Notification on external page

[skariko]

Hello,
anyone know how put the VB4 notification on an external page?

I've found this phrase:

{vb:raw notifications_total}

but i don't know how to include it on an external page.

Thanks.

You can probably include it if you external page includes global.php also.

Yes, i am able to take different thing from this external page like the username:
$vbulletin->userinfo['username']

and the forum url:
get_option('vbb_VBURL')

and the userid:
$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']

and a field:
$vbulletin->userinfo['field56']

But i don't understand how i can include the notification.. i've tried with:
<?php echo {vb:raw notifications_total} ?>

and with
<?php echo $notifications_total ?>

..but it doesn't works.... any idea? :)
thanks

You don't use echo in a template. The correct code for the notifications dropdown is in the header template. Copy it from there. You may also have to copy the css for it, if you are wanting a drop down like that.

I've always just included the header template on my external pages, so I'm not really sure how to just grab part of the template for use.
