adding sidebar code to every single template--an easier way?

[doob]

Hi all.

I am adding sidebar code to a new custom template. I started by getting it working in the FORUMHOME template, then added the code to the FORUMDISPLAY template. It looks like I'm going to have to customize each of the templates where I want the sidebar to show up (posts, contact us, sendmessage, etc.).

Am I going about this the wrong way? Is there a more global approach to adding this? Is there a better way to make sure I have code consistancy than editing each template individually to inject the code I need?

Thanks!
