adv_portal template parsing forum title/description

[Rebecca]

I've moved the forum description code into the adv_portal template. The code is displaying as an empty box -- it seems the $foruminfo[title] and $foruminfo[description] aren't being parsed.

Does anyone know how I can fix this so these to variables are parsed from the adv_portal template? The code is as follows:

<if condition="$show['forumdesc']">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" width="100%"><strong>$foruminfo[title]</strong> <span class="smallfont">$foruminfo[description]</span></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
</if>

Thanks!

Rebecca

Unless the $foruminfo array is defined then the values will be empty - which is what you are seeing. For what you want to work you will need to modify the php code for the module that uses the template and fill in the values so they may be displayed.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your reply. I'm using the adv_portal template, which is the main formatting/display template for vBadvanced. It tells all the modules where to appear, but isn't a module in itself. (This is what I'm assuming from looking at the template, so anyone please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)

That said, how would I define the values so they DO appear correctly for that particular template?

Thank you,

Rebecca
