Hey,

I have a page which updates a field in the users table... I have worked out to use the eval(.....) part to get the vbcode_buttons to show... but I cant get the drop down menus to populate.

here's the function: (edited slightly)

if ($action=="custompage") {
  $templatesused = 'error_nopermission_custompage,error_nopermission_customposts,usercpnav,modifycustompage_bit,modifycustompage';
  $templatesused .=",vbcode_buttons,vbcode_sizebits,vbcode_fontbits,vbcode_colorbits";

  include("./global.php");
  // do modify profile form

  eval("\$cpnav = \"".gettemplate("usercpnav")."\";"); 
  eval("\$vbcode_buttons = \"".gettemplate("vbcode_buttons")."\";"); 
  eval("\$custompagebit = \"".gettemplate("modifycustompage_bit")."\";");
}

but for some reason the vbcode menus are not being populated!!
what have I done wrong?!

thanks for any help!
