Help displaying Total Members
 

I am having dificulties displaying a few variables on my forums. I want to display the total number of members, thread, post, and number of people online on a side bar of my forums, whenever i use the variables it doesn't work. Here is what i am using

No help? Anybody knows how to accomplish this?

Where are you putting that code? And what hook location are you using for the plugin that defines those variables? And what is the code you put in that plugin?

Lynne if you visit www.webdevplace.com you will see the statistics block to the left and that is where I am trying to put the information. I am not using any plug in

It should display just fine if you use it in your FORUMHOME template then. That's where the variable is used already, so moving it around in that template should be fine. If that is NOT in your FORUMHOME template, then you need to look at when/where that template is evaled. If you look at the file index.php, you'll see those variables are not defined until the very end of the file and will not be available for any template that is evaled prior to the forumhome_complete hook.

the code for the forum statistics is on the header and that maybe why its not displaying, how can i accomplish displaying this if the code is not on the forumhome template

You'd have to create a plugin to create all those variables at an earlier time than they are currently done. Copy (and delete) the code from where it currently is in the index.php page and put it in a plugin that is evaled prior to the templates being rendered.
