How do you hook into global header

[Nudaii]

howdy all , i have found how to food into indiviual things like thread/forum etc but how cna i hook a custom controller to show on index page of forum or every page

The page layout is controlled by the template PAGE_CONTAINER, if that's what you mean. If you want to add something to every page, you should probably add it in the appropriate place in that template.

howdy

sorry for not being clear, I am looking for a way to expand the params of the global header so I can use my own variables from an array, on custom pages, thread or forum I have found right one to set listener for, but unsure which handles global

lol just noticed auto correct changed the first hook into food xD

@Lawrence any ideas on which controller to extend to target the page_container with new params?

You don't need/want a controller for this. Looking at adding a listener to the container_public_params event.

Made some progress on this but hit a roadblock. when using this code

<?php
class RRWS_RPMarket_Listener_Ad
{
    public static function getString(array &$params, XenForo_Dependencies_Abstract $dependencies)
    {
       // Run Queries on the Database
        $advertNum = rand(1,4);
        $advertQuery = $db->fetchAll("SELECT * FROM `xf_advert_rp` WHERE `ad_id` = $advertNum");
        $params = array('advertParam' => $advertQuery);
       }
}
?>

Ir works as far as putting correct array data to template {xen:helper dump, $advertParam}

array(1) {
  [0] => array(5) {
  ["ad_id"] => int(1)
  ["ad_title"] => string(10) "Test Title"
  ["ad_text"] => string(12) "Test Message"
  ["ad_image"] => NULL
  ["ad_owner"] => string(7) "Richard"
  }
}

However it kills off all ajax/java functions on site when enabled, can you spot my mistake?

Hi, From your quoted code:
$params = should be something like this: $params['adventParam'] = $advertQuery; (or use array_merge).
The way you have it now $params is being reassigned as a new array.

works perfectly now! thanks @Lawrence.

btw you may get a kick out of my use for this, its to allow in character adverts for the role plays on my site

aka

"Visit the Starlight Inn"
Best prices and least chance of death anywhere near the darklands! just alittle fun thing for the writers

I never even thought about that for my site, that is a fantastic idea that would bring realism to a RPG site,
