Thanks a lot for this
This is what i use as my JOURNAL template i believe it should work if you copy and paste this.
PHP Code:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
$headinclude
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - $vbphrase[journals]</title>
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar
<!-- Journal Welcome Panel -->
