Postbit_onlinestatus and $post[onlinestatus] related question
 

How does vbulletin know that when you type $post[onlinestatus] to grab the info from the template postbit_onlinestatus ?

I would like to create my own template and call it into action in a signature, but don't know where to link the two. I have made the template called postbit_mytemplate but don't know how to call that into the sig.

I have searched my mysql database with the terms postbit_onlinestatus and onlinestatus and couldn't find the link anywhere. I have also searched inside all the vbulletin files.

Any ideas?

The templates are created and assigned to a variable. Search for $post['onlinestatus']

I think he wants to know how the template gets assigned to a variable?

its done by cacheing the template then assigning it to a variable i think. done with plugins. search the articles section

Thanks guys, I have a direction to look now.
