[Kangaroo666]

Thanks very much for sharing. :)

[kud0gfx]

thank you, is there some variable that makes the subforum it was reported? i want to use it to the report titles post...

[Brandon Sheley]

wasn't this posted already?

thanks either way :D

[veenuisthebest]

ya it was !! and it shows now ..

[kaptanblack]

Thanks

[lstintxs100]

What about the total number of members of a usergroup?

say usergroup 37

[ZeroHour]

Also where do I get the current users styleid that they have set?

[DragonMasterNYC]

What would I use if i wanted to show an image if a curtain user is online and if they are off show a different one.

[hellbringer80]

What about trying to get themt o display in two different spots, when I have them both in the forumhome template and in the footer template, it won't display in the footer one, is there something I need to do to make it display?

[figu120]

Thanks ...
I doubt I can use it anywhere in my vb

[Birched]

Is there a variable that contains the name of the current page? I can't seem to find one.

[ragtek]

THIS_SCRIPT

But it's a constant, not a variable, so don't use $

[Bloodhound2922]

One more that should be added to the BBuserinfo list is $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]

This one is really useful, so I think it should be added.

[positiverep]

How do I use THIS_SCRIPT in a conditional to check if on the forum index page?
This is what I have right now but it's not working:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'index.php'">
<td class="forumbitforumlevel1post">$forum[lastpostinfo]</td><!-- -->
<td class="forumbitforumlevel1post">$forum[threadcount]</td><!-- -->
<td class="forumbitforumlevel1post">$forum[replycount]</td><!-- -->
</if>

I've placed it inside the forumbit_forum_level1_post as I want the thread and post info displayed in tabular form in the displayforum page but not on the homepage.
I've tried using the $vboptions[homeurl] and $vboptions[bburl] to no avail.
:confused:

I've just found the answer to my question here:
http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/f18/vbulletin-template-conditionals-list-2185.html

In other words it should be this:
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'index'">

:)

[Gamelobby]

What would i use to make a "Home" buton that links to each persons OWN profile.?

Thanks :)

[veenuisthebest]

What would i use to make a "Home" buton that links to each persons OWN profile.?

Thanks :)
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">Home</a>

[Gamelobby]

This is what is there now..so i will need to make some adjustments for the button, etc..
<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" class="home">Home</a>

This has the info i need though thanks. :)

[Dalma]

[veyissen]

[ubcforums]

how can i use it in templates ? please

[TalkVirginia]

I wanted to use some of the site statistic variables in a side column but I noticed that some don't show up on the showthread page. Any idea how to get them to show up?

[Trasion]

How can I show the user(s) rank? Using the $bbuserinfo one?

[Digital Jedi]

$post[rank] inside the postbit.
$bbuserinfo[rank] outside the postbit.

[Trasion]

Neither of them worked for me, but thanks for trying to help.

[Digital Jedi]

Neither of them worked for me, but thanks for trying to help.
How and where did you implement them?

[deepmartini]

Is there a tutorial or easy way to learn how to use these and design with them, as in pulling certain elements up to the front page? Seems very powerful!!!

[TalkVirginia]

What do we have to do to make these available in a custom product or script?

I see that $vbulletin->userinfo works, but when I try to use $bbuserinfo it's not there.

[MaXeL3G3ND]

That's a very nice list! Thank you very much I can definitely put this to some use I guess :-P

[steveheinsch]

Hi... is there a variable for what template group the current template is in?

I'm trying to figure out if a template is a Custom Template or not.

[Digital Jedi]

I'm trying to figure out if a template is a Custom Template or not.
What's the name of the template? We could probably just tell you.

[Hornstar]

Is there one (or a way) to list all users form a specific usergroup?

[WebCraker]

Now that's a usefull article,

Thank you

[m3_fs]

can someone give me a basic example of how to use this in vbulletin HTML ad code?

I seem to be retarded.

[cellarius]

Those are PHP variables and cannot be used in Templates (which the ad code basically is). Try using template conditionals and variables (and make sure you use the vb4 syntax).

[mahmo0od]

excellent
the best variables library for editing forum templates

[nexxzus]

It installs fine but when you click on the letters A, B, C does nothing any solution?

[cellarius]

There's nothing to install in this article, and what A B C are you talking about? Are you sure you're posting in the right thread?

[m2006]

[ChiNa]

This did help me a lot, Thank you very much
