Okay... I've changed my code in this examples to be easier to read...

In VB3, the way I would do nested template callups would be as follows:

Code:

while ($media = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($recent_media))
{
	eval('$recentbits .= "' . fetch_template('media_browsebit') . '";');
}

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('media_browse') . '");');

Simple, the SQL queries the database for a list of media, then pops the media in the while loop, which puts each video into the "media_browsebit" template. Then it prints out the shell template, with $recentbits being called somewhere inside. However, as we all know, these function callups like EVAL don't work in VB4 anymore. So reading this thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228078 I have been trying to figure out how to do it now. But this guide is very confusing and doesn't really go into nested templates...

Code:

while ($media = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($recent_media))
{
	$templater = vB_Template::create('media_browsebit');
	$recentbits = $templater->render();  
}

$templater->register('recentbits', $recentbits);
$templater = vB_Template::create('media_browse');
print_output($templater->render());

However, this doesn't seem to work for me. Right now I have 2 items being returned by the query, and the "media_browsebit" template simply outputs the word "test". So after running this script, I should get the word "testtest", but unfortunately I don't get anything. Anyone have any ideas one what I am doing wrong?

Okay... nevermind, I found out what the problem was. The variable register needs to be AFTER the template creator. Simply fix...

However, I am having another issue now. Inside "media_browsebit", I am trying to use certain classes that belong to the album css...

Code:

<li>
	<div class="albumthumbcontainer">
		<a href="media.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}mediaid={vb:raw media.mediaid}"><img src="{vb:raw media.thumbnail}" border="0"></a>
	</div>
	<h3 class="albumtitle"><a href="media.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}mediaid={vb:raw media.mediaid}">{vb:raw media.title}</a></h3>
</li>

I thought simply adding: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{vb:raw vbcsspath}album.css" /> to the headers of the main page would enable these classes... but it appears it hasn't. Does anyone know what I would need to do to get it working? My main page is currently as follows:

Code:

{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">
  <head>
    {vb:raw headinclude}
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{vb:raw vbcsspath}album.css" />
    <title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle} - {vb:raw pagetitle}</title>
    {vb:raw headinclude_bottom}
  </head>
  <body>
    
    {vb:raw header}
    
    {vb:raw navbar}
    
    <div id="pagetitle">
      <h1>{vb:raw pagetitle}</h1>
    </div>

	<div class="block" id="recentvideo">
		<h2 class="blockhead">Recently Uploaded Media</h2>
		<div class="blockbody floatcontainer">
			<ul id="latestvideocontainer">
				{vb:raw recentbits}
			</ul>
		</div>
	</div>
    
    {vb:raw footer}
  </body>
</html>

It looks like "blockbody floatcontainer" isn't being called either... is that an album style?

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