Thanks for the help here.
I`ve started reading a advanced php book and I have thought of doing it the way you`re suggesting NTLDR. The thing that bothers me that the specific template forumrules is allready assigned to the variable $forumrules and used in the showthread template. But it doesn`t work to use $forumrules in new_template, and I can`t find the code for forumrules assigned to the $forumrules variable in any of the php files.
Anyways, I think I`ll just assign the forumrules code to a new variable as you said, and then it should probably work
One thing though, where is the physical location of the templates? in the database?
Thanks,
Haakon
