How do I implement custom templates?

[habu]

Ok, I go to 'Add Templates' give it a name (let say 'try') and put somthing into the large field.
So, now I have my Template setup!?

BUT, when I call it in another Template (by adding '$try' somewhere), the content is not shown.
I'm smelling it can't be that easy, but since it won't be to difficult please tell me someone:
HOW DO I DO IT?

You cannot call the template by $mytemplate and just have it work. You must eval the template somewhere in the PHP files. That somewhere is dependent on where you want your template to appear.

Ok, I got the picture!

So, that way I can even make non-custom templates available in oyher templates?
Nice.

Thank you to the lady...
