Help adding variables to header

[pgowder]

I just upgraded to 3.6.4 from 3.0.

In the old version I could use the php include function to process some variables and then call them in the header.

For example I use this:

PHP Code:

$fileusername = "$userinfo['username']";
$fileemail = "$userinfo['email']";
$fileuserid = "$userinfo['userid']"; 


And this:

PHP Code:

ob_start();
require("skyad.inc");
$skyad= ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean(); 


So now I'm trying to do the same thing in 3.6. I created new plugins for each of these. And hooked them to global_start.

But on the forums, the variables don't work.

What am I doing wrong?

Try this format instead:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->userinfo['username'];

Closer?!? Maybe?

Using this:
$vbulletin->userinfo['username'];

It prints out Object now. That's better than being blank!

First of all, its kinda hard to help when we don't know what your trying to accomplish.

Whats the purpose in this code: ?

PHP Code:

ob_start();
require("skyad.inc");
$skyad= ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean(); 


Get rid of that for the time being and try...

and don't put double quotes around this $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];

Actually that is working now! When I put in this new link for userinfo instead of bb it started working.

The include file is just to pull in a file I use in the design.

I need the user info to include in the javascript for the Hubz program. If you aren't familiar with it Hubz is an instant messaging program. My users love it!
