Hello guys,

May be my question here will look like a very basic one...

I want to display some information in sidebar of my forum using PHP code.... that sidebar is created using a template called ULTIMATE SIDE Column.

I am not a programmer... Just trying to run a small php code in vbulletin template file (ultimate side column)

However, i noticed that templates doesn't run php code ... Is it true ?

What should I do to run php in the template?

1st article says that ... "2. Place $includedphp in one of your templates, such as header, navbar, FORUMHOME, depending upon where you want the contents of your PHP file to appear."

Is it possible to call this variable $includephp with parameters? For example,

$includephp forumid

(forumid is parameter here)
