I believe there is a list like that at the vBulletin archives. It has some more in depth descriptions

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/archi...p/t-73290.html

**Ryan** · 12-12-2005, 01:10 AM

Yep, you would be right...some good info there also. I'll try and organize it at a later time

**sunilvarma** · 04-19-2006, 06:51 AM

both the list and the link by illusion helped a lot. i've been actually lookin for this sort of thing.

**Brandon Sheley** · 12-19-2006, 10:51 PM

wow, how did I not see this ?..lol

Thanks for the list guys, I'm always searching for these

mikem · 03-31-2007, 08:36 AM

This is what i've been looking for in almost 5 months, thanks.

$stylevar[imgdir_misc] Path for miscellaneous images

When I want to add a banner, or whatever, I upload it to here and use this variable to call it in my templates. This way no matter what theme, and no matter if it's outside the forum directory (like with a cms or mod) it always knows the correct path to the file. (I use this alot in template edits, thought i'd share.)

mikem · 04-03-2007, 06:26 PM

Thank you, I have a list that I have also made for myself as user notes on the desktop, I will add it to the list.

**Adam** · 04-03-2007, 09:35 PM

Great list, I will be looking back to this one often!

**Norman** · 04-05-2007, 06:07 PM

Great list. Really thanks.
