Calling a custom template?
 

I have a small hack which changes what happens when you click on a user's name on the "who's online" section of the forum home page. However i'd like to keep the who's online function and add this new function below it. I have created a new (identical) box section below the who's online section.

The hack requires that you replace the info in the forumhome_loggedinuser with the hacked info. Since i want to keep the original template, i created a new template called page_users with the hacked info in it. But i'm not sure how to call / fetch this new template so that it shows the online users and executes the new function (to open an SMS window). Obviously i can't use $activeusers command since it calls the forumhome_loggedinuser template.

Therefore, i'm wondering what the best way to call the custom template is, and how to go about doing it.

Thanks :)

*bump* Anyone?
