how do you pass custom variables to register template

[go2phil]

This might be a dumb question, but what is the process for passing custom variables to the register.php page?

For example, let's say someone tries to login and you want to auto-populate the registration page with the username and password that the user attempted to login with?

I've tried using $vbulletin->session, $vbulletin->userinfo, making my own variables, and they're all valid until that page loads and then it appears all the information that I had stored in those variables prior to reaching that page seem to be "reset" or wiped out.

I ran into a similar problem with the password and found out that there's a little thing called DISABLE_PASSWORD_CLEARING in class_bootstrap.php that was preventing the passfield from getting passed so I could look at it later...I'm wondering if there's a similar thing happening with the register.php file that I'm not seeing.

Any suggestions?

If I'm not mistaken it looks like vbulletin runs through the entire init process before it hits the register.php page...?

I'm not sure what you're asking exactly. When you say "passing custom variables" to a page, how exactly are you trying to do that? Are you trying to get values remembered from one .php page to another?

I was trying to get a value from one page to another page. Since I've posted this I've become much more familiar with the templates and their interactions and have solved this a different way.

Thanks for replying to it though.
