Template Variables

[rogersnm]

I have set up a some variables in foruhome_start that go trhough a bbcode parser:

PHP Code:

include_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');
global $vbulletin;

$parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

$nick_title = $parser->do_parse($vbulletin->options[nick_announce_title], true, true, true, true, true, false);

$nick_contents = $parser->do_parse($vbulletin->options[nick_announce_conents], true, true, true, true, true, false); 


When i put $nick_contents or $nick_title in a template it doesn't work but if i put

PHP Code:

echo $nick_contents; 


at the bottom of the forumhome_start plugin code then it echo's it out as it should. Any Ideas?
