Odd i can't get that to work, I've tried forumdisplay_start/complete/ and global_start/complete and nothing will return the latest member or total member count for me.

I checked your query with a few other popular mods that query the username (such as VBA) and its the same exact code, So i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong.

I've got this for a plugin which should also give me the userid and active member counts and the such

// get total members and newest member from template
$numbermembers = vb_number_format($vbulletin->userstats['numbermembers']);
$newusername = $vbulletin->userstats['newusername'];
$newuserid = $vbulletin->userstats['newuserid'];
$activemembers = vb_number_format($vbulletin->userstats['activemembers']);
$show['activemembers'] = ($vbulletin->options['activememberdays'] > 0 AND ($vbulletin->options['activememberoptions'] & 2)) ? true : false;

I've tried putting all those variables into forumdisplay template without any luck so far.

I'll keep looking for other ways, until i can figure this one out Thanks for your help so far

Add this to the top of the plugin (note: stay out of the global_start, stay to a forumdisplay_):

global $vbulletin;

Now that I think about it, it is probably due to the fact that its called with the datastore, and does not have the specialtemplates being called. I have a fix for it, but it requires a template edit.

Open file: forumdisplay.php

Find:

Replace with:

Then add what I told you to add in the template, then throw the variable in the template.

Well, do not include your forumdisplay.php ;).

Is yours fully phrased? Are you using the already established phrases?

BTW: It is so weird talking to you on three different forums, and you have a different name on each lol.

--------------------

lol yes it is

Its using phrases from the index template as it was a straight copy and paste over into forumdisplay

It might be easier if you are going to release it, to throw everything from what you copied over, and then add it to a new template, then eval a variable, so you can just insert $newvariablehere anywhere in the forumdisplay template.

--------------------

Done, its almost ready to go, I'm seeing if i can play around with automatic template insertion :evil:
