Thinking out loud.

- I am working on 1 php file / product and plugins to contain all the needed PHP code to show gallery images in many places of the forums. My current problem with this is global datastore. I have been working on a global datastore call into VB w/ 1 file edit to VB core files. This would stop the need for edit each php file of VBCore to show images on the page via. plugin. This edit also works for any CMPS portal block / page as well as VB powered pages.

I have many small projects in the mix.
I'll see about gathering the code up.

No problem! btw nice page you got there! I like your design and keep up the good looking work you got there

Well I thoroughly searched for 20 minutes and used the Find function and still couldn't find it.

All I could find was $phrasegroups = array('cphome'); is this the same thing?

forums/index.php

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'index');

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array('holiday','adv_gallery');

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array(
	'userstats',
	'birthdaycache',
	'maxloggedin',
	'iconcache',
	'eventcache',
	'mailqueue',  
        'gallery_c_cache',

);

Do you have the vbadvance portal? Don't get mix up with the two index files now.

[AzianStang]

I do not have vbadvance.

All I have in the "pre-cache templates and data" section are:

// #################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
$phrasegroups = array('cphome');
$specialtemplates = array('maxloggedin');

?

You sound like your in /admincp/index.php or modcp/index.php.

You need to edit:
/forums_install_folder/index.php

IE: /forums/index.php
