using phrases on non-VB pages

[Ratchet]

Currently I'm including global.php to get vb data on my external page, and that works well, but I can't get the vbphrases. Is there something I have to include to get access to VB phrases on non-VB pages?

Add this line of code near the top of your file:

$phrasegroups = array();

That ought to do the trick, let me know if for some odd reason it doesn't work.

unfortunately that didn't seem to work

I'm not setting it up as a "proper" template system, just... well, here's the code I use to call global.php (including your recent advice):

PHP Code:

<?php
    $curdir = getcwd(); // store the current directory
    chdir($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/board/"); // switch to the forum directory
    
    require_once('./global.php'); // init vbulletin 
    require_once("functions.php"); // get site specific functions

    $phrasegroups = array();

    chdir($curdir); // change back to the original working directory
?>

everything after this is custom code for the site.

Actually the phrase does show up when I put it directly in my php file, but it doesn't show when I put it in a custom template.

Nevermind, I got it. Simply forgot to bring the $vbphrase array into my function
