Getting variable output to display in header

[Alex@Mk3OC]

Hi

I've got a {vb:raw xxxxx} variable which will display fine on the FORUMHOME and SHOWTHREAD templates but I can't get it to display in the header template. Can someone help?

Thanks

You must preregister this to be able to use in header and footer.

I've tried that, but it doesn't seem to want to work

This is what I've tried:

PHP Code:

vB_Template::preRegister('header', array('xxxxx' => $xxxxxxx)); 

This works for the FORUMHOME and SHOWTHREAD templates though

Please, post full code and in which hook are you using it.
