Some more verbose documentation of the new link-method would really be appreciated. For which types of pages is it operative, and what parameters can or have to be provided?

Note that for "each" , the key part (in red) is optional.

Has to be the worst template documentation ever. Basically this doc is a waste of time since there is soo little information in it. Not helpful what so ever, more of a hindrance since I wasted my time reading it instead of looking for a better resource. I would suggest you check out the Smarty template eninge's docs for what helpful docs look like.

Thanks Marco for taking the time to write this for us. I found it quite helpful.

Feel free to write better documentation once you know what you're doing since you already know what good documentation is.

In the meantime, I found this helpful, thank you for writing it.

Yea I would write helpful documention if they paid me, everyone here seems to forget this software costs money and has mabye 4 offical plugin + template docs released for a new plugin + template system compared to the likes of wordpress which is free and has more info than the average person will be able to take in.

{vb:urlencode variable}

Yet no mention of what format the variable is to be used, is it the $variable or is it just variable.

{vb:if condition, true[, false]}

No defination of the syntax for a condition, nor defination of what the out for true can be or how to format it. Same goes for

<vb:if condition="condition">true result</vb:if>

which I personnally have extreme trouble getting to work, tried "$array.value='text'","array.text=text","$array.value==text",etc basically every way possible to try and get it to work and constantly it fails and which documention like this to fall back on it's a joke. If this was a user submitted documention it wouldn't bother me but it's offical documention and one of the few offical documention I could find, hell http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/ doesn't even have version 4 docs there. The only thing that eases my pain on this subject is knowing it wasn't me that paid for the license.

I've tried multiple ways, but cannot seem to get it to output at all.

I'm trying to get some of the site stats variables from here to display, but to no avail.

I've tried a few ways...

Which combo is going to work?

Thanks

1 or 3, depending on what's in the variable. But I doubt that that variable is available in globally, so you'd probably make a plugin to fill it and register it for the template you want to use it in.

[mbreezy]

Oh, okay. But I thought the variables listed in the vBulletin variable list (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=179930) were global.

[cellarius]

No, the site statistics variables were never globally available in vB3, plus: you're using vB4, as it seems, and there have been some significant changes on what is available where.

While studying vb code is quite challenging and fun but at the same time this forum or vb itself is pathetic. Almost zero docs even for paying members. Woot!
