VBExperience 4 - allow variables everywhere

[josh_krz]

Hi there,

I'm pretty proficient with HTML, PHP and MYSQL but I have never dabbled with vBulletin plugins / products.

I would like to use variables from VBExperience such as user points everywhere on my forum.

I know that this variable isn't registered in the header template so I know I'll have to change some PHP but every attempt I make fails and nothing shows up.

I would like the logged in users points to be visible in the header template. Some explanation of how variables and templates work would be a great start, I don't expect to be spoon fed.

Thanks!

Please note that if a modification/style is unsupported (or even if it says it is supported), you may be on your own if you chose to install it.

you can use any of these in any template:

like this

PHP Code:

{vb:raw bbuserinfo.X} 


(replace X with the variable you want to use)

Although you were slightly off you gave me the ideas I needed to complete this. In fact I used:

{vb:raw bbuserinfo.xperience}

This show the points on all pages, thank you very much!

Is there a way to list all variables within bbuserinfo?

[vBNinja]

create a plugin using the global_complete hook

with:

PHP Code:

print_r($vbulletin->userinfo);

And in case you don't want to use a hook or plugin, you can do it in a template as well:

PHP Code:

<vb:each from="$bbuserinfo" key="key" value="value">
    {vb:raw $key} - {vb:raw $value}<br>
</vb:each>
