I have my forums and we publish DVD reviews in a specific forum there.
I want to present the reviews in a nicer way, with more powerful search tools, integrating DVD specifications, screen captures, news etc which I can't do on the forums.
So I have developed a separate website avplay.com to be launched soon.
When a review is published, we will create a thread on our forums for discussion of the review.
Below the review I want to display that thread with login & register options for people who aren't members of our forums, yet. Plus reply options for people who are.
Is this possible with webtemplates? I susepct it is. More to the point has someone already done it who can help with examples?
Many thanks in advance.

Webtemplates is a GREAT HACK, but it sounds like you want something more like GARS which has all of these features already. I use both Webtemplates and GARS since they really do two fairly different things. WT is perfect for static pages, a way to hook in php bits, html files, etc. GARS is better for a review or article system if you want people to be able to create and edit content without the admincp.

Either way, both of these systems are essential, great support too!
