How to use compile_template function?

[asdfadrian]

I have this issue as well. Maybe my contribution will provide some movement and a closer find to a fix.

I am using a custom template that is a cnp (which I plan to edit) of the FORUMDISPLAY template for specific forumids.

I discovered that the statement below does not work:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['forumslist']"> 


However, if you replace the forumslist with quicksearch it will like below:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['quicksearch']"> 


So some variables are not included in the template, so you have to define them somehow.

Further information and details can be found at this thread.

I know for me in VB3 templates I can never use the single quotes... try:

<if condition="$show[forumslist]">
