I've posted in a couple of posts on beginners forum but nobody seems to be able to help me...

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=39259&forum=27

What I have to do to show the total number of members of the site?
Not only the number of members... also all the other smarty variables.
Thanks

you can't use smarty variables in custom blocks. There are site info blocks that show this kind of information.

Even if I write a php page to insert in a custom block that includes the files where the variables are defined?

And... if I want to add this information in the block Who's Online? Is this possible?

you can edit the code that generates the smarty variables for the who's online block, sure. It's located in modules/system/blocks/ (this also answers your other question, to some extent. the point of 'custom blocks' is that they are not the PHP files, but are created from the system admin -> blocks page. But of you write your own block generation code or modify an existing block, then sure!)

Thanks for the help I begin to understand something
I tried this:
1) I've modified the file system_blocks.php and I have add the test line "$block['total_members'] = "TEST";" in the "b_system_online_show()" function.

2) I've add at the beginning of the file system_block_online "<{$block.total_members}><br />".

And both works (also modifying only system_block_online)

But the smarty variable <{$lang_totalusers}> doesn't work, where is it defined what file I have to import to make it visible?

<{$lang_totalusers}> is defined in modules/xoopsmembers/index.php.
