What does {vb:something} means

[zero477]

Hello all,

I am adapting vBulletin to a website. I am doing this using only the admin Style Manager (I guess it is the best way)

I can see all around things like this {vb:something}, for example:

<li><a href="usercp.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase user_control_panel}</a></li>

I know html, css and something of PHP... but I do not understand what do {vb:something} does.

Greetings,
Eddie

Things in curly braces get replaced by the vb code when a template is rendered. You can read about this and other info about templates in the manual: https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/root (go to Styles & Templates > vBulletin Style Reference > Templates)
