php in templates?
 

why can't php be used the templates? and how do you go about getting around that?

Because of how the template system works, and you dont ^^

you can use the phpinclude_Start and end templates to include php coding.

Or you can hardcode it into the files.

sorry, I am just a bit new to this...

I know it's a lot to ask, but could you walk me through one of these (or both, even)?

I need number_format($newuserid); to work in a template :)

$trueusers = number_format($newuserid);

in phpinclude start

:) add

$trueusers

If somthigns wong vB wont let you save, if it doesnt let me know :)

thank you for the quick reply.

I've looked around (maybe I'm just missing things), but is there any place that explains the basic of vb hacking?

Theres a link in my sig that will explain some of the very basic things in vB3 :)

hm it doesn't seem to be working.

I'm getting "Total Members: 0"

this is vb2, actually. I saw your sig, I figured that was just changes from vb2 to vb3 hacking :\

oh... were in vB2.... lol

why are we in vB2?!

so you don't know how to do this in vb2?

I just prefer vb2 over 3. x_X

Id need to find my vB2 files and work on them ;)

Any reason? vBulletin 3 is highly optmized for larger boards, runs smoother and has tons and tons of standard features that vB2 didnt have, and 99% of them can be turned off
