I've got a plugin in development which ends up creating a variable such as {$thread['subject']}. The problem is, when I insert the variable into the template, it doesn't work. Here is my hook:
I found a post by euantor explaining that if you were hooking into the postbit, you needed to use &$post as an argument for your function, so I assumed that you needed to do that for this as well.
I have a feeling that I need to globalize thread at the the start of myhook(), but I've tried that and it didn't work.
Any ideas?
Okay, so I switched it to a {$thisvar} format, and it started appearing. Now all I have to do is figure out how to finish my plugin and make it work (currently it's reacting on my else statement, returning an error).
On a similar note, I have this if statement:
Everytime the script is executed, "three" is always being printed, never "four".
Any ideas on how to properly execute this?
I've been trying to fix this plugin for about 8 hours now.
Can someone please tell me where I've gone wrong?
All I get in this is "No shortlink exists" (I insert the variable manually because me and the Changing Template system don't get along well.
)
I've tried replacing {$tid} with {$thread['tid']}, but nothing's worked. I've also escaped virtually everything you can think of.

$thread['thatvar'] = $secondvar;
$thread['someothervar'] = $lastvar;
}
