Subject: global source code variables?
is there a definitive list anywhere of all the variables accessible from within UNB?   the link on this page just goes back to the site frontpage

specifically i'm trying to embed a 'flickr badge' at the top of a page, but i want it only to show on one particular forum, so i need some way to test.  eg:


{ if <forumname or forumID == whatever> }
< show flickr badge >
{else}
< don't >
{endif}

Yves helped me out with exactly this question:

Custom changes for specific forums.  I use it for all kinds of changes to specific forums, including header image changes, and CSS changes for different colours.

i saw that thread yesterday, when i was looking for an answer to my own problem, but i couldnae get  the $HeaderForumID variable yves mentions to return a value.  in the end i hacked it with javascript, grabbing the forum ID off the end of the document.location:

<!-- next stobsaí hack - show flickr badge on ATPS pages -->
<script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
// function to allow one JS file to be included by another
function includeJS(JSfile)
{{
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="'
    + JSfile + '"></scr' + 'ipt>');
}

var forumID = (new String(document.location)).substr(-2);
if(forumID == 26){{
document.write('<div class="flickrbadge" style="width:100% height:80px;"><table id="flickrbadgeinner" style="padding:6px;"><tr><td>');
includeJS("http://www.flickr.com/badge_code_v2.gne?show_name=1&count=6&display=random&size=s&layout=h&context=in%2Fpool-appletalker%2F&source=group&group=888453%40N24");
document.write('</td><td><a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/appletalker/pool/" class="external" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.appletalker.net/grafix/ATPSlogowithtext.png" width="196" height="80" alt="ATPSlogo" style="padding-left:20px;"></a></td></tr></table></div>');
}
else
{{
        ;   
}
//]]></script>

</div>
<!-- end next stobsaí hack - show flickr badge on ATPS pages -->

t'would still be nice if yves bequeathed us a definitive list of available variables tho', before UNB finally gets abandoned in favour of the mythical UNB2.   ;-)

A definitive list of every template variable, which is anywhere set, is attached (modulo plug-ins).

I'll try to narrow down the 'when is it set?' conditions... or anyone else?
