Well I'm using an official, English version of vBulletin [2.2.5] - yesterday I couldn't find that code in my global.php, but today I could. LOL. And rather than hardcoding it I used the template version I mentioned above and created the two relevant templates, all running great now. Thanks for the help anyway. :)

Hmmmm... But it doesn't work in my vBPortal on my test board. :(

Anyone have any knowledge on how I could go about making this work in non-vb pages, such as my vBPortal P_themeheader template? Would I need to include anything in the external files that the portal wouldn't do as default? All input is appreciated.

It'll work on any page where you include global.php

If you have non-vB pages, make sure to include global.php and it'll work. If you don't want to includ global.php, then there's no way for the page to know whether a user is a guest or a member.

I get this error when I try to include it...

...so I'm guessing it's already included somewhere, which is what I thought - which is why I don't understand why it will not work.

I think your version of PHP is just too old...

what version you running?

I'm running version 4.1.2 [February 27 2002], which is only outdated by one more release - so it isn't that.

*Bump...*

Err, see one of the sticky threads in the Full Releases forum. I believe one of 'm contains a small fix on that problem.

I've had the replacement code variables fix installed for a long time.
