How to use variables in custom template

[mindhunter77]

I'm just learning all this so any help would be appriciated.

I'm trying to figure out how I can get certian variables to work in custom templates. For instance I want to use the varables

$forum[replycount]
$forum[threadcount]
$forum[lastpostinfo]
$forum['browsers']

Yet I'm not sure how to go about making them function in my custom template.

You will need to make sure these variables are available when the template is parsed.
