Coding Error - Please Help

[xXLeighXx2008]

Hi, I am hoping that some people can help me with this as I am racking my brains to no avail.

What I am trying to do:
Get username's, Total Members, Board Title to show up on this page

What I've done:

I created a new page called portal.php which has html content with no vb functions and I can't seem to get it to call any user information

Portal.php



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

portal_main template

I am not a coder and don't know what to do from here, so I am hoping that some people can explain some steps to get these following commands working:

Suprisingly, Users Online DOES work. I need the code for Total Members too :)

As its not pulling any of this data, its not even pulling the table code:

If you are not a coder I suggest you take a quick read of this article: [How-To] vBulletin API Basics: Creating Custom Pages & Misc. (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=98009) and this one: [How-To] vBulletin API Basics: Variables, Functions, Objects (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=98047)

The UserCP page is more complicated then the other pages so its not a great one to use as a beginners template. (The first thread I gave, provides basic instructions and some guideline code).

If I can just make myself clearer - this page that I have created IS in the forum directory.

so its /forum/portal.php

Most of that code applies if you are running it as external content

vBulletin Variables List (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=179930) Should have what you need.
