WOL locations for sub-pages

Hii.. some vb programming help needed please.

Please tell me how to make the URL variables available for $userinfo['where'] in a custom WOL plugin.

My code:-

Hook: online_location_process

Code:

if ($filename == 'myfile.php')
{
        $userinfo['activity'] = 'myprocess';
}

Hook: online_location_unknown

Code:

if ($userinfo['activity'] == 'myprocess')
{
    switch($userinfo['values']['do']) 
    {
        case 'view':
            $userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing Item';
            $userinfo['where'] = 'I NEED HELP WITH THIS';
            break;
        default:
            $userinfo['action'] = 'Vewing Custom Page';
            break;
    }
        $handled = true;
}

The switch case is working good. BUT how to build the URL in userinfo[where]. How to make the $item_id and similar variables available for location url.

Thanks

Here is a great write up: [How-To] vBulletin API Basics: Creating Custom Pages & Misc. - vBulletin.org Forum

That article is already in my favorites since long. What I want is not in any article.

I don't think it would be tough, I reached to switch-case concept for inner pages by looking at the ibproarcade's WOL code. But i am not able to figure out how the URL variables are done for userinfo[where]

Thanks

You would just replace your red code with:

PHP Code:

'<a href="./test.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . '">This is My Test Page</a>'; 


test.php being your title of the script you are on, then it adds the session url. Then you can change the this is my test page text to what you want. If you want to add &thisvariable add it righter after the vars vars['sessionurl'] . ' so it looks something like:

PHP Code:

'<a href="./test.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . '&thisvariable=2">This is My Test Page</a>'; 


Michael sir, you again did not read my first post

The thing you explained is already in the article.

See, what I want is how to do this:-

Code:

$userinfo['where'] = '<a href="myfile.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=view&amp;itemid=$item_id\">$item_title</a>";

The variables in RED are database vars or whatever we call them so the URL would look like

Code:

myfile.php?do=view&itemid=1
myfile.php?do=view&itemid=2
myfile.php?do=view&itemid=3
.
.

I need to get the itemid column value from database in the URL.

Here's the link to my original thread if needed more explaination. It shouldn't tough please.

Thanks

Maybe you need to create another plugin that would extract those values from the DB,
so that you can use them in your Custom WOL location plugin.

Just like ibProArcade does, via these two plugins :

PHP Code:

<plugin active="1">
<title>ibProArcade: Get Game List for WOL</title>
<hookname>online_ids_titles</hookname><phpcode><![CDATA[

global $gameids, $wol_games;
if ($gameids)
{
    $gameidquery = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
        SELECT gid, gtitle
        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games_list
        WHERE gid IN (0$gameids)
    ");
    while ($gameidqueryr = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($gameidquery))
    {
        $wol_games["$gameidqueryr[gid]"] = $gameidqueryr['gtitle'];
    }
}

]]></phpcode></plugin> 


PHP Code:

<plugin active="1">
<title>ibProArcade: WOL Display Prepare</title>
<hookname>online_location_process</hookname><phpcode><![CDATA[

if (($filename == 'arcade.php') || ($filename == 'holdsession.php'))
{
    $userinfo['activity'] = 'arcade';
    if (!empty($values['gameid']))
    {
        $userinfo['gameid'] = intval($values['gameid']);
        global $gameids;
        $gameids .= ',' . $userinfo['gameid'];
    } 
}

]]></phpcode></plugin> 


yeah I didn't notice the plugin on online_ids_titles hook. Thanks for pointing that out for me. The required query runs there.

I have tried a lot using these 3 plugins but can't get it to work. Any idea what does this mean?

Code:

WHERE gid IN (0$gameids)

Thanks

There was already a wonderful article at vb.org that helped me achieve this in few minutes
