Thought i'd repost this in here since I think this would probably be the better audience.

Anyone mind filling me in:

Not sure if this is the exact spot, sorta fits in with code hacking but sort of fits in with a how-to question on colors.

Im trying to get the colors to appear when doing a gettemplate("title");

IE: I have a script pulling things from the vbulletin database and I am wanting the colors to appear as actual colors instead of <table bordercolor=#555576> I'd like the actual color code to appear. Is there another function im forgetting to call? Im just either directly echoing or storing in a var using an eval().

Furthermore, how do I set something equal to a color if its not being pulled from the database. I've tried $tablebordercolor ... I assume there all the colors are assigned to variables, perhaps in an array?

thanks,

in your "outside of vb" pages did you include the global.php file..

it may have just worked for me a couple of times, but when I include the global.php file I can then use the colors... or am I wrong, and it was by sheer luck :)
