Parse the navbar

[Boofo]

Can anyone please tell me where I need to go to parse the navbar? I tried the makenavbar function in the functions.php, but I can't seem to find the right place to parse it. I want to do a preg_replace in it.

In the function makenav in the functions.php, I put this code:

if ($bbuserinfo['userid']>0) {
$nav_title = trim(preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[username], $nav_title));
} else {
$nav_title = trim(preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", "you", $nav_title));
}

Below:

$nav_url="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$id";
$nav_title=$foruminfo[title];

But all it seems to do is replace the [you] with you instead of the user's name. Can anyone please tell me why it is parsing it to the 2nd preg_replace and not the first? If I switch it around, it parses it to nothing. I must be missing something here, but for the life of me, I don't know what.

very easy answer:
because $bbuserinfo is never defined in the function makenavbar :)

add $bbuserinfo to the global vars at the start of the function

You have no idea how stupid I feel right now. I knew the $bbuserinfo wasn't being defined but I thought that once it was defined anywhere in the functions.php, then it was defined for everything in there. I guess it needs to be defined for each function that uses it, huh? Now, hmmmm, let's see...what have we learned here today?

* Boofo is a big dope!

That's what we've learned.

Thank you, my friend, for pointing that out to me. ;) And the wife thanks you, too. Now I can get away from the Puter for a while and spend some time with the family.
