Passing variables to template not working.

[Renari]

I have an array $user that I want to pass all of it's contents to a template.

$user = array(username => 'test', avatar =>'http://xenforo.com/community/styles/default/xenforo/logo.png')
$params = $template->getParams();
$hookParams += $user;
$params += $hookParams;
$content .= $template->create('template_name', $params);

Then in the template:

<li>
<a href="http://xenforo.com"><img src="{$avatar}" alt="{$username}"></a>
</li>

And... the output:

<li>
<a href="http://xenforo.com"><img src="" alt=""></a>
</li>

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

The keys should be quoted, and you are missing a semicolon:

 $user = array('username' => 'test', 'avatar' =>'http://xenforo.com/community/styles/default/xenforo/logo.png');
$params = $template->getParams();
$hookParams += $user;
$params += $hookParams;
$content .= $template->create('template_name', $params);

And if you aren't using the other params then you might as well just pass that array directly:

$content .= $template->create('template_name', array(
	'username' => 'test',
	'avatar' => 'http://xenforo.com/community/styles/default/xenforo/logo.png'
));

Hm, that's not actually my problem here's the entire hook.

        if ($hookName == 'forum_list_sidebar')
        {
            $sidebar = '';
            $db = XenForo_Application::get('db');
            $query = $db->query("
                SELECT
                xf_user.user_id, username, gravatar, avatar_date, stream_data, field_value
                FROM
                xf_user, userstreams, xf_user_field_value
                WHERE
                xf_user.user_id = userstreams.user_id
                AND
                xf_user.user_id = xf_user_field_value.user_id
                AND
                field_id = 'twitch'
                AND
                field_value != ''");
            while ($user = $query->fetch()) { 
                $user['stream_data'] = json_decode($user['stream_data'], true);
                $user['stream_data'] = $user['stream_data'][0];
                $user['profile'] = Xenforo_Link::buildPublicLink("members", $user);
                $user['stream'] = $user['field_value'];
                if ($user['gravatar']) {
                    $user['avatar'] = XenForo_Template_Helper_Core::getAvatarUrl($user, 's');
                }
                elseif (!empty($user['avatar_date'])) {
                    $user['avatar'] = XenForo_Template_Helper_Core::getAvatarUrl($user, 's', 'custom');
                }
                else {
                    $user['avatar'] = XenForo_Template_Helper_Core::getAvatarUrl($user, 's', 'default');
                }
                $params = $template->getParams();
                $hookParams += $user;
                $params += $hookParams;
                $sidebar .= $template->create('UserStreams_Stream', $params);
 
            }
            $params = $template->getParams();
            $hookParams['content'] = $sidebar;
            $params += $hookParams;
 
            $contents .= $template->create('UserStreams_Sidebar', $params);
        }
    }

To troubleshoot I really need full access so I can see and debug the data, and also know what you are trying to accomplish.

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply. Doing a var_dump() of the variables being sent to the template indeed shows that they are being passed. If you would like to take a look at it first hand however I can give you access to look at it.

Basically there is a named variable avatar being passed to the template, however {$avatar} in the template is outputting nothing.

Example of $params array:

Everything looks correct.

It's odd that your user fields are all individual params. Normally the entire $user record would be its own entry.

$hookParams += array('user' => $user);

That way you can access {$user.avatar} in the template instead of {$avatar}.

Sure, give me access and I will take a look.
