How to add another ?

In admin/story.php $groupdd accumulates a bunch of html
if ($access == 3) {
$groupdd .= '<select name="group_id">';
for ($i = 0; $i < count($usergroups); $i++) {
$groupdd .= '<option value="' . $usergroups[key($usergroups)] . '"';
if ($A['group_id'] == $usergroups[key($usergroups)]) {
$groupdd .= ' selected="selected"';
}
$groupdd .= '>' . key($usergroups) . '</option>';
next($usergroups);
}
$groupdd .= '</select>';
} else {
// they can't set the group then
$groupdd .= DB_getItem ($_TABLES['groups'], 'grp_name',
"grp_id = {$A['group_id']}");
$groupdd .= '<input type="hidden" name="group_id" value="'
. $A['group_id'] . '">';
}
Then this accumulated stuff is put in a variable called "group_dropdown".
The variable appears as {group_dropdown} in the storyeditor_advanced.thtml template file.
In a plugin I am trying to write, I collect html in a variable called $STUFF. I have added the variable to the story_advanced template as {STUFF}. How do I get the contents of $STUFF into {STUFF}. I can't just say
What preliminary code must I put in my plugin file to allow me to add this field to the template while leaving everything else alone?

I was afraid this was the case.
I have a need to also add three fields into the header template. I know I can do this by setting up PHP function calls. But I need to have three different fields added in two different places (head and body) within header.thml. Do I have to make two php calls just to add these three fields. (would be nice to just do it only once).

I'm sorry. I don't mean FIELDS. I mean VARIABLES (with html content)!

in your header.thtml
<some html>
<?php print yourfunction('var2'); ?>
etc.
and the function placed in lib-custom.php or your theme's functions.inc file.
function yourfunction($var)
{
if ($var == 'var1'){
return 'this html';
} elseif ($var == 'var2'){
return 'this html';
}
}

PLG_templateSetVars would come to mind. I.e. in your plugin, implement a function
bye, Dirk
plugin_templatesetvars_pluginname. It's getting the header template as a parameter, so you can replace any of your own variables (anywhere in header.thtml) in there.bye, Dirk

Thanks Ted. I'll take a look at your solution if I can't understand Dirk's.
Dirk, I took a look at the PLG_templateSetVars function and think it is exactly what I want. But I am having a hard time understanding it completely.
In my plugin's function.inc there will be a function named plugin_templatesetvars_myplugin'sname. I assume it is here that I put the php that sets up my three variables $stuff1,$stuff2 and $stuff3. The part I am missing is how to get $stuff1 into {stuff1} so I can put {stuff1} in my header.
Do I do this:
{
global $_CONF, etc., etc.,;
(php code that puts content into $stuff1, $stuff2 and $stuff3;)
PLG_templateSetVars( 'header', $stuff1 );
PLG_templateSetVars( 'header', $stuff2 );
PLG_templateSetVars( 'header', $stuff3 );
}
Two other questions
A. I guess Geeklog automatically checks its plugins to see if the plugin_templatesetvar_myplugin function is present, and if so, then it just runs the function and sets the variables for the template. I don't have to specifically call the function. Correct?
B. In the same way as setting a var in the header, can I also set a variable in footer.thtml?
Thanks for your help!

Text Formatted Code
function plugin_templatesetvars_myplugin ($templatename, $template){
if ($templatename == 'header') {
$template->set_var ('stuff', "Some stuff when in header");
} else {
$template->set_var ('stuff', "Some other stuff when elsewhere");
}
}
Something like that. That would set the variable {stuff} to "Some stuff in header" when called for the site's header.
And, yes, that function is called automatically, assuming your plugin is named "myplugin" (which you should obviously replace with the real name of your plugin).
bye, Dirk
