can i use $totalthreads variable in footer template?

Firstly, i'm trying to put the right side bar in my site, but i want the right side bar to display in every page on my site, so i did put the right side bar code in footer template.

Actaully it could work well, but when i try to put the "statistics" table code which were originally in the forum home template code, all the variables like $totalthreads, $totalposts, $numbermembers, $activemembers, $newusername don't work and don't display anything.

How can i make all the varibles work properly in the footer??? Please tell me...it's urgent!!!

zoma, you would need to make a plugin in the function the template is called and declare the variables you need as global etc.

And I.

I have the idea that it needs to go in the global.php, but I am not certain how to declare them or where in the php file.
