How does this foruminfo array get populated. I added a new table to the forum table. But $foruminfo[categoryid] doesn't return anything. Do i have to edit the select sql stmt that populates this array. If so which file should i look for, to populate my new field in to this array.?

I thought the entire table, all fields, were automagically put in the forum array. However, that array info is cached. Perhaps you mearly need to update the forum cache?

Thanks a lot for the response. fetch_foruminfo() is the funtion that is called to populate this array. It is in includes/functions.php. Like you said its cached which i didn't know before. How do i update this forum cache? On the staging server, i changed usecache=false in the forum_fetchinfo() function (just until i tested my new changes). But i do not have the permissions to do this on the live site. Any other way to update this cache? Forgive me if my questions are silly..i'm totally new to all this..

These are not obvious operations. Look under maintenance, there should be a button to update the forum cache.

I believe editing any forum will update the cache too. Not certain.
