MyBB Community Forums

Hi there,

I've a small trouble with the top link I add in User Map. When the pugin is installed, the changes in the template (via ACP) doesn't work, but they work in the 3 other templates, so I think I do something badly.

The template insertion:

$db->insert_query("templates",
   [
      'title' => TPL_PREFIX . '_toplink',
      'template' => '<li><a style="background-image: url(\\\'{\$mybb->settings[\\\'bburl\\\']}/images/osm.png\\\'); background-repeat: no-repeat;" href="{$mybb->settings[\\\'bburl\\\']}/misc.php?action=abp_umap">{\$lang->abp_umapname}</a></li>',
      'sid' => -2,
      'version' => 1.40,
      'dateline' => TIME_NOW
   ]
);

You can see I use the sid -2, so the template is replicated in each theme

The use of the template:

$plugins->add_hook('global_start', 'abp_umap_toplink');
function abp_umap_toplink() {
    global $mybb, $templates, $templatelist, $lang, $abp_umap_toplink;
    $lang->load(CN_ABPUMAP);
    if ((string) $templatelist != '') {
        $templatelist .= ' ,';
    }
    $templatelist .= TPL_PREFIX . '_toplink';
    eval("\$" . CN_ABPUMAP . "_toplink = \"" . $templates->get(TPL_PREFIX . '_toplink') . "\";");
}

When I look the advanced details in any forum page, I can see the following query:

SELECT template FROM mybb_templates WHERE title='abpumap_toplink' AND sid IN ('-2','-1') ORDER BY sid DESC LIMIT 1

Returns the initial template, normal.

Following:

SELECT title,template FROM mybb_templates WHERE title IN ('' ,'index' ,'index_whosonline' ,'index_whosonline_memberbit' ,'forumbit_depth1_cat' ,'forumbit_depth2_cat' ,'forumbit_depth2_forum' ,'forumbit_depth1_forum_lastpost' ,'forumbit_depth2_forum_lastpost' ,'forumbit_moderators' ,'index_birthdays_birthday' ,'index_birthdays' ,'index_logoutlink' ,'index_statspage' ,'index_stats' ,'forumbit_depth3' ,'forumbit_depth3_statusicon' ,'index_boardstats' ,'forumbit_depth2_forum_lastpost_never' ,'forumbit_depth2_forum_viewers' ,'forumbit_moderators_group' ,'forumbit_moderators_user' ,'forumbit_depth2_forum_lastpost_hidden' ,'forumbit_subforums' ,'forumbit_depth2_forum_unapproved_posts' ,'forumbit_depth2_forum_unapproved_threads' ,'abpumap_toplink' ,'headerinclude' ,'header' ,'footer' ,'gobutton' ,'htmldoctype' ,'header_welcomeblock_member' ,'header_welcomeblock_member_user' ,'header_welcomeblock_member_moderator' ,'header_welcomeblock_member_admin' ,'error' ,'global_pending_joinrequests' ,'global_awaiting_activation' ,'nav' ,'nav_sep' ,'nav_bit' ,'nav_sep_active' ,'nav_bit_active' ,'footer_languageselect' ,'footer_themeselect' ,'global_unreadreports' ,'footer_contactus' ,'global_boardclosed_warning' ,'global_bannedwarning' ,'error_inline' ,'error_inline_item' ,'error_nopermission_loggedin' ,'error_nopermission' ,'global_pm_alert' ,'header_menu_search' ,'header_menu_portal' ,'redirect' ,'footer_languageselect_option' ,'video_dailymotion_embed' ,'video_facebook_embed' ,'video_liveleak_embed' ,'video_metacafe_embed' ,'video_myspacetv_embed' ,'video_mixer_embed' ,'video_vimeo_embed' ,'video_yahoo_embed' ,'video_youtube_embed' ,'debug_summary' ,'smilieinsert_row' ,'smilieinsert_row_empty' ,'smilieinsert' ,'smilieinsert_getmore' ,'smilieinsert_smilie' ,'global_board_offline_modal' ,'footer_showteamlink' ,'footer_themeselector' ,'task_image' ,'usercp_themeselector_option' ,'php_warnings' ,'mycode_code' ,'mycode_email' ,'mycode_img' ,'mycode_php' ,'mycode_quote_post' ,'mycode_size_int' ,'mycode_url' ,'global_no_permission_modal' ,'global_boardclosed_reason' ,'nav_dropdown' ,'global_remote_avatar_notice' ,'header_welcomeblock_member_pms' ,'header_welcomeblock_member_search' ,'header_welcomeblock_guest' ,'header_welcomeblock_guest_login_modal' ,'header_welcomeblock_guest_login_modal_lockout' ,'header_menu_calendar' ,'header_menu_memberlist' ,'global_dst_detection' ,'header_quicksearch' ,'smilie' ,'modal' ,'modal_button') AND sid IN ('-2','-1','1') ORDER BY sid ASC

Returns twice the template, the first with sid -2 and the second with sid 1 (so the user modified)

And it's alway the template with sid -2 which is used, it's not overrided by the template in the current theme.
The 3 other templates work fine, so I think the trouble may be in the hook I use to apply the template. Can anyone help me about that ?

Thanks, regards.

Replying to myself, I hope it will help other developpers...
The global_start hook is running when the basics are loaded, the themes come after. So any template load depending on theme must be at least on global_intermediate.
