Edit template (plugin)

From Game Section

NOTE THAT THIS PAGE IS ABOUT GAME SECTION 1.1.x
NOTE THAT THIS IS INCLUDED IN GAME SECTION 1.2.x BY DEFAULT

There is no function to find and replace parts of a template of the Game Section. When you want to edit a template in your plugin, you can do that by including this function into your plugin.

The function

// Function to replace strings in templates
function replace_templates_gs($title, $find, $replace, $themes=1)
{
	global $db;
	
	//Themes
	if($themes == 0)
	{
		$where_theme = " AND theme='1'";
	}
	
	//Load current template
	$query = $db->query("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."games_templates WHERE title='".$title."'".$where_theme);
	while($template = $db->fetch_array($query))
	{
		$old_template = addslashes($template['template']);
		
		$new_template['template'] = addslashes(preg_replace($find, $replace, $template['template']));
		$new_template['dateline'] = time();

		if($template['template'] != $old_template)
		{
			$db->update_query(TABLE_PREFIX."games_templates", $new_template, "tid='".$template['tid']."'");
		}
	}
}
