Weirdness with $vbphrase

[mikesz]

Hello,

I ran this question over on vBulletin.com and surprise, surprise, they referred me here.

I created a new setting in my admincp called termsofuse so that I could just add the URL to the file to load, just exactly like the Privacy Statement. The $vboption[termsofuse] works perfectly BUT the $vbphrase piece is empty for some reason even though I can see and access it in the database and in the phrase utility in the admincp.

For some reason, the array value $vbphrase[termsofuse] that I think is suppose to contain "Terms Of Use" is empty and no matter what I do, I can not get or don't know how to get that value loaded from the database to the working array.

This code works:

<if condition="$vboptions[termsofuseurl]"><a href="$vboptions[termsofuseurl]">Terms Of Use</a> - </if>

but if I run this code:

<if condition="$vboptions[termsofuseurl]"><a href="$vboptions[termsofuseurl]">$vbphrase[termsofuse]</a> - </if>

It breaks the link and inserts a blank or null in the space instead.

Any idea where or how I can initialize the array to grab the correct phrase from the database?

TIA for your help.

regards, mikesz
