This turned out to be a global replace that is very handy if you know how to use it, you can find the solution begining in post 18(for vb4) and 20 (for vb3)

So I know if I was going to add something after <head> to one template I could do it something like:

Code:

$find = '<head>';
$add = '<something>';
$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($find,$find.$add,$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);

but how would I go about doing this to every page, since <head> is contained in templates, and not in the headinclude it makes what I'm trying to do a little more complicated.

Tried this and a few other combinations with no luck:

Code:

$find = '<head>';
$add = '<something>';
$find = str_replace($find,$find.$add,$find);

Why not just add it with a template hook. There are a couple in head or its sub templates.

What exactly are you trying to add to <head>? Maybe there's another way to do it instead of replacing it.

If I recall correctly, what I have done in vB 3.8.9 to add something to pages is append it to either $spacer_open or $spacer_close.

$spacer_open consists of I believe 3 divs and first appears in the header template which is not the <head> tag,

this is just an example not what I'm doing, but say I wanted to replace

Code:

<head>

with

Code:

<head class="someClass">

<head> is not located in the headinclude template which IMO is where it should be, but instead pretty much every main template has its own <head> tag.

so its looking like if I want to do something like this I'll have to create a replace for every template

Code:

$find = '<head>';
$replace = '<head class="someClass">';
$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace($find,$replace,$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']);
$vbulletin->templatecache['showthread'] = str_replace($find,$replace,$vbulletin->templatecache['showthread']);
etc...

What do you get by adding CSS to the head element?

Dr.CustUmz · #8 04-14-2016, 12:04 PM

that is not what im doing was just an example lol

If it really turns out to be difficult to do this, you can write some native JavaScript to do this.

why does this method not work?

Code:

<head> = str_replace('head', 'head class="test"', <head>);
