Can someone walk me through the process and theory behind making a Variable visible in a template that it was not intended for? I am trying to integrate $activeusers, $totalonline and some others into my $welcometext and they will not show up. I was told that this requires some hacking, so here I am. I am fairly proficient at modifying templates, but the inner workings of vB is a mystery. I want to change that ASAP so maybe I can give out some advice for a change. Thanks in advance.

By the way, one of you super vB hackers out there that can swing a pen ought to write a "How to hack vB" book. Not necessarily a book on PHP per say but one that walks you through like 10-15 sample hacks from easy to complicated. I'd buy one.
