calling an external script with arguments

[tHE DSS]

I didn't realise you were using the templates... that bombs out the thought of dodgy PHP tags.

Ummm... i'm just extremely tired... I should have been in bed hours ago... i'll be a zomby at work tomorrow (today, technically).

If i'm giving you no joy, hopfully at least this can get the ball rolling for others to help.

Anyway... i'm not sure about the php-include template... i've never been sure of it's stability in doing code for extra needs.

But, try putting your link/url generating code into the vB script that you need it from... or whack it into the global.php script if you need it everywhere.

.. then your $userthumb values may work.

In the admin/functions.php, you see :

// ###################### Start getuserinfo #######################

... after that... well, you can guess.

Put your code after all the userinfo generating, if you wish. Or in the forums/global.php, after :

// ###################### Start functions #######################

.. where the functions.php get's "required".
