If you want to define a set number of templates that you use in every or many pages you can also add the code to the vbindex.php
Find:
PHP Code:
eval("\$homefooter .= \"".gettemplate('home_footer')."\";");
Add After It:
PHP Code:
// my templates
//--------------------------
eval("\$homestats = \"".gettemplate('home_stats')."\";");
Where $homestats is an example of what you want to place in your page eg, puting $homestats on a page to display stats where you want and home_stats is the name of the template with the code.
This can save alot of editing etc, when you change menus etc.
