How exactly have you created 'bbtitle_discrete' in the first place ?

Thanks for your reply Paul, please read my first post in this thread.

Hi, I'm still looking for a solution on this.. can anyone help?

When you answer my question, what steps exactly did you take to create it.

Hi Paul, Thanks for replying.

I created the variable through MySQL queries.


The above queries allow me to edit the new variable in the adminCP.

I assumed that since the variable is in the setting table (alongside the original variable - bbtitle), it would be simple for me to access it's value in the scripts, provided I ensure that it is being set.

That's why I am trying to find out where the original variable - bbtitle - is set.

You could've created that setting without running SQL queries of your own, that's what the Products are for. You could just change $vbulletin->options['bbtitle'] by using a plugin at global_start.

ok, thanks Dismounted, but...

I don't actually want to change $vbulletin->options['bbtitle'] everywhere, only in some places. That's why I created another variable, $vbulletin->options['bbtitle_discrete'] , so that I can use both.

Also, I created it this way so that it can be edited in the adminCP.

Could you explain how I would do this in the way of a plugin?

Thanks

Remo

It depends where you want to change it.

If you go back to page 1 in this thread, one of my posts states all of the phrases I have changed 'bbtitle' to 'bbtitle_discrete'.

What you are trying to do would need a lot of changes in phrases, templates and worse code-edits.

I suggest you try to do it the other way round: Mask your bbtitle, create a new setting with the real title and use that in your regular templates (just a guess, probably only needed in header template). Not tried this but i have the feeling it would be a lot less work.
