If your template is in red, that means it isn't cached.

Maybe just a hand-off will do. :)

This is an example of caching a template only used on the showthread page. You would remove the bit about THIS_SCRIPT if it is used on every page.

hook - cache_templates

if (is_array($globaltemplates) AND THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread')
{
$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('postbit_my_template'));
}

This is used on every page its part of my header

So i need to add

if (is_array($globaltemplates)
{
$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('$headernav'));
}

to the first line of my

$headernav template ?

I dont think you need the money sign in there, just the template name

$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('headernav'));

I added that to the beginning of my template and when i viewed the site it had the text

= array_merge(, array('headernav'));

above the headernav

Im lost bud ,

Originally i wrote the Code and had it in the $header , I then has AWCoding come in and make it to where it was its own templete $headernav so the only thing in the $header is $headernav so my pages would load faster IMO , now i find out its not catched and all i want it to be is right and dont know how because i dont think he installed a plug in he just made it a templete and found a away for it to fire with just $headernav in the $header template

It doesn't matter if he made it a plugin or not. If you want the template cached *you* need to make a plugin to do so. Follow the instructions in post 10 if you want that template cached. If you don't care if it's cached or not (it's not the end of the world), then don't make the plugin to cache it.
