    {vb:raw header}
    
    {vb:raw navbar}
        
    <div id="pagetitle">
      <h1>{vb:raw pagetitle}</h1>
    </div>
    
    <h2 class="blockhead">TEST ABC</h2>
    <div class="blockbody">
      <div class="blockrow">
{vb:raw contents}
      </div>
    </div>
    
    {vb:raw footer}
  </body>
</html>

However above code aint working for me.
Am i missing something??
I would like to know how do i render data under some variable in vb4 templates.

add

Code:

$templater->register('test', $test);

You have to register all variables you would like to use.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
