variables not shown in templates

[FloatBird]

hello,

I don't understand this. I made a plugin for general use like this:

hook name: global_start (i checked also other hooks but nothing working)
plugin code:

$myvar = "vb4 plugin not showing variables";

and in 'navbar' template I added this:

{vb:var myvar}

but unfortunately, myvar not shown in 'navbar' ..
it's work if I do a new hook and add to the template, or create new template for just this single variable? help please.

You need to register it to work... a search of the forums will get you your answer

thank you, but I am asking because I already read article about how to register variables. my problem is that I don't want to create new template .. I just want to add my var to an exist template .. I tried this but get an error:

$templater = vB_Template::create('navbar');
$templater->register('my_var', $my_var);
$templater->render();

PHP Code:

vB_Template::preRegister('navbar',array('myplugin_output' => $myplugin_output));
