OK, this is odd because it really is almost exactly the type of condition I use in a mod of mine. (Sorry I took off, sleep was calling.)

Check your options for pl9_qloc - is the data validation type set to Free ?

This is exactly my code in my plugin:

PHP Code:

$verifyforums = explode(",", $vbulletin->options['verify_forums']);
eval('$template_hook[showthread_verify_thread] .= " ' . fetch_template('added_verify_threads') . '";'); 


And in my template:

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,array(5,6)) AND in_array($threadinfo['forumid'], $verifyforums)">

That looks very much like exactly what you have:

PHP Code:

$pl9_quoteloc = explode(",", $vbulletin->options['pl9_qloc']);
...
eval('$quote = "' . fetch_template('bfc_quote') . '";'); 


and then

<if condition="in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], $pl9_quoteloc) OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' OR in_array($forum['forumid'], $pl9_quoteloc)">

Only other thing I can think of is to add something before your explode statement to define the variable as an array:

PHP Code:

$pl9_quoteloc = array();
