Full Version: How do I create my own template?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I'm creating a sidebar, an extensive one at that. Instead of adding it all to my index template, I went to "add template" pasted my sidebar html content and then named it "sideBar". Then I tried adding {$sideBar} and that did not work. What am I doing wrong?
You need to actually hook to index_end and define the variable there.

How do I do that?

I know what variables are, I was talking about hooking to index_end

I don't know really any php, I can read it somewhat, but when it comes to making something, nada.

Bump. Could anyone please explain what dragonexpert meant?

Alright, I figured that out. Now where would I put the variable to define "<template my_new_template>" to {$mynewtemplate} or something like that?
Everything is stated in that post step by step.. If you activated the plugin, only step 3 and 4 are needed, nothing more.

Destroy's method doesn't involve creating an actual variable like what you are trying to do.  The <template my_new_template> is the variable.  The template conditionals plugin adds the ability for you to add templates to templates without actually having to setup the variable yourself in PHP code.
