Problem getting new template to show

[led_belly]

Hello,

I have done the following but still am not getting the template to be included in a page:

First, I created a new template called navbar_popups and added some markup. (btw: When I try to associate the new template with a custom product, after I save it and go back it appears under the default vbulletin product... is this normal?)

Second, in an existing template (that works) I added:

$navbar_popups

Third, I created a plugin in the global_start hook with this:

PHP Code:

eval('$navbar_popups .= "' . fetch_template('navbar_popups') . '";'); 


Lastly, I created another plugin in the cache_templates hook location with this:

PHP Code:

$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('navbar_popups')); 


I am running in debug mode and when I refresh the page "navbar (1)" shows up in Template Usage (not red, so the cache works) but the markup isn't present in the source thus the template does not showup on the page. Any ideas?
