Maybe this belongs in customisation, but I REALLY need an explanation

[downloadsuk]

Ok thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I can see how now (brown cow) I might be able to move the facebook variable and therefore move all the header stuff to the navbar, which might solve my problem.

If it does, then Lynne, you're a freaking genius. However, on the flip side, if I wanted to move the navbar to the header. How does that all work?

I mean, building the navbar, the "HOME" tab is built inside vbCMS_navbar_link, but then somehow dropped into the navbar template, as far as I can tell. But in the navbar template, it doesn't call that vbcms_navbar_link template anywhere. How does it get added to it!?!

The only place it seems to work is if the navbar is in the navbar template. What if I wanted to moved the navbar to say, the footer, for experiments sake? If you move it out of the navbar template (the navbar generating code, it "loses" the home tab?!). I'm not asking you to write my code Lynne, just give me a technical explanation and I can investigate further.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Also, a second point. How would I register that facebook variable elsewhere?

It wouldn't be a custom variable, its a big old vbulletin variable. and I think the other template that gets called is dependent on it too.

$vboptions['enablefacebookconnect']

is the one?

I have read the guide, but it talks about rendering templates? Surely I don't need to render a template? just register that vbulletin variable elsewhere? but to register it, I need to access it's values, can I access them from my own code?!

If you catch my drift...
