vB3 - Custom templates

[Toneboy]

First post here - hope this is the right forum for this (and yes, I've done a search on the topic and not found the answer I was looking for).

Basically I've added my own site_navbar template into one of my styles (which I'm refining at the moment - I want to make sure it is right before launching it). I thought it was just case of adding $site_navbar into the template I wanted it to be shown in - could I have been more wrong?

Anyway, does anyone know what you need to tinker with to get a custom template to work?

Thanks in advance.

Php files

You need to assign a variable to a code that calls teh template like this

PHP Code:

$latestattachments .= "' . fetch_template('recent_attachments') . '"; 


That is a piece taken from my small hack here

Feel free to take a peak to see how it all works together.


Basically make the variable -- Assign the template to it like above -- Place this code in a certain php file -- Place the variable name where you wish the template to show


Sorry for the poor explination

No, that's actually going to be a big help. Thanks MindTrix.
