Created new page ... How do I get the footer in it?

[kkinsey]

Hello,

I'm sorry if this is a FAQ. I've searched a bit and haven't been able to glean an answer from what I've read.

Per management, I've added a new page to a development site. Everything looks great, but the page isn't rendering a footer when displayed.

Here's my render code, including a recent attempt to force a footer to show up...

PHP Code:

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);
$templater = vB_Template::create('kdk_pfs');
        $templater->register_page_templates();
        $templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
        $templater->register('checked', $checked);
print_output($templater->render());

// Can't get the footer to show!!  This apparently will NOT work:
$myfooter = vB_Template::create('footer');
$myfooter->register_page_templates();
print_output($myfooter->render()); 


If you're experienced w/hacking vB, you can probably tell that I'm clueless. I don't see any logic in content.php, forum.php, etc. regarding the footer, so I'm left at this point to conclude it's Magic(tm). Any thoughts?

I welcome any assistance anyone can offer (apart from suggestions about job hunting ) - thanks!
