Templates and variables

[PeF]

I created a new template and i need to use $totalthreads $timenow etc variables in this template. They just work in forumhome template.

What i need to change or set?

Thx in advance...

You need to find where those are set in index.php and copy them over to whereever your template is located (I mean the file where it's called from)

Oops. Sorry. Didn't catch it. :) I didn't find timenow or totalthreads in index.php.

Ok. Straightly to the point. :)

Has anyone resolved this? I am trying to accomplish the same thing and nothing shows up. You can see it here (http://www.islandncs.com/ad/index.php)

Ed already posted the solution.

You need to go into index.php and either make it so those variables are parsed globally or copy them where the location of the code that calls your template is.

If you look at http://vbulletin.com/manual/templates.html you will see what templates are global and which aren't as well as what variables are available on what pages.
