How to print Forum ID?

[kh99]

No problem. You want to create a plugin. You can do that by going to "Add New Plugin" under "Plugins & Products" in the admin control panel. Select the hook location (parse_templates) from the drop down menu, and enter a title (something so you can remember what it's for later). Put the code in the big text box, select the "Yes" radio button, and press "Save".

The code you enter will be included at a certain point in the vb code. In this case, if you're interested, you can look at includes/class_bootstrap.php and search for parse_templates and you'll find this:

PHP Code:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('parse_templates')) ? eval($hook) : false; 


That line will get any code you entered for that hook location and execute it.

Sorry if that's TMI, you can ignore everything after the first paragraph.
