Hey Guys,

In the plugin I am creating, I have the following structure:

  // Usual plugin stuff

  function pluginname_activate() {
  // Some stuff out here
  // Creating template
  }

// deactivate function

   function pluginname_run() {
   // some stuff

   // creating $var here
}

What I want to do is, use the value of $var in the template, and because the value changes according to input, I am using a variable.

EDIT: The template is for a custom page.
Everything is running fine, I just need to use a $var in the template

Please help me out!

You need to eval your template.

function pluginname_run()
{
	global $templates;

	$var = 'Hellow world!';

	eval('$foo = "'.$templates->get('random').'";');

	echo $foo;
	// write {$foo} in your "random" template
}

Does it work like:

//pluginname_activate function
 $template = '//blah blah

   {$blahblah}'
// activate function end

// other stuff here

// pluginname_run function
 $blahblah = 'blah';
eval('$blahblah = "'.$templates->get('random').'";');
echo $blahblah;

If yes, then it is not working...
Please someone help me out, this is the last part of my plugin, I have done everything else

'random' is a template, you create and paste the code in there.

//blah blah  {$blahblah}

That's what I am doing, I am creating a template in the variable $template and then adding {$blahblah} to it.
btw, my template is in global templates.
Any way it affecting the functioning?

Please do paste your full code here if possible.

Sure, it has two files:
first file, tagcloud.php in MyBB root:

<?php 
	define('IN_MYBB', 1); require "./global.php";
	add_breadcrumb("Tag Cloud", "tagcloud.php"); 
	eval("\$html = \"".$templates->get("tagcloud_cloud")."\";"); 
	output_page($html);
?>

Second file, the plugin file:

<?php
	/*
		Tag Cloud v1.0
		Plugin made by Aniruddh Agarwal
	*/
	if(!defined("IN_MYBB")) {
		die("Direct initialization of this file is not allowed.<br /><br />Please make sure IN_MYBB is defined.");
	}
	
	function tagcloud_info(){
		return array (		
			"name"			=> "Tag Cloud",		
			"description"	=> "A plugin which displays threads in a list according to the criteria selected by the Admin",		
			"website"		=> "http://mybb.com",

	}

	}

		$db->query("DELETE FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."settings WHERE name='tagcloud_latestthreads'");
		$db->query("DELETE FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."templates WHERE title='tagcloud_cloud'");
		
		rebuild_settings();
	}

	function tagcloud_run() {
		global $mybb, $db;
		$latestthreads = $db->query("SELECT tid,subject FROM `".TABLE_PREFIX."threads` WHERE `replies`>1 ORDER BY `lastpost` DESC LIMIT 40");
		while($thread = $db->fetch_array($latestthreads)){
			$sizes = array("11","14","18","22","28");

		}
		eval('$message = "'.$templates->get('tagcloud_cloud').'";');
		echo $message;	
	}

?>

I can't really see what you are trying to do. May you explain it with details? It does seems like there is a missing file too (unless you forgotten to paste all the files here).

Are you trying to write a plugin or modify an existing one?

I am writing a plugin, which creates a template, which is used by a separate individual page at the MyBB root.
For the template,
The plugin fetches the latest threads from the db, and then stores them in the var $message
I want to use the variable in the template.

Wait, so you want to use the variable in the custom page? If so, you need to either add a hook to the page or just define the variable there...
