If you're going to use a variable in the "header" template, you need to create a plugin at "global_start" with the contents of your variable, ie: $var = "hello world!";.

If you're using it on the "forumhome" template, then you can change the hook location to "forumhome_start".

Addendum - if you are displaying a variable in the header template that gets set in the forumhome you'll need to use the first hook after it is set (most likely forumhome_complete) and then re-eval the header template (innefficient, but avoids code hacks).

Hmmz.. ok so in Forumhome template, and you added it in forumhome_complete template.
and its still not working, mind showing me the plugin?
