Hooks, plugins?

[Muazam]

I want to insert a PHP script right below these two in the "postbit_legacy" template.

<div id="post_message_{vb:raw post.postid}">
<blockquote class="postcontent restore ">

But, I don't know how. Anyone has any idea how?

Edit: I tried this:


Probably wrong, I got a lot of errors.

Thanks!

What do you mean you want to enter a php script there? Templates are for html - you don't put php in a template. You may run a script in the plugin and then put the output into a variable and then put the variable into the template. Can you tell us a bit more about what you are trying to do?

I'm trying to insert a PHP script in users posts.
Php script:
The PHP script basically reads a random line from a .txt file and print it out.

Thanks for replying, any idea how to get this done?

You will need to write a plugin to read the php script and then put the random line into a variable. Then preregister the variable for use in that specific template. And then put the variable into the template.

This exact thing has actually been covered quite a few times if you try a search.

I did try search, I'm not even sure what Is should search after.
