Integrating VBulletin and Smarty

[konstance]

I'm trying to integrate my current VBulletin forum with an X-Cart Store system, which uses Smarty templates.

Basically, what I'd like to do is take one of the Smarty templates and include it on the VBulletin page.

So far, I've been able to include the .tpl file itself, but it doesn't get parsed. (i have included the template in phpinclude_start and assigned it to a variable).

I have no idea how to do it so I just see the processed template and not the code.

Does anyone have ideas on how that could be done? I would greatly appreciate any pointers in the right direction.

Thanks
