hook location not in plugin manager

[ageurtse]

i have found a hook location in template memberaction_dropdown called {vb:raw template_hook.memberaction_dropdown_items}

but i can't find it back in the plugin manager, where is it or how can i add this hook location in the plugin manager.

template_hooks are different than regular hooks. template_hooks are for inserting html into them from a plugin, like:

PHP Code:

$template_hook['memberaction_dropdown_items'] .= 'Some html here.';

That is a template hook. It is not meant to be in the plugin manager.

The hooks in the plugin manager are for adding code to the core vbulletin files with out actually editing the files.

Oke and where do i put this extra html data. I thought i do it by plugin but which one does it.
Can i use somthing lik forum start or something like that. In there i file THE template hook witheet html

You need to pick a plugin that is eval prior to the template being evaled. You can try forumhome_start and see if it works for you. It really depends on what page you are doing this on.

i wish to add a extra icon to the members popup thing.
where you could go to the members page and pm and that kind of stuff.

i try some plugin hook locations.

The members popup things on *what* page? They show up on several pages. You need to access a hook that is used when that particular popup is being rendered. For instance, if you were adding it to the posts on the showthread page, you would use the postbit_display_complete hook since that hook is accessed when the individual posts are being rendered. You need to do similar for wherever else you are wanting to add this.

It must be displayed on every page, where you can click on a
members name.

You are going to need several plugins then.

Take a look at my Useful links modification in my profile and see how I did it.
