PHP in the Forum SideBar

[seo guy]

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to include some PHP code in the templates for VB. Basically I have some logic that I would like to do for displaying different things in the sidebar - I would like to add a file_get_contents() function then display the result in the sidebar.

I hope this makes sense - Does this sound possible?

Thank you.

Process the PHP logic in a plugin (if it is on a forum sidebar that appears on every page, you'd probably want to go with global_complete) and then store the contents in a variable to display in the template.

Thanks for this thread...
I want to include a PHP include on my navbar (to display a random quote on each page), so can you tell me a little bit more about how to include my code in the right plug in?

Thank you for your help :)

THANKS!
