// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array();
 
// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array();
 
// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array(); 


Why ? Because, this need to be setup before global.php is calling. As it's written in your script, you call global.php (require_once mean called once and no more ...) but showthread.php won't call it (as it was already called) ... and $globaltemplates, $phrasegroups etc. won't be loaded.

Already thought of that but it didn't work Thanks tho!

Not sure if it will work, but it may. Saying that, its still kind of clunky

You may be better off using the global_start hook to include your code. Reason being that all your URLs will have to point to the same script which will simply encase each page.

Go with the global_start hook it will work for you in the long run.

HTHs

That actually worked . I suppose it is ok that i have to clean the variables myself; better than nothing ! :banana: thx
