I used global_start with no problems, but as soon as I add your code, I get server errors. It works no problem before the code was added. Hooks work fine, but I would like to be able to place it anywhere in the forumhome. As soon as I add your code in place of mine, I get server errors.
Code:
$templater = vB_Template::create('affiliation');
$template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos5] .= $templater->render();
