Say you want active users in the navbar template when you are on the forum.php page. Try adding a plugin to the forumhome_complete hook with this code:

vB_Template::preRegister('navbar', array('activeusers' => $activeusers));

Then use the following in the navbar template wherever you want it to appear:

<div>
	<ol class="commalist">
		{vb:raw activeusers}
	</ol>
</div>

If it works, you can do the same type of thing as above except for the forumdisplay.php page change the hook to forumdisplay_complete and use the following instead (because $navbar is set earlier in forumdisplay.php than forum.php so create it again):

vB_Template::preRegister('navbar', array('activeusers' => $activeusers));
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);

And for the the showthread.php page, the hook would be showthread_complete with the same code as with the forumdisplay.php page.

Whatever vB kicks out to $activeusers on those various pages should (unless this is all baked) be what you get in the navbar save for tweaks.

I tried pre-registering the template like you showed for the forumhome but it still isn't working like I want it to. Here is what I am trying to do. I have the following code in the parse_templates hook for the navbar, after adding the pre-register portion of it to the forumhome_complete hook. I want the link to only show if there are activeusers on the site.

if ($activeusers) 
{ 
    $template_hook['navbar_community_menu_end'] .= '<li><a href="usermap.php' . $session[sessionurl_q] . '">' . $vbphrase['usermap'] . '</a></li>'; 
}

It doesn't show the link on the forumhome. I really don't want to add a query for this to the parse_template hook as it will add a query to every page, won't it?
