i thought it was global also, and supprisingly in the global_start works for my custom page but not the postbit template! lol

global_start is called on all vb pages.

I believe the postbits are built from within functions so you are likely to need to call global $yourvariable in a postbit hook to get it to work.

An easier way would be to create your own array $vbulletin->myvars and then use $vbulletin->myvars['var1'] etc, as $vbulletin is already globalised in most places.

that's a good idea, ill give that a shot. :D

I wish I had seen this, oh, about 18 freaking hours ago.

:)

:up:

global_start is called once on each page. The postbit_* hooks are called for each post.
