added a template, how to call it in global.php?

[offlead]

I need to add something to the navbar on the forum (vb3 rc2). Because I'm using the same chunk of code on NON-forum pages, I created a new template for it. (Yes, it's in the parent style, and all the child styles.) I know that I need to add it into the global.php file so that it will correctly be brought into each page of the forum.

I added to the navbar template:

<!-- / breadcrumb, login, pm info -->

<!-- vh nav buttons bar -->
<div align="center">
	<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">
	<tr align="center">	
		$vh_navbar_contents
	</tr>
	</table>
</div>
<!-- / vh nav buttons bar -->

<!-- nav buttons bar -->
<div align="center">

where vh_navbar_contents is the newly created template.

Poking in the global.php file, I can see where the templates are called, and added the new one in with the other navigation templates:

	// navbar construction
	'vh_navbar_contents',
	'navbar',
	'navbar_link',

And here's where my lack of knowledge starts kicking in. If I understand correctly, I need to eval the template? I tried adding the eval in under the ones for header, headinclude, and footer, but it still doesn't show up. Tried adding an eval for navbar as well, still nothing. I got the vh_navbar_contents to show up on non-forum pages, where I'm calling it from vh_navbar instead of navbar, but can't seem to get it into the forum. Would someone be so kind as to explain how to include this puppy in the global file?

Thanks!
