I have built a custom page for my vB using this guide
I want to use an addon like Latest X Posts on Forumhome and have it display in my custom page. But the $latest variable doesnt insert it into my custom page, I have verified that the $latest command inserts it into any default template.
For some reason CYB - Advanced Forum Statistics shows correctly in my custom page by using $cybtopstats as per the instructions.
My question is what makes the CYB addon display and how can I make my other addons show on my custom page. Any help appreciated.
I haven't tried it, but just glancing at that mod it looks like maybe the variable you want is called "$platest" and not "$latest"?
Thanks for the response. I actually gave a link to a different version of the mod by accident. I am certain i am using the correct $command for the various mods I'm trying to display because I am testing them in my own custom page and the original FORUMHOME template. For whatever reason they dont display in my custom page, but cyb advanced forum statistics does.
OK, I see what you mean. I have another theory: the code that sets $latest is in a plugin using the "forumhome_start" hook, so it isn't running in your custom page, whereas the stats mod uses other hooks.

^^ Yep, what he said. The php code that defines the variable is probably not run for your page, so you may have to copy/paste it into your custom page.
