The template isn't picking it up, but the value is showing ok...check the attached, almost there...

i've placed

$forum['replycount'] = $vbulletin->forumcache["$forumid"]['replycount'];

below the exisiting code in the hook : forumbit_display, it's the only location that'll work and show the values.

in the template > "$forum[replycount]" does nothing and i've tried re-jigging the merge template part to :

if ($forum['link'])
{
    eval('$forum[\'replycount\']  = "' . fetch_template('linkhits') . '";');
    $forum['threadcount'] = '';
    $forum['lastpostinfo'] = '';
}

but it does not show the template (redirected hits etc)

so yet again i'm at an impass...bugger i'll need some more help again me thinks
