can't get variable to output?

[Mickie D]

Hi,

I am having an issue with a variable I want to call.

PHP Code:

$adss = "CHECK THIS OUT";

vB_Template::preRegister('navbar',array('adss' => $adss)); 


Nothing shows up using

{vb:raw adss}

in the navbar template.

To be honest I did this just to test the variable, which I am sure should display??

I really wanted to call a custom code from the database using the forumid, but I guess I should get it outputting first

Thank you for any advice

Regards
Mick
