Force ForumID?

[Ian Cunningham]

I'm working on a custom script, but I'm stuck at the final hurdle when trying to force a forumid for forumdisplay.php.

I have made a plugin in forumdisplay_start where all of the following fails:

if ($_REQUEST[test]){
$forumid = 6;
$forum[forumid]=6;
$vbulletin->GPC['forumid'] = 6;
}

Does anyone know how I can force a forumid for forumdisplay.php using plugins?

Got it! :D

$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($newforumid);

nvm - posted at same time as your second post (and I think mine was wrong anyway).

Did you try looking in the code where the hook location is? The variable is not called $forum, it's called $foruminfo.

Thanks to you both for the reply :). I found this out just after I posted and edited my OP with the fix.

Now that I've set the $foruminfo varible in forumdisplay_start, I can't get the meta tags in "headinclude" to work?

For example, the variable "$foruminfo[title_clean]" in headinclude doesn't return anything - even though I set $foruminfo in forumdisplay_start.

I'm a real novice at programming, so any help would be most welcome! :)
