MyBB Community Forums

I wanna display a icon in Forumbit with plugin , I have already used this declared :

global $db, $mybb

and this is the hook:

$plugins->add_hook("build_forumbits_forum", "addIcon");

and this is function :

function addIcon(&$forum)
{
    global $db, $mybb;
    $forum['lastposter'] = "blabla";
    return $forum;
}

it's work when try to display UID or change it with "$forum['lastposteruid']" but when try to change username with "$forum['lastposter']" it's not working 

Hi,

check this post of Theme Variables

the problem
variable : $forum['lastposter'] not working

Hi,

maybe you have to remove the globalize $forum, as Omar G. said in this post.

whole Forumbit not working if i removed it .

maybe i'm wrong but i thing there is nothing wrong with syntax !!!

because when try to display UID or change it with "$forum['lastposteruid']" it's works fine

Hi Proton, $forum['lastposter'] is set after the execution of the build_forumbits_forum hooks, so your value is overwritten.

Go to the following line:
https://github.com/mybb/mybb/blob/featur...st.php#L60

Paste right after:

echo var_dump($forum);
exit;

Whatever you do to to $forum in your addIcon() function should be visible there.

I don't understand if $forum['lastposter'] or $forum['lastposteruid'] worked for you, but if they didn't work it might be because they are defined or overwritten later in the code.

I added it :



and this is the function :



and I got this error !!!





I'm sure I made a mistake, but I don't know where 

This is not an error. The code Omar provided is to print the value of the forum variable so you can check if your variable has been set.
