Is $foruminfo or some equivalent available in global_start?


I'm defining some common functions there and I need to use $foruminfo or equivalent inside those functions.

it is, but why asking before trying?

Maybe, I tried it and it isn't working. So given the lack of documentation I thought I would ask.

The answer is that it depends.

In some cases $foruminfo is populated and in other cases it isn't. Generally, when a threadid or forumid is provided in the url, $foruminfo is populated.

In my case, I needed the information in the index.php script. My solution was to pass the non-global $forum within my forumbit_display function calls to the functions I defined in global_start.

$foruminfo isn't available in global_start, it isn't defined yet.
