What code do I need to use to call USERS BROWSING FORUM, TOTAL POSTS, TOTAL THREADS,

I just edited my forumhome and would like to place this info back where the red circle is in the pic. Yet, I can't find the code to do it.

You can always see what is in the default Jelsoft template by going to edit the template and hitting View Default.

Create a New Style, then look in the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template.

You'll probably be looking for the $forum[xxx] variables.

Those contain the data you need.

ok here is some of the info I need,

<td class="alt2" width="175" nowrap="nowrap">$forum[lastpostinfo]</td>
<td class="alt1" width="65">$forum[threadcount]</td>
<td class="alt2" width="65">$forum[replycount]</td>

The problem is when I place it where it needs to go on my new forumhome it does nothing =(

What template are you placing that code in? Is it in the same template it originally was in? You need to make sure the template is eval'd after the variables are available.

I'm placing it in a template called

burach_forum

Which is called right after the navbar in the FORUMHOME template. It replaces the $forumbits call.

So I'm guessing when you said

template is eval'd after the variables are available.

that is going to have to be done. I'm just not sure how.

Where do you eval the template? If you are using a hook to eval it, is the hook called after those variables are available for use?

I think my big question is HOW do I get those variables available for use in that special template.
