need help : preregister| UPDATE - Need help displaying Template - SOLVED

[Vaupell]

trying to post a template right under new thread..
made a plugin hooked to newthread_form_start

want to add the template elock_frame

PHP Code:

$replacement = '{vb:raw attachmentoption}';
$placement = '<br />{vb:raw elock}';
$newplacement = $replacement . $placement; 

$templater = vB_Template::create('elock_frame'); 
$elock = $templater->render(); 
vB_Template::preRegister('newthread', array('elock' => $elock));  
 
$vbulletin->templatecache['newthread'] = str_replace($replacement, $newplacement, $vbulletin->templatecache['newthread']); 


EDIT : Updated codebox


Get following error
Catchable fatal error: Argument 2 passed to vB_Template:reRegister() must be an array, string given, called in C:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\emod\newthread.php(300) : eval()'d code on line 6 and defined in C:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\emod\includes\class_core.php on line 3852

----

First i render the template, and try to preregister it
so then later i add the str_replacemnet to add a {vb:raw var}

But as you can see, preregister dont allow var's only array's to be passed.
any ideas how to preregister then.

Lol thats crazy simple,,

It sorted the error, no errors and page loads fine now..
Just wondering why my template dont show

The template is empty and contains only following..

Template : elock_frame

<table width="100%">
<tr><td>Awsome testing</td></tr>
</table>

So i was exspecting to see the line Awsome testing somewhere on the page
but its blank.

Odd

gonna add Class="blockhead" just so i notice it when it appears at some point

I hadn't looked at your find/replace code.... you can't do find/replace on variables.

[Vaupell]

so instead of looking for {vb:raw attachmentoption}
i should find some code like normal html tags thats unique near that location ?

and instead of inseting {vb:raw elock} i should insert just plain $elock
maybe..

gonna try if it works..



EDIT : AAhh i see, i got it to show the {vb:raw elock} LoL
and found a place where i can use it for test,,

Now i gotta figure out how to insert template instead of {vb:raw


OKAY!!!

got it working..

Dropped the use of the template, and placed the box etc directly into the plugin, and
assigned the entire template content into the var $placement
and it worked table and all..


Thank you lynne.. /hugs
