Well there's nothing wrong with yours, but they would have to edit the file, re-upload it each time they want to change it and if they wanted to add some dynamic tags in there then they'd get a parse error.

True. But i'd rather edit the file than edit a template for multiple template sets. Seems faster to me to just re-upload a file.
Bleh...whatever. You are the Ultimate Hacker, i'm just some lazy guy that can hardly code. :p

Ah, but you dont have to edit multiple templates, you just have to add the one template per style, or even better you can make the template global, so you only have to add it once and edit it vie vBOptions;)

True...
I have enough trouble using the gettemplate function to use it in a hack request...i always get parse errors or other errors when i try to use it ><

This doesnt work in 3.5.3 :(
