HELP - $vbulletin->userstats['numbermembers'] on non VB page

[TheAlchemist]

hello,

can someone tell me how I can get $vbulletin->userstats['numbermembers'] to show on a non VB page? I already have the following setup to get other info like userid, etc. however, I'm not able to get this particular figure. thanks in advance

$curdir = getcwd ();
chdir('forums');
require_once('global.php');
chdir ($curdir);

Add $specialtemplates = array('userstats'); before including global.php

THAT'S what I was looking for!!! thank you very much!!!!!

ok I need a bit more help here....as you might have guessed, $vbulletin->userstats['numbermembers'] is located in a common section of my website: the header. It does show total numbers of members on non VB pages no problem. it also works on index.php i.e.: FORUMHOME template. However, it does NOT show anything on any other VB page. can you suggest a fix? I need $vbulletin->userstats['numbermembers'] to work on ALL VB and NON VB pages, as it's located in the header.

thank you very much!!!!

As above, you will need to add userstats to the special templates array for each PHP file.

hello,

I already did that. I have

$specialtemplates = array('userstats');
require_once('global.php');

at the very top of an inc_common.php file which is included sitewide before the header. on VB pages, this is included creating a plug-in and referencing that. again, it works on FORUMHOME template, but not on other VB pages.

thanks

That would not work, as the vBulletin file has already included global.php, and require makes it so that it is only included once.

[TheAlchemist]

it works on FORUMHOME but it doesn't on any other VB page? can you suggest a workaround?

thanks

[TheAlchemist]
