Figured it out
If you use skins with images or if you need to add a link to the navbar ( the auto template feature only worked on the default skin for me) here's the code I used:
Code:
<!-- kBank START #navbar item -->
<td width="63" height="69" id="navbar_kbank" class="nav_buttons" /><a href="$kbank[phpfile]$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="k" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/nav_bank.png" width="63" height="69" border="0" alt="" /></a>
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_kbank",1); </script></td>
You'll need to clean it up with your image dimensions and img name
