data not showing in templates...
 

Hi...
if i put this in index.php

$topfive = "hello";

then... put $topfive in the FORUMHOME template... it works on the page..

BUT!

if i put $topfive inside the template forumhome_forumbit_level2_post nothing shows at all..

do i have to take the $topfive out of index.php and put it somewhere else.. or change another thing?

to answer the question it sounds like you're putting the call to the template above that of variable declaration.

This is also the wrong from to put this in.

Try using the phpinclude templates instead (vb 3.0 only) or the global_start plugin hook (3.5 only)
