That'd be me :D anywho..how do you get one template to call to another template?
So say in my forumhome...i have $logincode that chooses between the logged in or out option..and I want to make a duplicate of that in my welcome panel...but i want to alter the way it looks but only in the welcome panel..
so i guess..if your logged in..there are 3 links in the logged in code..the Log Off, Mark all threads read, and Forum Leaders

well in my welcome panel i want to drop the forum leaders link, but I still want it to be on the bottom of the page..so i need a new set of templates...What i need to know is how to get the forumhome to call to welcome_login or welcome_logout (my 2 newtemplates) depending on whether or not the person is logged in or out

It would require a hack or maybe phpinclude for new templates to work in others. (As well as a variable)

then how do i get it to work?

You can ask at vb.org for the hack way to do it. We do not support file mods.
