as far as I have seen, footer template is created at the moment any other template is done...

example:
if at the top of a file.. before you did any template stuff...
you do

PHP Code:

echo $footer; exit; 


you will get a blank page...
but if you do:

PHP Code:

$templater = vB_Template::create('anytemplate')->render();
echo $footer; exit; 


the footer template will show...
--> so just find a place before the first template is created...
