"WGO" in sub forums

[osayidan]

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to include the "what's going on" area into sub forums. I have my forum set up similar to vbulletin.org, with different categories acting as sections to the site, and I would like to offer the site stats to people who hang around in one section rather than going to the home page.

I managed to get it to display on the forums I wanted using conditionals, so only the category forums have it. However it only shows in plain text, for example:

What's Going On?
Currently Active Users
Most users ever online was

With no CSS or data, just the above text. I'm guessing I need to somehow tell VB that I want those templates and that data included in the forumdisplay template, but I get totally lost at this point.

I read an article on how to bring in variables, but I have no idea -which- variables to even begin with.

Is there any documentation on this somewhere? or an existing mod that either does this or comes close to it that I can study it? Or if it's just a matter of a few simple steps if someone can post that and get it all over with it would be nice too.

Thanks.
