[SDB]

right..

I'm being thick here, clearly :

I want to show $numbermembers and $totalposts at the top of each page of my forum, from within the header template.

As these two values are not available unless you've already parsed the forumhome stats, I've successfully cached these values just after they are calculated at the end of index.php.

I have added it to special templates on the index.php page.

The problem I'm having is getting the data back out again, and into a useable format so I can insert it into the template.

I'm missing a step somewhere..

If I stick $vbulletin->cachedstats into the header template I see the full serialised data in there, but I can't work out from the examples exactly how (and probably more importantly WHERE) to unserialise the data and turn it into eval variables that I can use in the header template.

If anyone could give me a bit of code and tell me where to put it, I would be eternally greatful!

Thanks in advance.
