Zomg, now that I like! (the part which you added in the other post) Adding a variable without showing it in the templates.. now that opens up a lot of options .

As the embing (or is it embeding? :p), you could add this to your plugin:
and than add $invite[forumrules] to the new template ;).

Ok, there is no one, universal technique. For this particular project, I think I've reached a nice compromise:

• Add a new custom template. Why? Because the user should have the flexibility of editing it, just as with any other template.
  
• Within that template, I added $GLOBALS[orig_forumrules], and I use it where I want the current forumrules to appear (inside a conditional that tests if the user is a guest).
  
• My plugin evaluates the current forumrules, assigning it to $orig_forumrules, and then does the cache swap as outlined previously.

Works like a charm. Deaths, to fix the width problem, I'll add $style[forumwidth], or whatever the proper variable is. The invite box should be the same width as the rest of the forum.

However, since this is controlled by a new custom template, you can edit that as you see fit.

Thanks for all the excellent help.

No problem, glad I could be of help .

If you have any other questions please feel free to ask them here, I for one found this one to be very interested and have personally learned a couple of new things !

And to think, I'm not a "coder" according to .org... ah well.

In any case, here's the next version to test. If you don't have any problems with it, I'll release it here officially.
