Paul, is there a way to get '$totalchatters' to work outside of the template? I have a link to the chat room in a tab at the top of my navbar, and it'd be slick to have "Chat Room (11)" where 11 is the number of people in the room.
I tried moving $totalchatters, $chatters, etc to the navbar, but for some reason it doesn't display the number anywhere but in the Display_Chatters template.
