Spinball,

What exactly are you trying to do? Is it possible to create a template with the contents of your external html file? If yes, then create it and then you go in global.php, and find

PHP Code:

    // misc useful 


Above that add something like

PHP Code:

    'sponsorspanel', 


in between the list you see there. Then, go into your phpinclude_start template and add a line like

PHP Code:

eval('$sponsorspanel = "' . fetch_template('sponsors_panel') . '";'); 


Then, you can use the variable $sponsorpanel wherever you want in the other templates.

Another method is to do the evaluation of the templates in global.php, instead of phpinclude_start. Several ways exist.

In either case, all you have to do, is to make sure that the template sponsors_panel contains the HTML code you want.

Sorry if this is not the case of what you are trying to do. The above helped me.
