Parse the navbar

Can anyone please tell me where I need to go to parse the navbar? I tried the makenavbar function in the functions.php, but I can't seem to find the right place to parse it. I want to do a preg_replace in it.

In the function makenav in the functions.php, I put this code:

PHP Code:

    if ($bbuserinfo['userid']>0) {
        $nav_title = trim(preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", $bbuserinfo[username], $nav_title));
    } else {
        $nav_title = trim(preg_replace("/(\[)(you)(])/siU", "you", $nav_title));
    } 


Below:

PHP Code:

      $nav_url="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$id";
      $nav_title=$foruminfo[title]; 


But all it seems to do is replace the [you] with you instead of the user's name. Can anyone please tell me why it is parsing it to the 2nd preg_replace and not the first? If I switch it around, it parses it to nothing. I must be missing something here, but for the life of me, I don't know what.

very easy answer:
because $bbuserinfo is never defined in the function makenavbar

add $bbuserinfo to the global vars at the start of the function

You have no idea how stupid I feel right now. I knew the $bbuserinfo wasn't being defined but I thought that once it was defined anywhere in the functions.php, then it was defined for everything in there. I guess it needs to be defined for each function that uses it, huh? Now, hmmmm, let's see...what have we learned here today?

That's what we've learned.

Thank you, my friend, for pointing that out to me. And the wife thanks you, too. Now I can get away from the Puter for a while and spend some time with the family.
