Accessing the $forum array
Hi guys,
I'm new to vbulletin but have found it fantastic so far. I'm currently modding my forumhome template so that next to each category (ie. a forum set to no posts) it has the number of subforums inside (rather than a threadcount). When I call $forum[subforums] however it returns nothing. Am I using it incorrectly and if so can anyone tell me where I can read more about the $forum array? I've searched for a while to no avail... Thanks in advance! |

The easiest way is to create a small plugin that dumps the contents of the array. The contents may change depending on the page that is loading it.

Thanks for your reply Marco, much appreciated.
I've realised that I had to set my subforums depth setting to 1 in order for $forum[subforums] to contain anything. Now that I can see that, I just need to be able to retrieve an integer for the 'count' of subforums rather than the insertable 'summary' of them. <?php var_dump($forum) ?> isn't giving me any sort of result in the forumbit_level2_nopost template - is there another way I should be using it? edit: Just realised I can't run php from inside templates, looking more into plugins now. --------------- Added [DATE]1270165709[/DATE] at [TIME]1270165709[/TIME] --------------- This seems to be getting too complicated, fast - all I want to do is get the number of subforums in a category on forumbit_level2_nopost, just like I can do for threadcount or replycount - surely this variable exists already and I don't have to create a plugin with hooks in a template (while not knowing which template I should be hooking) ? |
