an annoying problem

[robflack]

Hello, I'm completely new to VB so avoidance of technical terms would be most welcomed - but i'm willing to have a go at whatever you might through at me!

I have designed a welcome panel which displays stats like name, number of posts, etc. However, part of the panel (the generic forum stats) is located in the $header template. Whenever i try to call variables like $numbermembers from this template, nothing appears!

Could someone give me a walkthrough on making these varibles available to this template?

Thanks

Robert

you havwe to define those variables in global.php before the headertemplate is parsed...

but you shouldn' do such things, because it would increas queryamount on every page...

To display sthg in the header, add the code in the phpinclude template

[robflack]

Where about in global.php should i define them...?
just slot the DBquery code in anywhere before the header is parsed?

[Xenon]

grog is right, you can also put it into the phpinclude template, because it's parsed before the header emplate
