You're absolutely right! Wow, sorry mate, that's great. Almost there.
Calling the template I created works great on non vB pages but that same code doesn't work on vB pages. Very odd.
I'm doing this at the top of my header.php which is included on every page, vB or not.
PHP Code:
eval('$nav_notify = "'.fetch_template('SS_NOTIFICATIONS').'";');
Now that works on the non vB pages but if it's a vB page, when I output $nav_notify it's blank. Any ideas?
