Plugin in archive footer

[qxh]

Hey,

I can't get an "echo" to work in the Archive footer using Plugins. I have tried "echo 'test';" as a Plugin in archive_complete. Is this right, or is there something that I'm missing?

Thanks,
Scott

I'd imagine that archive_complete isn't in the footer, but rather after running through all the archive code, but possibly before displaying it, so it might well echo your 'test' at the very beginning of the document...


Also, is the plugin active and do you have plugins activated in your vBulletin Options?

Plugin is active and they're enabled in vB Options. The reason I decided to give archive_complete a go is since right at the bottom of archive/index.php it has:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('archive_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false; 

There needs to be/must be an easier way to edit the archive (add links to footer, mainly, using php) than editing the index.php file.

Thanks,
Scott

In a previous post, it was stated that the Archive is very limited and that the hooks won't necessarily do what people want. Maybe somewhere in the 'Hooks Request' topic.

I've moved the hook so that it executes before </html> is echoed out.

Cool, thanks.
