I need to use nodeid, but it doesn't work in template

[user 1-2-3]

Hi there,

I have vB 4.2.5 on PHP 5.6.30 and I need to use {vb:raw nodeid} variable in vbcms_page template, but it doesn't work. It's just empty. Is there any chance to use anything else, which will show nodeid from cms_nodeinfo table in that template?

Thank you in advance!

A "contentid" is also acceptable. I need any variable I can identify CMS article inside HTML tag "head". But I can't find any variable which work inside construction like {vb:raw contentid}. Still waiting for help.

It's likely the variable isn't registered for that template. You would need to register it with some custom code. There's an article on vbulletin.org that explains how this is done.

I thought all of them will work like {vb:raw relpath} for example. But they didn't. I'm not sure where should I register "nodeid" from vbcms_page template? It's not a plugin, it's a standard vB template.

vB4 doesn't register all variables globally.

This is something that will require custom coding, which is outside the scope of our support. vbulletin.org is a good place to start with questions about this.
