The groups_index_listbit template is a template that will be looped several times. When you add the concatenating assignment operator ('.='), this will allow you to call this template over and over again untill the MySQL query runs out of data.

For example: If you wanted to echo every username in your database, you would create a mysql query telling the database to give you all usersname is the user row. And echo everyname. Heres how we would do this.

The $query variable holds the mysql commands.

$query = $db->query_read("
        SELECT username
        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
");

This next code is creating an array. Each and every row of the usertable will be instered into the $user variable. The while() function will loop this array. Read the highlited comments in the code below...

while ($user = $db->fetch_array($templates))
{
        //now you are able to echo the username over and over again. You could simply add this...
        echo $user['username']; //remember $user is the array, and the "username" is the row you want to echo, you can only echo the rows you have selected from your query above. (SELECT username FROM...etc...)

        // if you want to use a template to echo the information, you wouldn't want to create 500 templates just because you have 500 usernames in the database. Hell no, you would simply add one BIT template and use the following code...
        eval('$mynewtemp .= "' . fetch_template('username_templatebit') . '";');

        // now, in your template where you want the results to show, you would add $mynewtemp anywhere in your main template code.
        // in the template called username_templatebit you would use the user[username] var to echo echo username

}

Hope this helps. It's late and explaing something is hard right now. I've had a couple of drinks.
