How would I do this in the Header?

[yinyang]

I'm sure there must be an obvious way to do this, but it totally eludes me. I would like to move the following information presented on the forumhome page to the header:

1. Basically everything in "What's Going On".

I've moved the login/welcome info box from the navbar to the header really easily. However, when i do the same for stuff on the forumhome template, none of the actual information transfers, only the template stuff.

Is there a file edit I must do? If so, can you please let me know what and how? Thanks!

the variables are not global ... it will only display in index.php file

ahh, that explains why it wouldn't easily cut and paste. ok, what file edit do i need to make or what template edits?

it's not that easy ... plus, if you do it wrong you will increase query count on all pages that displays the info

do a search in the hack section ... you may find one that uses the datastore to save this information
